Warrior ✌🏻 Wednesday . Warrior two pose is the second of three related powerful standing postures that improve strength and flexibility. . In this pose, the legs are placed in a lunge position with the forward knee at a 90 degree angle. The arms stretch out in opposite directions, in alignment with the body, which is facing forward. . As with its companion pose, warrior one, the heels should be in line with each other and the front knee bent at a 90 degree angle. The back foot should also be at a 90 degree angle. Unlike warrior one, however, the torso and hips do not rotate toward the bent leg. Only the head turns to face the arm extended over the bent knee. . Warrior two pose is a deep hip-opening pose. It's particularly beneficial for those with sedentary jobs. . It is also believed to help alleviate or prevent osteoporosis, flat feet, sciatica and infertility (pretty rad 🙌🏻) . This pose may also be referred to by its Sanskrit name, Virabhadrasana B. . . . #warriortwowednesday #virbhadrasana2 #abcsofasana #wanderlust #wanderluststratton2017 #namastewildforever #daisyfaceflow #showmeyourdaisyface #findyourflow #growwiththeflow #wanderwithlove #notallwhowanderarelost #strattonmountain #vermont #bluebirdskies #lushlife #yogaforeveryone #yogaeverydamnday #yogaeverywhere . 📸: @meglh49 🧘🏻‍♀️✨ (at Stratton Mountain, Vermont)

Trikonasana Tuesday 🔺✨ . Trikonasana is a standing yoga posture that requires strength, balance and flexibility. . In this posture, both arms extend with the legs spread apart and one foot turned at a 90-degree angle. . The upper body bends toward the lead foot so that one arm reaches toward, but not necessarily touching, the ground and the other toward the sky. ⛅️ . The term comes from the Sanskrit trikona, meaning “three corners” or “triangle,” and asana, meaning “posture.” . In addition to a range of physical benefits, trikonasana is believed to unblock energy pathways in the body. It is one of the basic poses common to the many styles of yoga. . Trikonasana is commonly referred to as triangle pose in English. . . . #trikonasanatuesday #abcsofasana #bts #photoshoot #danparlantephotography #eastieyoga #anchoredineastie #fabletics #trianglepose #unblockenergy #clearythepathways #calmbeforethestorm #daisyfaceflow #growwiththeflow #findyourflow #showmeyourdaisyface #followtheflow #yogaforeveryone #inclusion #community #love #light #passion #purpose #yogaeverywhere #yogaeverydamnday . 📸: @tinalauria 💛 (at Piers Park Sailing Center)

Malasana Monday 🙏🏻✨ . Malasana is a squatting yoga posture that benefits the hips, lower back and digestive system. Stretching the groin, ankles, back torso—it also stimulates the sacral chakra (Svadhishthana) which governs sexuality. Ooh la la! . To perform this asana, the feet are spread shoulder-width apart and the hands are held in namaskar mudra (prayer pose). The practitioner squats without moving the hands or feet. In more advanced variations, the yogi may stretch out the arms or place them behind the body. . Malasana is also called garland pose in English. . . . #yogaeverydamnday #yogaeverywhere #passportadventures #strikeapose #abcsofasana #tiponeillfederalbldg #probnophotosallowed #rulebreaker #daisyfaceflow #showmeyourdaisyface #followtheflow #growwiththeflow #flowingwithmyomies #daisyfacechase #yogaeverywhere #yogaforeveryone #inclusion #passion #purpose #community #love #light (at Thomas P.
