#WeAreAnusara - Day 3 - #ThirdPrinciple #ExpandingSpiral #InnerSpiral ... In the legs, Expanding Spiral and Inner Spiral refer to the same action. The rotation of the thighs is related to, but only part of, the spiral. The spiral is smaller near the feet and expands as it climbs up the legs towards the pelvis and into the lower back. You’ll usually hear the spiral cues relating to the thighs, hips, and low back, because that is where the expansion is the greatest. The thighs rotate inwards, hence “Inner Spiral.” And the legs and pelvis broaden or laterally expand apart, hence “Expanding Spiral.” ... Utkatasana (chair pose) is another posture where I find myself focusing on Inner/Expanding Spiral. The tops of my thighs turn in, my inner thighs move back (down towards the ground) and my upper legs, pelvis, and low back widen. Personally, I cannot overdo Inner Spiral. I have to focus on it to maintain it. It does not come easily or naturally in my body. It never has. But that is just me. Some of my students and teacher friends naturally Inner Spiral more easily. They can focus on other actions/principles in their practice. The Principles are Universal because everyone needs to do all of Principles in every pose. However, the level of effort and focus on the different Principles will vary from person to person. Anusara Yoga is NOT “cookie cutter” yoga. Everyone does not need the same thing. We all need the Universal Principles of Alignment, but we all need them in different amounts. ... Setting the Foundation, Muscular Energy, and Outer/Contracting Spiral are easy for me. They happen almost automatically. Open to Grace, Expanding Spiral, and Organic Energy are challenging. I can do them, but those actions do not come easily. I have to consciously manipulate these energies in my practice, more than the others. Which Universal Principles of Alignment are easy for you? And which are more challenging? ...

How I've made it this far in this life is I just kept showing up. It's now at a point where I need a bit more structure still the next steps keep appearing before as needed. Have a bunch of practical work I need to but still follow the signs unfolding from upon high.⁣ ⁣ #Alignment #alignmentmatters #alignmentassociates #alignmentyoga #alignmentbasedyoga #alignments #alignmentbeforeaction #alignmentiskey #alignmentrescue #alignmentcards #alignmentiseverything (at Boulder, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/CALw4uwngov/?igshid=1synt6ma3yfm8

How do I know I'm on the right path? Spirit always shows me very clearly. Been working on creating a bunch of content for my project The P.O.E.M peace on earth movement and the #PeaceFoolMotherLover challenge where you make peace on earth by making a peace sign on the earth. After a year of using a speaker stand as a makeshift tripod I decided I needed to get a real one. Bought one yesterday from Best Buy. Got the one that would suit my needs and when I got home and looked at their symbol it was a peace sign! It's a tripod in the logo but looks exactly like a peace sign.⁣ ⁣ Join The P.O.E.M peace on earth movement to make peace on earth in the #peacefoolmotherlover challenge ⁣ 💖contribute  $1.00 to venmo dank-phart or PayPal dankphart@gmail.com ⁣ 💗33% of every dollar goes to organizations making a positive impact on the planet!⁣ 💗Film yourself making making a peace sign on the earth⁣ 💗challenge your friends!⁣ 💗post on social media using #peacefoolmotherlover⁣ 💗copy and paste this info in description of your post ⁣ ⁣  ⁣ 🌈 congratulations you made peace on earth!⁣ ⁣ For more info check out The P.O.E.M VIDEO link in my bio⁣ ⁣ #synchronicity #Alignment #alignmentmatters #alignmentassociates #alignmentyoga #alignmentbasedyoga #alignments #alignmentbeforeaction #alignmentiskey #alignmentrescue #alignmentcards #AlignmentDawahProject #alignmentiseverything (at Boulder, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_7n6mIH3-z/?igshid=hoq23uw6pg6r
