Eka Pada Rajakapotasana
I recently had a student tell me they hate pigeon. What?! If you, too, hate pigeon, here are some tips to make it more accessible. (My student loves it now.🙂)
Getting there- From down dog, kick one leg up to down dog split. Bring the lifted leg forward to place on the mat under your body. HERE'S THE FIRST TRICK! - your heel may be near the opposite wrist, or it may be near the opposite hip. Your knee may be centered between your wrists or it may be near the same side wrist. You are still doing the pose even if your shin isn't parallel to the front of your mat! The important part is keeping your hips square. Most people with less than bendy hips 🙋 will find this pose more pleasant with a block placed under the bent leg hip. Stay on top of the back foot, no external rotation. Press into your hands to find length, then lower your torso down to find ease.

What do you think of Eka Pada Rajakapotasana?

Ridiculous Things Yoga Teachers Say:
Get laid on your mat. (lay down on your mat)
OK- check out my body (watch while I demonstrate)
Use your body as a bright tool of the deepest expression of your heart. (uhm, idk.)
Press your feet into the ground and be thankful. Without it you would plunge to the center of the Earth and be burned by magma. (lol!)
Spread your butt. (rotate your inner thighs back)
Bend your knees and drop your $hi! (chair pose)
If you stick your butt out you will end up hurting.

Feel free to add your own!

We had a great time last night with the ladies at the Mantras and Malas workshop. :D It was a good time of chatting and getting to really know the people I chat with for a minute or two a week. Join us next time!

For anyone considering trying a yoga class but afraid to look stupid, here's a much needed quote... "Like everyone else, I was terrified of a roomful of people who were good at it. Little did I know then that only very occasionally in yoga do you stumble into an entire roomful of people who are good at it. And when you do, they often turn out to be a-holes." - Claire Dederer, from her book Poser.

Body, speech, and mind in perfect oneness
I send my heart along with the sound of this bell
May the hearers awaken from their forgetfulness
And be delivered from sorrow and anxiety.

(insert sound of bell sounding here)
