Some days the pose doesn’t land, it makes you question your own capabilities - your strength, your flexibility and your endurance.

Let me remind you, it is just the day that the pose isn’t landing. It doesn’t mean it will never be possible, it doesn’t mean you have things to work on to get there… sometimes it’s about your mind and stepping out of the thoughts. Saying it’s not for today, and being open to trying again on another day.

Take a look at this pose that I’m in - Flying Lizard. 🦎

I experienced this posture in a class late last year, and no matter what I did during that moment in the class… I couldn’t get into it. My body just said “what?!” As if any part of this posture was unfamiliar to my body.

So… I sighed, and said it’s just not happening today… but I will try again soon…

I circled back to Flying Lizard… just a few days ago…. Was it strange in my body? Yes. Was it challenging to hold? Sure. Was it thrilling that I finally went for it? Hell ya!

That’s the trick. Saying not today but maybe later.

Whether this applies to yoga or some space in your life… let it be what it is.

Some days our experiences or poses just aren’t landing… but in time they will. - just don’t give up.

Some things will take more effort than others, and that’s okay. But knowing the difference between just needing to hit pause and needing to strive for something is important.

Eagle Pose, or Garudāsana, is a powerful yoga posture that challenges your balance, flexibility, and focus. By wrapping your arms and legs around each other, you create a deep stretch in your shoulders, upper back, and legs, while also engaging your core for stability. This pose helps improve your concentration, focus, and coordination, promoting overall body strength.

If you’re just starting with this pose, remember to keep your gaze steady and fix your concentration on a point in front of you. Balance can take time, so don’t rush—start by pressing your palms together and slowly build up your flexibility with each practice.

This pose not only strengthens the body but also has mental benefits, helping you focus while fostering calmness and relaxation. With regular practice, you’ll feel more grounded and centered. 🦅🧘‍♀️

When it comes to releasing tension and increasing flexibility in the shoulders, these stretches are the perfect go-to routine. Whether you're sitting at a desk all day or need relief from tightness, these feel-good shoulder stretches can help. Start by gently lengthening the arms overhead and gradually move through each variation, holding each stretch for 5-10 breaths.

Shoulder stretches not only improve mobility but also relieve stress, ease muscle tension, and improve posture. The key is to take it slow and breathe deeply into each stretch to allow your muscles to fully release.

Which stretch do you feel the most benefit from? Let us know your go-to shoulder stretch! 🌿💆‍♀️

✨ Chapter 33 ✨

What a year it has been. Emotional highs and lows. Lots of learning. Things to be grateful for. The thing about this last year… it opened my eyes… things are not always as they seem.

32 was a year of dismantling, in my opinion. And I know that will only lead to growth for 33.

Sometimes a “set back” is actually a “re-direction” …
Sometimes hitting pause can let you catch up, and let you see the bigger picture.

For this next chapter… I hope I continue to grow… both on and off the mat. That I enjoy the little things in life a little more. That I find excitement… and that I know when and how to say “No” when I need to.

Today, I hope to find myself on a forest trail… kicking off this next year in a way I love… surrounded by nature

If you’ve been in one of my classes in the last year… you’ll know just how much I love the toe squat. 🔥

… and it’s not because of the groans you let out, it’s simply the fiery feeling that starts in the toes… a forgotten spot in our bodies.

Benefits of the toe squat:
• offers a deep stretch for the feet, ankles, calves & hips
• strengthens the lower legs, core & glutes
• improves balance, posture, & spinal mobility
• releases tension
• stimulates energy meridians
• enhances focus

They say the therapeutic benefit is that it can relieve plantar fasciitis, release tight fascia and decompress the spine.

This can be a very intense posture, so go slowly, use deep breaths and ease pressure by leaning forward or cushioning the knees.

🚨 Caution 🚨
Avoid this posture if you have severe neck/back conditions without expert guidance.

If you’ve experienced this in class… what are your feelings towards this posture? Do you love it or hate it, and why?

❄️ Get Out & Go ❄️
Don’t let the snow hold you back from fun activities - like yoga in the snow, hiking, snowshoeing, skiing/snowboarding, skating… or even just a walk around the block.

My goal this winter is to get outside more…
Why? Because it’s healthy… and why should we be limited to only the “nice” seasons?

Find something you enjoy doing in this festive season, and take it into the upcoming new year with you.

I look forward to getting my yoga practice outdoors more; to skating; hiking/snowshoeing; and to getting back into snowboarding.

Don’t let the snow slow you down - get out and do something old or new.

What are your plans for the wintery season?
