  • TGIF. First week back at work has been bumpy. I've been trying to transition back from my summer sleep schedule to a semester sleep schedule. Saying it's been rough is putting things mildly.Woke up late today and could only get in 15 minutes of practice to warm up for this pose.Day 9 of #CoreBasic | Elephant's Trunk Pose 🐘 | Eka Hasta Bhujasana with Hosts: @allykborn @coffeeandrainbows and @gaby__om Sponsors: @AloYoga @gomacro
  • In any given yoga session I think I go through at least 10 Chaturangas and I have to be conscious about form in each one.I've always thought Chaturanga appears deceptively easy. Looks like a simple push-up but there are so many things to pay attention to: Elbows above wrists. Belly pulling in. Tailbone drawing towards heels to prevent compression in the back. Gaze focused to prevent compression in the neck And on and on.Its never just a simple push-up and I think this one pose can almost encapsulate the yoga practice for me. It's not beneficial to be on your mat physically but not mentally. Not only can you hurt yourself, but you also prevent yourself from fully experiencing the practice.Day 8 of #CoreBasic | Four-Limbed Staff Pose | Chaturanga Dandasana with Hosts: @allykborn @coffeeandrainbows and @gaby__om Sponsors: @AloYoga @gomacro
  • This pose is always hit or miss for me based on what my hammies feel like doing. It didn't feel too bad today and I was able to straighten that standing leg pretty well.Day 7 of #CoreBasic | Hand-to-Big-Toe Pose | Utthita Hasta Padangustasana with Hosts: @allykborn @coffeeandrainbows and @gaby__om Sponsors: @AloYoga @gomacro
  • Boy, I remember clearly when #crowpose was impossible for me to hold. Over time and with practice I've built up the amount of time I can hold it for.Such an exciting growth process. Now I've been experimenting with straightening my hands - usually ends with a face plant - but I know all is coming with practice.Day 6 of #CoreBasic | Crow Pose | Bakasana with Hosts: @allykborn @coffeeandrainbows and @gaby__om Sponsors: @AloYoga @gomacro
  • Took my eagle upside down today. I've never tried this in a forearm stand before. Felt pretty stable in it, so I started hollowing it out.Held it for about 3 seconds. I think with more focus and attention to my breath I could have held it for longer, but I was rushing out. First day back at work. Summer is over. Sigh.Day 5 of #CoreBasic | Eagle Pose | Garudasana with Hosts: @allykborn @coffeeandrainbows and @gaby__om Sponsors: @AloYoga @gomacro
  • I don't like boat pose... For quite a few reasons:1. I always feel like my back is too close to the floor, probably due to my still developing core strength (lol, first inclination was to say weak core but... Work in progress. Lemme stick to positive self talk)2. My quads and hip flexors are also still developing which is needed for those straight legs.3. My belly always looks squishy in boat pose 😂But I keep practicing it. Like I said yesterday, Practice and all is coming. So I'm not giving up on my boat. I should probably practice it more than I currently do.Day 4 of #CoreBasic | Boat Pose | Navasana with Hosts: @allykborn @coffeeandrainbows and @gaby__om Sponsors: @AloYoga @gomacro
  • I remember when I first started practicing yoga, and I would always wonder how people were able to get their foot flat on the mat in side plank pose. I tried to do it for a while but would always topple over.Then one day a few months ago I was practicing side plank, I just kept lifting my hips and next thing I knew my whole foot was on the mat. It's not magic really, just practice.Practice is also letting go of things your body can't do for now and focusing on the things it CAN do. The foundations are essential for moving deeper. If you're forcing a pose to where it leads to frustration, you're not practicing yoga. Meet your body where it's at and slowly but surely, your body will start doing those things it couldn't before.Practice and all is coming. Patience and all is coming.P.S If you're wondering, yes my hair is purple 😂 see my personal page 👉 @tegaedwin for a clearer picture.Day 3 of #CoreBasic | Side Plank Pose | Vasisthasana with Hosts: @allykborn @coffeeandrainbows and @gaby__om Sponsors: @AloYoga @gomacro
