is a foundational capability of the — allowing for skill and precision in action with a restful, relaxed quality of ease and grace. It comes with effort, acceptance and presence in the process.
is one such posture allowing for a restful ease - but only after you’ve gotten both of your legs securely positioned, ankles crossed, below the base of the neck.
It’s the most delightful back and shoulder stretch with the hands clasped at the low back, offering a moment of graceful respite in the midst of the world spinning too fast.
Finding in the process of this posture includes toning the entire torso, to include spinal stability as well as optimal organ function, shoulder opening, hip mobility and a greater access to back strength, of course, over time.
Learn your process for poses like this and many more! Class today 1pm, tomorrow at 6:30pm, Friday at 1pm and Saturday at 10am 😘

Moving with to the end of the Series 3 is a testament to a well-rounded dedicated practice. The stability of the core to hip connection, the turning and softening of all the leg joints, the strengthening and opening of the front and back of the and the to keep the steadiness of energy flowing...this is 🙏🏼
Yes. It cranks you, it stirs you. It cracks you open, ready or not. It gives you what you need while softening all your wants. And over time, it quiets your mind and opens your heart

A peek into our Blue Ridge, GA life...2019...
It is decidedly so that our bodies were made to practice, eat, practice, sleep, contemplate, eat, sit in hot tubs and practice and eat some more... and maybe nothing more...?
Thanks to Ken & Christina for providing us the perfect space and nourishment to expand our capacities into new realms of clarity and balance💖

This move was where my journey and began, around 2012 or so. The round of the upper back and the shoulder structure shown here this morning, thousands of handstands later, has recently reached a near status of at this point.
You see the power structure of the back here, as well as the obvious openness in the hips and mobility in the low back, but the power of holding the hip flex in the front (aka flipping over into backbend power prevention 😂) is the initial float power. Lifting into wide-legged handstand is like a wide-legged over high push-up arms.
Sending the legs up into full uses the stability of the arms 💪🏼 and hip flex control as well as the strength of the legs - outer and inner, to bring them together. Have patience...grace comes through dedicated With Intention🙏🏼

Spirituality is a process that we participate in through dedication and devotion, and human relationships are the most advanced form of this path.

It’s modifiable for anyone with a willingness to 🦋 Just like anything else, it’s and the act of balancing that creates this delicate yet superhero posture. It is said that for the one who masters it, she can swallow poison and be unaffected

Turn the hands backwards to warm up the wrists, grip the fingers into the mat and push down to warm up. Then elbows to the gut, lift the heart, tip toe forward until you find and as high as you can hold.

It’s never superhuman strength. It’s almost always just the sweet mixture of , , a and a

It’s just showing up, day after day after day, with a intention to find and depth at the cellular level. Not because it’s easy or hard, not because it’s good or bad, not because you have to or someone else is holding you accountable to some arbitrary goal; just because the commitment and development of it over time leads to much more than a — it leads to 💖🙏🏼🦋

Yoga Sutra 1.20: for all others (who have not yet found high states of samadhi), cultivate faith and conviction in the path, memory and strength to deepen the path and discernment and wisdom to continue on.

Though we humans often fail to see the magic when it’s right in front of us, sticking with one long-term daily practice will help us to have the eyes to recognize the magic within and to continue to spread its joy to every cell of our bodies 💖
