📅 Yoga Tip Tuesday
🔥 Warrior I Done Right = Power + Protection

Let’s break it down, alignment-style:

🦶 Feet: Front foot points straight ahead, back foot turns in about 45°. Heel-to-heel or slightly wider stance = more stability.

🦵 Hips: Square those babies to the front of your mat. It might feel like you're twisting—you're not. You're leveling up.

🧘‍♀️ Pelvis: Scoop your bum. Tuck the tailbone just enough to avoid dumping into your low back.

💪 Arms: Lift like you mean it. Shoulders relax, biceps by ears, fingers active—not spaghetti.

👀 Gaze: Straight ahead or slightly up. No neck crankin'.

✨ Why it matters: Warrior I is strong, but if you're out of alignment, it’s your knees and low back that pay the price. Good form = long-term power.

You’re not just standing there—you’re claiming space.

We rush past so much.
That lamp in the corner.
The weird crinkle in the paper.
The way your shoulder actually feels when you breathe into it.

But mindfulness?
It’s not always about clearing your mind or finding your Zen.
Sometimes, it’s just about noticing what’s already there—more deeply than you ever have before.

🧘‍♀️ Today’s invitation:
Pick one thing.
A leaf. A toe. A glass of water.
Zoom in.
Study the shape, the feel, the color, the texture.
Let it teach you something—about attention, about presence, about being alive.

✨ The more we tune in to the little details, the more beauty starts to show up. Not because it wasn't there before… but because we finally stopped to look.

"Viśokā vā jyotiṣmatī"
Or, focus on the inner light that is beyond sorrow.

You already have a light inside you. It’s steady.
It doesn’t flicker when life gets messy.
It doesn’t dim when you feel off track.
It’s just… there. Waiting to be seen.

🧘‍♀️ The Sutras remind us: When we feel disconnected, low, or overwhelmed, one of the most powerful practices is to return to that light—that part of you untouched by the noise.

Try this today:
Find a quiet spot.
Close your eyes.
Breathe.
Imagine that light inside you—warm, steady, real.
Let it grow until it fills you up and spills into the world around you.

That’s beauty. That’s presence. That’s yoga.

“Wherever you see greatness, beauty, or power...
know that it springs from a spark of the Divine.”
— Bhagavad Gita 10.41

That sunset that made you pause?
That song that hit you in the chest?
That person who moves through the world with fierce kindness?

👀 Don’t brush it off. That’s not just luck or coincidence.
That’s Divine energy, showing off.

The Gita reminds us: when we recognize beauty or strength in the world, we’re also seeing a glimpse of the sacred—including the beauty within ourselves.

This week, don’t just notice the good stuff—honor it.
Let it remind you who you are and what you're part of.

"Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy."
– Anne Frank

It’s easy to get caught up in what’s not working. The mess, the noise, the plans that didn’t go as planned.

But pause.
Take a breath.
Look around.

🌸 There’s beauty in the way the light hits your mat.
🌤️ In the sky doing whatever it wants.
🧘 In your body showing up, even when your mind is tired.

You don’t have to ignore the hard stuff—just don’t forget the good.

Let this be your practice today:
✨ Notice what’s beautiful.
✨ Let it be enough.
✨ Smile, even just a little.

Hello yogis! Starting next week, on August 4th, Yoga AF is excited to offer Weekly Wind-Down Yoga!
Life’s a lot. This class is your permission slip to slow the hell down. Weekly Wind-Down Yoga is a gentle, beginner-friendly practice designed to help you release the tension you didn’t even realize you were holding. Expect slow movement, longer holds, deep breathing, and moments of quiet that actually feel good. No fancy poses. No pressure. Just a cozy container to ground, soften, and reset—so you can begin your week feeling more like yourself.
I look forward to meeting on our mats to release the Monday Blues...

🧘‍♀️ Yoga Tip Tuesday: Your Chaturanga Might Be a Little...Sus

Let’s talk about that halfway-down push-up thing we keep doing in vinyasa.
Yeah, Chaturanga Dandasana. The pose you love to hate.

And listen—we see you dropping it like it’s hot. But your shoulders don’t need to suffer for the sake of flow.

🔥 Here's how to clean it up:

✔️ Start in a strong plank (wrists under shoulders, core turned on)
✔️ Hug your elbows in—no chicken wings
✔️ Lower just until your elbows are at a 90° angle
✔️ Shoulders stay in line with or above elbows
✔️ Keep your hips level (no belly flops, please)

💥 Not quite there yet? Drop your knees and own it.
It’s still Chaturanga—it’s just smart.

👉 The goal isn't to suffer through it. The goal is to build strength without wrecking your shoulders.

Your body listens to your mind — and your mind listens right back.

When you’re stressed, your body tightens up.
When you’re calm, your body softens.

✨ But here’s the magic:
You can flip the script.
Soften your body → calm your mind.

One of the simplest (and sneakiest) tools?
👉 Smile.

Even a small, fake-it-till-you-make-it grin sends a signal:
Hey brain, we’re okay.

Try it right now. Just smile.
See what shifts.
