#bindingposes

[theworldaccordingtocha]

Another day of posing and it's becoming increasingly clear how much flexibility I've lost. Especially when it comes to spine flexibility, twisting and bowing is so much more of a struggle. Anywho, this is also my first time really messing around with compass variations, and it was ambitious to say the least 😂 #heckinstiffy #allthisback #doesntwanttomove #stubbyclunkyyogastuffs #oakparkstretchiness #yugajourneytocompass #twistedcompass #alogrowjune #bindingposes #yogaformskimmedmilk https://www.instagram.com/p/CQMdTYdpDxU/?utm_medium=tumblr

When people ask me what I’m doing here, I have to stop for a second and then try to say with as much pride as possible “I’m teaching yoga”. Feels so odd to say it out loud. It only ever existed in my head prior to this... #manifestyourdreamsintoreality #grateful . Happy Sunday IGers! . . . Day 6 of #FallForAshtanga is a #bindingpose - I’ve loved binds even when I was younger. I just like the idea of wrapping myself up and bringing everything to a full circle, felt like I was giving myself a big hug. . This pose (Ardha Baddha Padmottanasana) in the Primary Series is my fav binding pose because: 1. it’s the first bind, with many more to come. 2. it signals that I’m done with Utthita Hasta Padangusthasana (my nemesis pose!) 😛 .

The trick is to bring ease in every pose and seek comfort in the discomfort. This is also true with life. Being completely out of my comfort zone for the past week and over the next few weeks comes with its own set of struggles. But just like yoga, I’m trying to breathe through it. #yogalessonsarelifelessons . . . Day 5 of #FallForAshtanga is a #twistingpose This is probably one of the most ‘uncomfortable’ twists but I love how #MarichyasanaD makes my insides feel. Twists are detoxifying, but nothing feels as detoxifying as this pose. I can literally feel it’s effects as soon as I release. Anyone else feel that? (Or am I just a big #yoganerd? 🤓) .

Taking a step back doesn’t have to equate to failure. Maybe we took the step forward too quick, and we’re simply taking a step back to absorb some of the lessons we previously missed out on. #practiceahimsa . . . Day 4 of #FallForAshtanga is a #seatedpose - to be honest, I love them all. Something about being close to the ground calms me. But this tortoise pose is my favourite. Like literally building a shell for myself to hide into. It feels like a homecoming (maybe it’s because I’m an introvert..?) .
