Week 3 of my #tutorialtuesday series Spring Cleanse, demonstrating yogic detox/cleansing practices.
If you are interested in this technique , please watch my pervious intro to the practice where I discuss the contraindications and risk factors for this practice. Safety first!
_
One thing I noticed this time was seeing all the asana preparation in action. Im not a yoga proselytizer that says "the practice" must be more than poses. Each practitioner must understand their motivations, intentions and expectations. However, on a very simple level, I see how all those daily body puzzles enabled me to undertake this cleanse: from the simple act of twisting without resistance in my back to having the mental fortitute to sit with the discomfort of being literally up to my neck in water. It is a process of unfolding the 1000 petals of possibilities.

If you are interested in these techniques as well as expanding your practice and knowledge of yoga, pleaze join me in Oct at Kaizen in Busan for my 200hr teacher training. Early bird tuition ends April 30, 2021. (link in bio)

#yogateachers : your students need more options than child's pose!
_
Not only is putting students' weight on their neck when their curve isn't ready uncomfortable, it can be dangerous.
_
There are so many benefits to the #ashtanga #closingsequence . However, as my teacher Dheesan Sudhakar says, "Practice doesn't make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect." By breaking from the "pose and prey method" of forcing shapes that aren't ready, we can:
1. Get more benefits from appropriate postures by being able to sustain and breath in them!
2. Preview the posture
3. Empowers the student to fully participate rather than feeling outages because they can't do "it" and are left waiting for the other students to finish. (That's not a short amount of time.)
_
I hope these are helpful in your teaching arsenal in making your classes more adaptive and inclusive. We are #bettertogether !
More tips like these every #tutorialtuesday !

Sometimes the right tools make all the difference. This mat is the only place I can manage the #jumpback without blocks.
_
This is my 2nd Yoga Design Lab travel mat and it's damn near perfect:
1. Fold up like a towel and weighs only 1kg.
2. It has both a solid grip for your hands and the microfiber suede is key for practicing pushing feet's back and pulling feet through smoothly.
3. The mat we need for corona-life: you can actually clean it. Just throw it in the washing machine.
4. The prints are STUNNING. I fell in love with my practice all over again when this oasis of beautiful space was there to receive me.

Calling all #ashtangaaddict s:
How to rebuild your back 2/3:
I swapped out these postures instead of bhujapidasana and supta/kurmasana.
I was practicing this with active pain- sometimes it takes full tension to make way for full relaxation.

confessions of an Ashtanga practitioner: I got injured. How I put it back together and how you can too!
"Even cowgirls get the blues." That is to say, even teachers get injuries. I talk about working through it on my story.
