Feeling fierce in Utthita Parsvakonasana or Side Angle Pose! When this pose pops up in class, some students see it as an opportunity to rest & prop up on the thigh! The shoulder collapses, ribs flare. I usually say, “Oh no this is not the time to hang out as though you’re liming & chatting with friends. No this is the time to be strong, hold yourself up, engage your core & legs muscles! Shoulder locked in place, neck long, ribs in! You should be so deeply connected towards the midline, that you don’t even need that forearm that’s lightly resting on your thigh!” So yeah, no time for faffing (thanks for the word @santosha_yoga_barbados 😜) around; this pose is about being connected yet expansive, grounded yet light & I absolutely love it! * * * #sideangle #standingyogapose #hipopener #uttithaparsvakonasana #yogaoutdoors #yogaatthebeach #beachyoga #beachyogafun #doyogadaily #yogamovesme #yogamoves #yogastrong💪 #yogalove❤️ #yogainthesun #beachyogini #yogapractise #myyogapractise #thankfulgratefulblessed #yogainbarbados #battsrock #yoga246 #jenzenyoga #jenzenwellness #befreebetruebeyou (at Bridgetown, Barbados) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6EOgFCgd8R/?igshid=1rj6lab99z5ee
