Is there anyone else for whom I would #stopdropandkapo than @subtle.bliss? Unlikely. 😁 #kapotasana #backbend #intermediateseries #ashtanga #kapo #igyogafam #yogaswag

#ashtanga doesn't contain affirmations, gratitude practices, or selfless service. It's just postures, one by one. Where's the insight, where's the personal growth? As you are confronted with a new posture, each is a puzzle to solve. And sooner or later, your shit will come up. You will learn about your tight hip rotators, but also your impatience, or hollow ambition, or insecurity as the posture will expose to you all the obstacles: physical, emotional, and otherwise. And working with them bit by bit is in fact the main part of solving the puzzle. The asana shapes of the body are legion, but the shape of the mind is singular: spacious and clear, allowing all patterns to arise and pass away. #kapotasana #ekapadakapotasana #backbend #ashtangayoga #ashtangavinyasa #advancedb #fourthseries #yogaeverydamnday

Great workshop weekend with @day1yoga at @tapasyogashala. What a blast for @subtle.bliss and I and our #ashtanga community. 90% humidity, 100% ashtanga. Let's do it again soon 😁 #ashtangayoga #ashtangavinyasa #yogaeverydamnday #badass #thewarden

#tbt to for #gandabherudasana in Ubud, #Bali last summer with Matthew Sweeney. I've been studying with Matthew annually since 2009 and his take on the #ashtanga system is unique and fresh. And there isn't a better yoga "technician" around. Thanks for being my teacher 🙏 #ashtangayoga #ashtangavinyasa #yogaretreat #yogabum #namaste #backbend #locust #salabhasana #viparitasalabhasana #advanceda #thirdseries #adjustment #igyogafamily #yogaeverydamnday (at Ubud Bali Indonesia)

Really like this version of #kapotasana. It's the #ashtanga Kapotasana B with the hand on the heels. Feels a bit like #padangusthadhanurasana except pushing instead of pulling with the arms. Couldn't quite get them fully extended today but the feeling is huge. #backbend #namaste #yogabum #igyogafamily #hollowback #ustrasana #ashtangayoga #ashtangavinyasa #yogaeverydamnday (at tapas yoga shala)

Working into some of the more #advanced #backbending toward the end of #lionsequence. The #flexibility of the #hips and #spine are directly related...and #wow putting them both together is really something! #padmasana #kapotasana #urdhvadhanurasana #ustrasana #backbend #backbends #yoga #yogabum #igyogafamily #practicedaily #yogaeverydamnday #vinyasakrama #simhakrama #matthewsweeney (at tapas yoga shala)

Toward #kandasana or is it #kandapidasana? For years I thought #baddhakonasana would be the death of me, but as @day1yoga says sometimes the pose you hate is the one you need. It's the #ashtanga method: #practicedaily doing your best with the postures as given and see what happens. #yogaeverydamnday #igyogafamily #flexihips #cobbler #ashtangamakesyouhumble #tangentapp
