105F’ers Elliott, John, Kiley, Kelsey, Kara, and Leah enjoyed a special Monday night out supporting fellow 105F’er (& bestie!), Sarah Spain! 🥳

When Sarah's not crushing it in our Inferno Hot Pilates classes 🔥, she’s out there winning Emmy, Gracie, and Peabody awards 🏆 for her stellar work in sports journalism -- and hosting 'Good Game with Sarah Spain', the first-ever daily women’s sports podcast on iHeartRadio. No big deal.

Sarah just released her debut book, 'Runs in the Family' -- an incredible story of football, fatherhood, and belonging -- and we had the joy of cheering her on at her book launch at Volumes Bookcafe, our awesome neighbors just around the corner from 105F Wicker Park. 📚

We’re so proud of you, Sarah! 💛 Go grab her book -- it’s a must-read.

Check out these pointers and tips to help improve your alignment and form in Standing Bow Pulling Pose (Dandayamana Dhanurasana) -- one of the most dynamic postures in the 26+2 hot yoga series! 💫

Standing Bow is both a backbend and a twist -- requiring strength, flexibility, balance, and total focus. The magic happens when the kicking and stretching are equal (50/50) the entire posture. That tension will create balance. That balance will create stability.

This posture boosts circulation to the heart🫀and lungs 🫁, increases spinal elasticity 🤸‍♂️, builds patience, determination, and concentration 💪, and helps to relieve lower back pain 🙌.

A couple key tips:
✔️ Keep your kicking leg knee behind your kicking leg hip -- don't let it stick out to the side.
✔️ Don’t change your grip on your foot -- that steady tension is what keeps you connected and will help create more space and expansion in your body.

Now show us your Standing Bow! Take a pic 📸 and tag us! We'd love to cheer you on!
