#SummerFunYoga Day 6

#SUMMERFUNYOGA CHALLENGE. Day 6 is #Forarmstand / #Pincha / #PinchaMayurasana. Oooh one of my personal favorites! Great from strengthening your shoulders, back, and core. If this pose is not in your practice - play with dolphin pose ( downdog with forearms down to the earth ). Walk your feet in as far forward as you can, lift your right leg up into the sky, come up onto that left big toe, and only if you are comfortable here - give me a couple tiny / controlled hops! Do the same for your left side! If you're unsure of where to catch your balance - ask for some assistance via Paul the Wall or a friendly spotter! Keep your forearms and hands separated shoulders width distance apart. Keep grounding your forearms, palms, and fingers into the earth. Take your gaze forward and pull your chest through. And as always, have fun. Yoga is so much more than just the asana. Keep practicing and all will come!

#SummerFunYoga Day 5

#SUMMERFUNYOGA CHALLENGE. Day 5 is #ReversePlank / #Purvottanasana. All my Ashtangi's out there can I can I hell yeah??!! Haha I feel like this posture is the single most skipped posture in Primary Series. I think because it can be uncomfortable - we "lose it" in the sequence. Strengthens your hip adductors and abductors, lower back, and of course your hip flexors. Two options for this pose when it comes to your legs. To modify - plant your feet in front of you about hips width distance apart to set yourself up for reverse table top. To challenge yourself - extend your legs out in front of you, side by side, point those toes to the earth, and internally rotate your thighs. When you place your hands behind you make sure all ten fingers are spread wide, ground through your fingertips and palms. Roll your shoulder head back, lift your heart, and ONLY if you are comfortable here - hips lift up towards the sky. ️️HELPFUL TIP - doing this in the pool makes your body weigh half your actual weight so doing the full expression is so much easier haha ️️.
