Titthibasana (firefly pose) practice ✨⁣ ⁣ Despite the crazy quarantine times of chaos, upheaval and pandemic some beautiful things were also born. One of my silver linings out this past year was a chance to practice twice a week with my fave teacher, the cream of the crop, and contemporary yoga master @carrieowerko❣️ ⁣ ⁣ 🎉 She launched her online platform The Playground just in time for when the shelter-in-place life began. I loved every class and how much inspiration I get it from her every week. If not for just the super fun and playful, highly intelligent, and very challenging practices but also to soak up any level of her positive attitude on life. A great way to also connect with an online community and we all so appreciated the Q&A discussions after each class. Love how the Playground library keeps growing with rich and exciting practice content. ⁣ ⁣ 🎊 Looking forward to continuing to explore and expand with Carrie’s joy of movement into 2021! ⁣ ⁣ 🤸If you haven’t already joined The Playground I highly recommend it as something for your New Year’s resolution⁣ www.CarrieOwerko.com⁣ ⁣ ✨ Looking forward to better and brighter days ahead. Wishing everyone a safe and happy new year! ⁣ ⁣ 🎧 Music track by @sweatsonklank “What A Night”⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #titthibasana #fireflypose #carrieowerkoinspired #carrieowerkoyoga #permissiontoplay #yogawithprops #playfulyogapractice #armbalance #armbalancepractice #armbalancing #yogizain #sweatsonklank #goodbye2020 #happynewyear2021 https://www.instagram.com/p/CJZxZ_FMD1C/?igshid=9lga69m1qdfa

As my holiday in #Auckland draws to an end, I feel very grateful to my old friends @sloan_south @annabellchartres and their daughter Artemis. I also had a blast teaching at @urbanashramnz for @theralstonmethod to a group of keen and super strong yogis. But I also took the time to be a student again at @theyogacorner, attending classes daily at 6:30am - yes six freaking thirty in the morning when I’m on holiday! Thank you #newzealand for your friendships new and old. • A note on this #armbalance: #ekapadabakasanaii (#halfcrowhalffirefly). Don’t let it fool you, it is actually very very tricky - it requires tonnes of #hipflexibility, wrist flexibility, hamstring flexibility and of course #corestrength. If you have a good #titthibasana AND #ekapadabakasana, I suggest you give it a go ✌🏼 • #meggings by @lululemonhk @lululemonausnz @lululemonmen (at The Yoga Corner)

T I T T I B H A S A N A . The Firefly. The tiny little insect that shines bright in the dark. They create the energy to glow in their lower abdomen. Not unlike our internal flame. The Agni that comes alight in our practice. Our kundalini energy rising. Like our bandhas that lift us to help us fly, in our practice, perhaps in our arm balances. I love the balance this posture represents. The dark the light. To achieve the posture you need equal measures of strength and flexibility. Of grounding and lifting. A balance of yin and yang. Of Ida and pingala . Of shiva and shakti. Femininity and masculinity. We need both. It’s Like a metaphor for life. Just as a firefly, or a star shining bright in the night sky, we shine, glow, radiate energy and light. The reason we can see each other is because light is reflecting off of us. Don’t forget that we are made of the same matter as stars ✨ So much of life has become out of balance right now but to help us keep grounded and lifted, steady, strong and calm as we rise this wave, we can stay with our asana and pranayama practice. Join me every Tuesday at the Yoga Bee 7:30-8:30pm Let’s light up our souls, open our hearts, ground our feet, move with our breath in a magical, serene (and impeccably clean) space. Hope to see you on your mat Sat Nam 🕊 #titthibasana #yogainspiration #balance @the_yogabee @jadeyogaeurope @jadeyogamats @lululemonuk @fabletics https://www.instagram.com/p/CGAJez1DGCc/?igshid=1pse6m87a45wo

I was doing yoga with my cousins kids yesterday. Even the little ones couldn’t get anywhere near this!!! . They didn’t want to have a go at first. But when you roll out that mat they are all in. . Who else finds that with kids! Give them a mat and they are away. . Wearing Lilium yoga pants. . Thanks to @belleyoga.tokyo 💖💚💖 Flight of gratitude and joy ♥️ . . I read today that 14% of American adults say they practiced yoga in the last 12 months,up from around 9% five years ago. The level of people saying they meditate also is around 14%. . . Interesting that the world is waking up to an ancient Indian practice and how it is becoming rather mainstream. (If you exclude very old people and many if not most men, that is a very high percentage of young to middle aged women in the US that ae practicing yoga now) . . I would love to hear from people who started yoga recently and what prompted you to start. . . . My #titthibasana or #fireflypose for #omstarsashtangachallenge. . .

Come avvicinarsi Titthibasana!

Titthibasana, dal sanscrito Tittibha “insetto simile alla Lucciola” e asana posizione comoda (in inglese più semplicemente "Firefly Pose") è una posa piuttosto impegnativa, ma tuttavia estremamente leggera e gioiosa, in grado di far sorridere tutti un pochino di più ed aiutarci a sdrammatizzare le difficoltà della pratica e della vita in generale!! 

Nel dover cercare un modo per bilanciare alla perfezione la giusta e fortissima attivazione dell'addome con l'allungamento delle gambe e l'apertura del bacino é facile infatti perdere in un istante ogni equilibrio e trovarsi con il sedere a terra! Ma va bene così ed è anzi estremamente necessario e propedeutico cadere in posizioni così “basse” come questa!

Una propedeutica più tecnica invece, consiste, come ti mostro nel video di seguito, nell’utilizzare una cintura yoga chiusa a "loop", con una lunghezza di diametro pari a circa 2 volte la larghezza delle nostre spalle. Spingendo con i piedi nella corda, come se volessimo spezzarla, magicamente si riesce a distendere di più le gambe, aprire il bacino ed avere i flessori dell'anca attivi che tengono su in equilibrio!! 

Titthibasana permette soprattutto di: 

tonificare sia la muscolatura addominale che dorso-lombare;

curare eventuali dolori alla schiena;

migliorare l’equilibrio e il nostro coordinamento neuro-motorio;

ridurre eventuali dolori ad articolazioni come spalle e gambe.

Ovviamente è una posizione medio-avanzata da eseguire - anche in una fase propedeutica come quella del video - solo se entriamo già in Malasana senza problemi e se la flessibilità di schiena, gambe e braccia ce lo permettono!! E’ da evitare invece in caso di  problemi ai polsi, alle spalle, agli adduttori, o lesioni all'inguine e in caso di  sciatica o ernie discali. 

Al di là della “perfomance” fisica quello che ci insegna questa posizione é che solo collegandoci alla forza del nostro centro (addome/ manipura chakra), riusciamo ad equilibrare forze contrapposte ed ottenere quella stabilità necessaria per spiccare il volo e splendere di luce propria! 

Buon Titthibasana a tutti!

Namasté!
