We all love to hate those Plank poses 😜

Let's take a closer look for some tips!

🌟 Stack your shoulders over your wrists.
🌟 Spread your fingers wide apart and press down firmly through the L shape of your index fingers, palms and thumbs.
🌟 Ensure your index fingers point forward, and that the hands are not turned in.
🌟 Press down hard through the palms so that the upper back puffs up a little bit.
🌟 Isometrically, try to turn your hands outwards (without actually moving the hands), so that the outer armpits and triceps wrap inward, towards the body.
🌟 Draw the tops of the ears towards the ceiling, creating the feeling of a little bit of a double chin so that the head is not hanging off of the spine.
🌟 Press back through the heels AND press forward through the crown of the head.
🌟 The hips will be slightly lower than the shoulders.
Try to maintain the natural curves of the spine – don’t allow the chest to sag, and don’t scoop the tailbone under.

And now, move from your plank to downward dog ➡️



In your downward dog:

💫💫💫 Maintain all of the same actions in the arms as you established in plank. 💫💫💫

🌟 Press the hips up and back towards where the wall meets the ceiling behind you.
🌟 Press the torso towards the thighs without collapsing the chest or inwardly rotating the upper arm bones. Keep the upper back a little bit puffy.
🌟 Position your feet two fists-width apart.
🌟 Pull the inner ankles back and hug the outer ankles in.
The heels do not need to touch the ground!

The priority here is the length of the spine, and moving as much weight off of the arms as possible. You can achieve this by bending the knees. When you slacken the hamstrings, this will give you more space to push the weight back!

Give these poses a try and practice the transition between them. 😁

Join speaker, magician, and author Brandon Love for an interactive masterclass exploring how to see more possibilities in your life, your relationships, and your work. Through magic, storytelling, reflection, and conversation, you’ll discover why recognizing the limits of your own perception isn’t a deficit. It’s a doorway to more.

Using three powerful questions (What am I missing? What do you see? What if?), you’ll learn how to effectively catch and challenge your assumptions, seek and integrate new perspectives, and imagine possibilities beyond what you can currently see. Come ready to get curious, explore a real challenge in your own life, and leave with practical tools for creating new possibilities.

Please bring a notebook.

30 DAYS. 30 CLASSES. OR… YOUR OWN PERSONAL STRETCH GOAL. 🧘‍♀️

Our 30 Day Yoga Challenge is back! And this time, we're more interested in your DEDICATION to your goal than being perfect!

The question isn't “How many classes can I cram into 30 days?”, it's “What am I willing to commit to?”

Maybe 30 classes in 30 days is your challenge.
Maybe it's 15.
Maybe it's 10.
Maybe getting yourself to the mat twice a week is something you've been meaning to prioritize.

Your goal should stretch you—not break you. 🙌

From October 13 – November 11, choose a goal that feels meaningful, challenging and realistic for YOU. Then show up for yourself, one practice at a time 🧘

And there's more than just classes:
✨ Mindful Minutes - online sessions that count towards your goal
✨ Bonus Masterclasses - special skills classes
✨ Weekly Satnams & sharing circles
✨ Community + accountability
✨ A chance to connect with your WHY

For whom and why are you practicing?

Let that question guide you through the 30 days.
