Virtual Arm Balance Series, Every Sunday this MAY, 12 PM Central :)

Arm balances have the power to take your practice to new heights, literally. These poses engage the core, shoulders and arms while teaching us focus, trust, patience and resilience. In a vigorous Vinyasa flow practice, it can be difficult for teachers to cue all the nuances of arm balances and often times we just offer options to take them on your own, if you have it in your practice. Well, if its not in your practice and you would like it to be, this is the workshop for you! And, the best part is that you do not have to be a superhero to do them.

This is an all levels workshop where we will begin with a short vinyasa practice focused on building core strength and shoulder stability while also opening up the hips and twists. We will break down the Crow family, Eight Angle Pose, FireFly, Flying Splits and many more.

Variations and drills for each of these poses will be introduced in a safe manner for both the beginner to more advanced practitioner. We will build up from chaturunga up, step by step, as we prepare for flight. This workshop will provide you with tips and tricks to bring to your regular yoga practice in the future.

Last week in lands end I asked a young girl to take a picture of me by the rocks. I warned her It would take me a couple of seconds to situate and she didn’t mind. It was a little uncomfortable asking, but afterwards her and her friends started doing cartwheels and back walkovers and attempting to handstand. Sometimes you just need to see one person let their freak flag fly to get on board, and other times maybe you’re the person that starts It all. I think we all seek permission to just be, and forget to recognize the agency we hold within, anyway happy Saturday!! 💁🏻‍♀️

I haven’t been practicing pressing while traveling, so i decided to improvise with these rocks. Though they were uneven (and I’m on a downward slant), It was fun to try this and test my coordination and balance. I didn’t ever get It completely, but that’s how It goes sometimes. Don’t be discouraged if you don’t get a skill you think you’re capable of the first, second or even hundredth time. I mean, I’ve been practicing handstands for a few years now and still flop over daily. So this is my process, I try over and over and then do it again. One day I imagine this will be effortless and I will stick it. I mean, I better not even need those rocks ! Haha

Tune in TONIGHT to watch my sister on American Ninja Warrior at 8pm/7c on NBC. This is ‘s second time running the course, but first time being aired and let me tell you, she worked so hard and had to overcome some serious obstacles to even be at the Minneapolis qualifiers. I am so proud of you Steen for sharing your story with the world and always encouraging literally any and everyone to attack their potential. Its always an adventure supporting your journey, and usually I’m quietly in the background (like my reflection in the sunglasses here). But this time I’ll probably be looking very nervous or screaming my head off like a crazy person on the sideline too, so this could be extra funny to watch. .

Oh look, it’s Giana doing a yoga pose on a sign ....
I can totally make fun of myself, but i can also teach you how to get into this arm balance. This was the first one I learned how to do, I still think it’s easier than crow (for me). .
HOW TO ASTAVAKRASANA:
1. I recommend starting from sundial pose/ compass.
2. Once you have one leg over the shoulder or as close as possible, release the hands down next to the hips.
3. Play with pressing into the ground and pulling the navel in while trying to lift the butt off the ground.
4. If the Butt lifts, cross the ankles.
5. Chaturunga arms are everything. Bend the arms to 90 degrees and extend the legs out to the side!
6. Everything is activated. Strong legs, arms and core and Wah-La, you’re in right angle pose!! :)
P.S. Chaturunga will help with every arm balance so keep practicing these! And if you’re still working on this just keep trying the Butt lift till one day you surprise yourself :)
P.P.S Ojai is Magnificent!
P.P.P.S. Can we all start using the word titilating more ?

The pain of life is pure salt; no more, no less. The amount of pain in life remains the same, exactly the same. But the amount of bitterness we taste depends on the container we put the pain in. So when you are in pain, the only thing you can do is to enlarge your sense of things.... Stop being a glass. Become a lake.

Ive been on the road since Monday, where I’ve been staying with my sister in her RV. I found this pretty field of dandelions at a truck stop in Minnesota that we randomly woke up at the other day. There was also a pretty awesome nature trail here and I took the dogs on a nice long walk. They’re having so much fun and rolling with the punches, always wagging their tails and excited to see what’s next. That’s how life should be for us humans too, don’t you think? None of us know what’s happening really, sooo why not just get excited for a new day anyway. I really didn’t know where this picture caption was going, but I’ll take it.
Currently: turning my life upside down, wondering what’s next and trying to channel some of that dog-like excitement. 😝
