#yoga101

As per this yoga style, you practice selflessly to help other people, without anticipating any reward consequently. Rehearsing karma yoga is a powerful path that helps purifying your brain.

This posture was a reminder that im self-taught. Of course ive been to many yoga classes, but every "advanced" posture you see me in is the result of a lot of time and experimentation at home (aka lots of falling 😂). Today i understand this headstand variation MUCH more. It has always been so difficult for me! Heres the not-so-secret secret i learned:.... keep your hips stacked over your shoulders, dummy. 🙄🤦🏾‍♀️ Yes! I was reminder to protect my foundation while transitioning. #Yoga101 Nothing fancy occurs if you dont have your basics set up. Once i focused on the placement of my hips instead of desperately trying not to fall over, it just worked 🙌🏾✨ For a moment i was mad that this was the key i needed this whole time. If i had a teacher i could have easily found comfort in this headstand ages ago. But i love being self-taught. The intimacy of my practice is so unique because of it. It just may take me a little longer to get there! 😬👌🏾 #yoga #yogi #yogateacher #yogaeverydamnday #health #healing #exercise #fitness #fit #selfcare #selflove #lacyprogress #progress

“When you reach for the stars, you are reaching for the farthest thing out there. When you reach deep into yourself, it is the same thing, but in the opposite direction. If you reach in both directions, you will have spanned the universe.” 💫 ~ Vera Nazarian 💗 . . Tomorrow is Day 2️⃣ of the #Love4Splits #yogachallenge and I am so amazed by the beautiful warrior 3 poses from our participants. Absolutely stunning! 😍 . . The next #asana is #Skandasana or #sidelunge. In the Ashtanga practice, one leg is behind the head and in a forward fold. My outer hips weren’t warmed up enough, and I found it much safer to practice ahimsa in the side lunge. ☺️ . .

#Repost per credit from & the courtesy of @alexandriacrowyoga ・・・ MISQUOTES - To err is human, as they say. What’s the most laugh out loud or eye-roll worthy misquote you’ve seen or been guilty of? Do you have a quote you’re not sure is attributed to the right person or is complete or accurate? I’m sure I’ve butchered many a quote in my time, it would be absurd to think I haven’t. I used to think the Depeche Mode song ‘You’re Own Personal Jesus’ was ‘You Run Faster Than Jesus’, and I happily sang those lyrics loudly until someone told me I was a bit off. While misquoting things can be and is often harmless, it’s something that seems to be be creating problems in the yoga world where questioning content or the authority figure is still yet to be the universal norm. Frankly, many individuals touting a “question all” rhetoric often position themselves in a way where they benefit from other’s being questioned, so long as they questioning isn’t about themselves. False information can also lead to a bad reputation and if done consistently diminished respect. That’s the last thing I want to see perpetuated for the yoga world. Nowadays information is so easily bent to support personal agendas that I think it’s really important that we do our research and take the time to point out misinformation. So what are your misquote moments? #yogaphysics #modernyoga #yogarevolution #yoga101 #yoga #yogateacher #yogapractice #yogaalignment #ytt #yogisofinstagram #functionalyoga #strongyogi #yogagram #igyoga #yogaeducation #yogastudent https://www.instagram.com/p/B14-9YWjMk8/?igshid=4pk8tmb1hw22

#Repost per credit from & the courtesy of @alexandriacrowyoga ・・・ Has speaking the truth ever cost you? Have you endured losses because you spoke up? Have you experienced gains? ... I’ve certainly lost things because I spoke the truth, friends, jobs, and I’m no stranger to harsh criticism and haters. But as rough as that can sound, the alternative would be worse, and in actuality speaking up is more gain than loss. Gain of trust, gain of clarity, gain of being surrounded by other truth speakers, gain of people who love all of you not just the parts that they deem good, gain of work relationships built on a shared clear aim, and so much more. ... The haters will hate and the critics will clap back. They’ll bob and weave, sling mud, and maybe even call you a troll, but in the end none of that matters because those who are able to appreciate the truth being spoken will always see through the critics resistance and spin. ... This post was inspired by a piece by @dailystoic that a friend who is also a brave truth teller shared with me today. ... #yogaphysics #modernyoga #yogaphilosophy #yoga101 #yoga #yogateacher #satya #yogarevolution #yogaphysicsmemes https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz24N6XnG5v/?igshid=1wcgsb0hg083y
