It's our final day of the #KGOpenHeartedWarriors challenge. ♥️ Boo! It's been so much fun co-hosting and seeing all of your beautiful posts! Our final pose is Eka Pada Rajakapotasana (King Pigeon pose). The variation I give you today uses some props, some patience, lots of core awareness, and setting the ego aside. Between scoliosis, arm to leg to torso length proportions, and other structural differences, I have not ever been able to grab my foot in this shape. And, the reality is that I likely will not ever be able to. And, that's okay! It's so important for us to embrace our individual differences. I love this shape and I love that I am able to take it in any capacity right now given some SI joint issues over the last several months. The reality is that I couldn't put my shoes on a few months ago! . ♥️ . As with the other big heart openers over the last few days, I need to be warmed up quite a lot. My dear friend and co-host @alicelouiseyoga gave such lovely tips for warming up for Urdhva Dhanurasana and they would all be perfect here. I also really like twists both before and after backbends. Be kind to yourself! . .♥️ . Check out my friends and co-hosts for other tips and variations. I can't wait to see your hearts shine! . .♥️ . .....

Day 5 of #KGOpenHeartedWarriors is Urdhva Dhanurasana (Upward Facing Bow) pose. 🎡 This pose is a huge challenge for me. HUGE. It requires so much in terms of range of motion for the shoulders, the hips, the wrists, and the spine! Each time I visit her, she definitely teaches me some lessons....how to breathe, how to stay, how to not panic, how to stay mindful, you name it. I haven't practiced it much lately due to SI issues. And, if I am coming in, you better believe that I am doing my damndest not to compress in the low back. A block between the thighs is my go-to to keep my upper glutes from over clenching, which will help keep some space around those SI joints. 🌠🌠🌠 I need to be seriously warmed up in order to attempt this posture...and for me it's not just a few quick poses. Before coming in to this, I took an hour long heated vinyasa class full of down dog, dolphin, core awareness, lunges, and twists. The yoga wheel also helps! And, when in doubt? Bridge! 🌉 With a block, of course. 💁🏻‍♀️ 🌠🌠🌠 Check out my friends and co-hosts for other tips and variations. I can't wait to see your hearts shine! 🌠🌠🌠 .....
