#Repost @resilient_yoga • • • • • • ⁣Day 1️⃣ of the UnleashYourYogaGoddess challenge!⁣⁣⁣ ⁣ Today’s Pose: Frog Pose⁣ ⁣ For today we are to choose a name we feel reflects our inner goddess’s personality. ⁣⁣⁣ The name I choose is Elpis. In Greek mythology Elpis was the personified spirit of hope.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣ In the Greek myth of Pandora’s box, Pandora herself was actually seen as a punishment to humankind because Prometheus, stole fire from the gods and gave its secret to humanity. So, the gods created Pandora and gave her a bunch of “gifts” placed in a jar. Pandora opened the jar and the “gifts” were unleashed on the world. These “gifts” led mainly to misery and deceit therefore, taking human beings out of an idyllic past and into an uncertain future. However, the connection to hope is that the only one of the gifts that didn’t escape the jar was Elpis or hope. Elpis hung on and did not escape before the lid was replaced.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣ This story can be interpreted in many ways but I interpret this to mean that the jar is a metaphor for the human body and the story teaches us that though we cannot always control what happens on the outside, we can still have hope contained inside. For me, no matter what struggles I have faced, deep down hope still remains and it’s this hope that fuels me to never give up and keep striving for better days and it is hope I aim to spread to others.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣ Hosts⁣⁣ @krystal_tantricyogi⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ @openheartscanunite⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ @jamiemarie_yoga⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ @iamstevana⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ @yogicbynature⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣ Sponsors⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ @krystal_tantricyogi⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ @openheartscanunite⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ @namasteasfuck⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ @wadebryant_⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ @kirbanu⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣ #frogpose #wallyoga #frogposevariation #mandukasana #yogachallenge #yogaoffthemat #igyoga #igyogis #yogaeverywhere #yogainspiration #iloveyoga #yogagirls #yogatribe #myyogajourney #practiceandalliscoming #unleashyouryogagoddess https://www.instagram.com/p/B_Nclzejred/?igshid=1m8nplcqsaj1i
