The Extended Side Angle is a powerful yoga pose that works wonders for improving flexibility, balance, and strength. By bending the front knee and extending the top arm overhead, you’ll feel a deep stretch along your side body and spine. This dynamic pose not only helps to tone the legs and core, but it also opens up the chest and hips, promoting a greater sense of mobility.

This posture is perfect for enhancing your endurance and focus, helping you stay grounded while reaching for new levels of flexibility and strength. As you deepen the bend in the knee, focus on engaging your core and reaching your top arm toward the sky to open the chest fully. Over time, you’ll notice improved posture and balance as well as a reduction in tightness in the hips and shoulders.

Incorporate this pose into your regular practice to build stability and increase spinal flexibility. It’s an excellent pose to use in a flow, allowing you to feel a sense of progress and strength with each breath. 🌿💪

Mid-South, stay SAFE… Yoga is more than the poses. Especially during an ice storm.

Honor all the ways we practice on and off the mat.

Ways to practice yoga without the poses:
• Breathwork (Pranayama): Slow, steady breaths to calm the nervous system
• Mindfulness: Notice the stillness, the quiet, the pause the storm gives us
• Meditation: Sit, lie down, or cozy up.. presence is the practice
• Ahimsa (Non-harm): Rest your body, cancel plans, move gently
• Svadhyaya (Self-study): Journal, reflect, check in with your spirit
• Seva: Call a loved one, check on a neighbor, offer kindness
• Rest: Yes.. rest is yoga too

Yoga meets us exactly where we are.
Today, it meets us indoors, wrapped in blankets, choosing safety and softness.

If you don’t have to get out, please don’t 🤎🧘🏾‍♀️

Stay warm & stay safe.

Garland Pose, or Malasana, is an excellent squat variation that targets the hips, lower back, and ankles. However, proper alignment is key to getting the most out of this stretch. In the correct alignment, you should have a long neck, an open chest, and the lower back extended. Ensure that your heels are firmly grounded, and your knees are aligned with your hips for stability.

When you slump or collapse in this pose, you risk straining the lower back and limiting the effectiveness of the stretch. By focusing on an engaged core, relaxed shoulders, and an extended spine, you can make this pose more effective and comfortable. This posture builds strength in the legs and opens up the hips, improving overall flexibility.

Integrating Malasana into your practice can help open up the lower body, improve mobility in the hips, and promote relaxation. With consistent attention to form, this pose becomes an excellent way to enhance flexibility and reduce tightness in the lower body. 🌱✨
