Day1yoga

Day1yoga Found of the Day1Yoga Method. It was then that she began to schedule around her yoga practice, and her life of late nights and unhealthy habits did a 180.

Drawn to the elusive peacefulness and glow that so many yoga practitioners seemed to have, while connecting with yogic philosophy, Day Christensen took up the practice of yoga in 2004. Starting out, she took classes that fit her schedule, but quickly became drawn to the Mysore style practice of Ashtanga yoga, where students were taught in a relatively silent room with one on one instruction. There, in this environment, she recognized that the student’s potential for growth superseded what she had experienced in other styles of yoga that utilized the more typical “guided” method of teaching. After immersing herself in Ashtanga and the Mysore method, taking trips to Mysore, India to study where the practice was born within the lineage of those who created it, on her third trip to India, Day was given the blessing to teach as an Authorized Level 2 teacher. However, shortly after that time, suffering from persistent back pain, Day found that the system with its hierarchy of postures and repetitive movements could actually be more harmful than helpful. Through the process and years of learning to heal and recover from back pain, Day finally was able to break free of the cookie cutter method of giving all students the same sequences of postures meant to be learned and repeated 6 days a week, sometimes for years and years on end with no variation in asanas or movement patterns. With this new perspective due to her own pain caused by repetitive movement, she recognized that the system of learning yoga asanas can be improved: groups of asanas should be given according to each student’s current and developing postural needs. “The how” being the Mysore Method of one on one instruction where each person in the room is able to work according to their own needs, ability, and pace, was and is the most effective way to learn and grow. But “the what” of specific series and order of postures MUST be re-assessed. Thus, The DAY1YOGA Method was born: A tailored and customizable practice, minus posture- or series-hierarchy, (zero delineation between “advanced” and “beginner” students), just students, people with issues, all there for the healing and strengthening modality that yoga should be.

An ode to spring and St. Patrick, Patron Saint of Ireland, which is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. 💚
There are over 50 types of clover, but don’t we love the ones with heart shaped leaves the best?
The four-leaf clover is very rare with a probability of finding one is at a ratio of 1:100,000.
The four-leaf clover is caused by a mutation from the three-leaf mostly caused by environmental or genetic reasons.
There are 5 leaf clovers, and if you have ever happened upon a 4 leaf, take a look around to see if it was just a 5 leaf that went missing a leaf from wind or under foot.
Back to handstands shortly. ☘️

2 MOST IMPORTANT THINGS FOR HANDSTAND SKILLS: 🤸🏻🤸🏽🤸🏻‍♀️🤸🏻‍♂️
1. SHOULDER STABILITY:
This should be obvious, and a fairly simple concept, but as we know: Simple doesn’t mean easy.
What’s involved in shoulder stability? Well… a few things.
A. Shoulder Strength:
Which is to say, a development of musculature in and around the shoulders.
Even more importantly, is an awareness of the muscles that move the shoulder joints. Yes joints, plural: the shoulder is made up of 4 joints, though most commonly refers to the glenohumeral joint, which happens to be one of the most mobile joints in your entire body. In the case of handstanding or Handbalancing, it is important to stabilize, rather than mobilize your shoulders. After all, you wouldn’t want your shoulders moving all around when you are trying to stand on your hands.
2. In the case of skills and skill development, having incredibly flexible or lengthened hamstrings will help immensely. You can have tight hamstrings, of course, and still stand on your hands, but as far as skills go, you will limit yourself to bent leg (tuck) entries and exits, and you will have to compensate for lack of hamstrings length with even more shoulder strength. So… with all of that, I say this with a grain of salt, because most people will injure themselves in the name of flexibility, and that is certainly not worth it.
It is important to understand the agonist/antagonist relationship of muscle pairs and learn to “stretch” safely by actually engaging the opposite muscle, in this case the quadriceps. Most people think they do this but I can tell you from two decades of experience, traveling the world, and working with 10s of 1000s of people, that about 90-95% are not actually engaging their quads when they forward bend. It shall not go unmentioned that enough hamstring length is needed to be able to move towards an anterior pelvic tilt on both entry and exit.
There are about 20 different tangents that can be deeper explored from these two points alone, but the biggest one is an understanding of Tonic/Phasic muscle groups. With it you can develop a deeper awareness/understanding of what and how your body operates. Dm me HANDSTAND

Felt like this was worth a repost…

But some people would rather practice yoga for 90min and make no strength gains… 😱
