#monnthursbackbend

[michellerosado]

Happy Monday! 😍 It’s #yogisstretchmonday once again and I join @t_om_ma_h, @adam_earthdominion and @arcierojoe in this Urdhva Dhanurasana or #wheelpose variant on the firearms and tiptoes at the @lululemonnyc Fifth Avenue window. 🏙 I’m practicing to bring my hands closer to my feet, and just like anything it will take some time. ☺️This is also my #monnthursbackbend with @jeminajakin 😍🕉💗🗽🌿🧘🏻‍♀️ . .

If something feels challenging or emotional on the mat, it's often an indication that you need to spend more time on it. Learn to breathe through theses challenges moments while keeping the mind calm - that's when the beauty of yoga reveals itself. #yogalessonsarelifelessons .

Repost from @theselfloveguru using @RepostRegramApp - Sphinxin'...This photo is reminiscent of a trip to Brooklyn a few years ago to witness the sugar sphinx at the Dominoes factory. I wanted to go and was prepared to go alone but he loved me and he wanted to be with me...for me (that was some great sex that night). I wasn't prepared for the heaviness of images sculpted from the product that has spurned and bellowed hand in hand with the slave trade. The smell of defunct machinery and caramel. Damned sure wasn't prepared for the mammoth presence of the sphinx...the symbol so many of us with chapters of our African lineage ripped from us now grasp as our own...we need these tangible anchors to feel close. Yet this has always felt elusive which was most likely by wicked design. How fucking dope to be on the mat minding my business and out of no where to see in me: my business...my Nubian royalty plain as day. It's a sweet feeling like when you finally get as tall as your mother. Grown. And growing and the outgrowth or manifestation of a connection undeterred by chains, continents, histories untold and blasted nostrils. I'm queenin up in this bitch. It's a new day. #nubian #original #sphinx #cobrapose #queen #sugarfactory #sugarsphinx #sugarmama #brownsugar #yogaeverydamnday #monnthursbackbend #blackyogasuperstars #yogamom #diaspora #caribbean #bajan #african #blackwomen #selfloveguru #womanism #selflove #womanish #brooklyn #love @theselfloveguru #writer#him

Day 1 of the #LettheWheelsTurn #yogachallenge is Urdhva Dhanurasana or #wheelpose. 🎡 My shoulders are sooo sore from my workout last night that I had to really try to stay up for more than a minute.

Day 1 of the #HeartFullofSun #yogachallenge is a standing #backbend, so I chose the preparatory pose variant for humble warrior. As you inhale, bring your shoulders away from your ears and allow the chest to open. Keep breathing, being mindful that your front knee is stacked over the ankle to protect the knee joint. If there's any tension in the neck, feel free to keep your head upright as well. ☺️🕉💓🙏🏻☕️🗽🌇🌿 . . ☀️ Sunny Hosts @ina.yoga @z_khawaja @omniyogagirl @do.with.love . ❤️ Loving Sponsors @niyama_sports @yogisurprise @yogapaws @myyogawheels @binduwheel @shaktiyogawheelbyjess @mymantraactive @mymalanecklace @mettadali . . . . #yoga #asana #humblewarrior #warrior #yogini #ashtangi #photooftheday #instayoga #yogaeverydamnday #yogalove #yogalife #monnthursbackbend #igyoga #nyc #nycyoga #nycyogateacher #vegan #vegangirl #vegansofig #vegansofnyc #whatveganslooklike #humansofnewyork (at New York, New York)

Happy Monday, my extraordinary loves!! 🌞 It #stretchtime and I once again join the #yogisstretchmonday tribe with @t_om_ma_h, @adam_earthdominion, and @arcierojoe in Kapotasana or #pigeonpose in the #Ashtanga Intermediate Series. Practicing #asana on the grass, especially in Central Park was both a freeing and uneasy experience. 😁 Adorable kids were running by my mat, onlookers were standing around... it was chaos! 😅 In the Yoga and meditation method however, it is important to understand the stillness that rests deep inside in order to have a Buddha mind. 😌 This is also my #monnthursbackbend with my beautiful @jeminajakin 😍🗽🌆🧘🏻‍♀️🌿 . .

It’s #yogisstretchmonday with @t_om_ma_h @adam_earthdominion and @arcierojoe! 😇 Today I share Urdhva Dhanurasana or #wheelpose from last Friday’s #photoshoot with Wric @esmalkin at @lululemonnyc. It’s also my #monnthursbackbend with @jeminajakin. 😘 Not feeling that great today and doing any stretching is work in itself, but I’m getting through it. 😌🕉🗽🏙🧘🏻‍♀️🌿 . . . . . . #yogateacher #ashtangi #vegan #vegansofig #whatveganslooklike #yogalife #yogisofinstagram #lululemon #yogi #yogapractice #yogaeverydamnday #yogainspiration #yogalove #ashtangayoga #yogacommunity #yogawithmikaila #urdhvadhanurasana #nyc #nycyoga #flexibility #yoga #ashtanga (at lululemon)

Tuesday is Day 3️⃣ of the #OpenHeartsforAhimsa #yogachallenge and I am so amazed by your inspiring posts! There is so much awareness coming through the gallery and I am so touched! 🙇🏻‍♀️ . . We are now onto Camatkarasana or #wildthingpose, an #asana that opens the entire body. Instead of extending my reach outward I wanted a deeper #backbend, so I kept my legs closer to the body to engage the glutes and upper arms. 😁 . . Ahimsa means light to giving of oneself to others, therefore creating abundance in all aspects of life. 💗 . . Please be sure to see the variations of my co-hosts and let’s support each other in this gentle path. 💜 Speaking Of which, this is my #stopanddropyoga #sdy for my beautiful Sostee @gailfitness and my #monnthursbackbend with @jeminajakin 😘 . .

Day 5 of the #opensesame #yogachallenge is a Padmasana or #lotuspose and Ustrasana or #camelpose variant. 😶 Even after practicing a full backbending sequence this morning this was as far as I could reach. Whew! 😅 This is also my #monnthursbackbend with my beautiful Sis @jeminajakin 🕉🧘🏻‍♀️🙏🏻🗽🌿 . .

Day 7 and final day of the #flexybodyyogis #yogachallenge and it’s #yogischoice. 😁 I have not come into Urdhva Dhanurasana aka #wheelpose on my forearms in a while, and it felt SOOO good to stretch out that spine! 😅 It’s also my #monnthursbackbend with my stunning @jeminajakin 😘 . .

Day 2 of the #yogasutram #yogachallenge is Camatkarasana or #wildthing pose. The journey to come into this #asana from a #subtlebody perspective has been a long but beautiful one. Trust was broken, then mended. This led to a deeper understanding of how I was closed up for so long. Open heart, open mind. 😊🗽💕🕉☕️🙏🏻🧘🏻‍♀️🌿 .
