Slide to the left.
Slide to the right.
Then do it all over again.

We don't practice to get better at the poses. We don't practice to get more flexible or strong. We don't practice to compete with our past selves or other students.
We practice like we are taking a walk in the park. We practice to observe. We practice to slow down. We practice to savor this precious life.

So proud of the Ashtanga crew The Roost !
They put in the time and the practice delivers.
They are focused and intentional.
They flow and groove and don't get hung up on the small stuff.
They laugh, share, and cheer one another on.
My heart is so full 💞

Let's practice!
The Roost | Tue | 9am
Bambu Yoga | Wed | 5:30pm

This week, due to Musikfest, all evening classes The Roost are cancelled.
That means Tuesday 9am is the only Ashtanga class this week!

I'm subbing for Tori on Wednesday Bambu Yoga Center in Emmaus, come on over and see their beautiful new space!

I love to call this pose Reverse Triangle, since I use it to create space in the hip before we go into Triangle Pose.
I find it important to focus on the stretch you feel in any particular pose, but also important to think about stretching the muscles that are engaged, or opposite (opposing, antagonist) those you are using to hold you stable while in a pose.

This is where we find stability and the concept of Sthira and Sukha: effort and ease. Search your body to find a balance between these and you'll not only create stability, you'll find a deeper meaning to your practice than just trying to get better at the postures!

Want to practice with me live M/W/F at 7:30am? Or have access to the videos to practice at your leisure? I've added a new $5 level on Patreon! Try it out, 7 days free, then join up at the level that works for you:)

Where is the yoga?
Is it here in the studio?
Is it in your living room?
In your mind?
In your breath?
In your gaze?
In the pause between the thoughts?

It's everywhere you allow it in.
It's in the community you are a part of.
It's in the solitude you create for yourself.
It's in your actions, your presence, the way you move through the world.

'Practice becomes firmly grounded when well attended to for a long time, without break and in all earnestness' - Yoga Sutra 1.14
