Day 22 of #letsgetflexyin2015 is laghuvajrasana but I'm not quite ready for that so I worked on strengthening my quads and opening my back with "pigeon droppings". I just started practicing these a few months ago and already feel so much stronger. @kinoyoga @aloyoga @beachyogagirl

Day 20 of #letsgetflexyin2015 is upavista konasana or seated wide legged forward fold. Really enjoyed hot yoga after freezing my buns off all week! @kinoyoga @aloyoga @beachyogagirl

Day 19 of #letsgetflexyin2015 is locust pose. I love the hands interlaces behind the back variation, helps me open the chest more. Nice warming pose for a cold, cold day! @kinoyoga @beachyogagirl @aloyoga

Day 18 of #letsgetflexyin2015 is scorpion handstand. Very cool to realize my handstand practice has gotten strong enough to be able to just hang out upside down and slowly work on engaging and transitioning to another shape. Even though my feet don't touch my head and it isn't "Instagram perfect" I feel so strong and empowered and full of life- that's what my practice gave me today. Thanks, yoga, for always making me feel like a million bucks :) @kinoyoga @beachyogagirl @aloyoga

I get by with a little help from my friends 😉 day 16 of #letsgetflexyin2015 is bow pose, taking advantage of having a partner to play with on a snow day! Bow is always better with an assist. @kinoyoga @beachyogagirl @aloyoga

Finally figured out how to flip my grip thanks to @yogaglo @amyippoliti so excited to play with a whole new set of poses! #practiceandalliscoming

Day 13 of #letsgetflexyin2015 is kapinjalasana or partridge pose. Using a strap to create more space since my shoulder is too tight to hold my foot when I flip the grip. Also using the wall for balance support. I'm all about using props and modifications as stepping stones. Little by little my practice has taken me deeper and deeper. All those "impossible" poses are coming within reach. Practice consistently and you'll be blown away by the miracles you can achieve. I never practice this pose, so it was a fun challenge. Lots of falling! Lots of laughing! Keep it fresh yogis! @kinoyoga @beachyogagirl @aloyoga

Day 12 of #letsgetflexyin2015 is hanumanasana or splits. Using blocks for support to help ease my hip flexors into opening. This is a super challenging pose for me, guess that means I should work on it more often :) @kinoyoga @beachyogagirl @aloyoga

Day 11 of #letsgetflexyin2015 is digasana or warrior 3, using a chair for support here. These awesome ladies looked so fierce and strong during class today that I had to ask them to pose for my Instagram challenge. @kinoyoga @beachyogagirl @aloyoga

And day 9 #letsgetflexyin2015 tortoise pose (kurmasana) @kinoyoga @aloyoga @beachyogagirl

Make up for day 8 of #letsgetflexyin2015 was yantrasana since I did eka pada sirsasana last week instead of sundial. I'm a mess! Good news is after a long day of travel we escapes the boston blizzard and it was 70 and sunny when we got home to nc! @kinoyoga @beachyogagirl @aloyoga

Up dog or urdhva mukha svanasana for #letsgetflexyin2015 @kinoyoga @aloyoga @beachyogagirl

Day 6 of #letsgetflexyin2015 is prasarita padottanasana c. Feels good to open up the shoulders. Practicing in a cozy little attic in snowy boston- wonderful start to the day. Time to bundle up and conquer the world! @kinoyoga @aloyoga @beachyogagirl

And day 5 #letsgetflexyin2015 krounchasana (heron pose) modified to keep my left knee happy :)
