@omniyogagirl on Grip Flipping! 🥰❤️ ・・・ ⭐️ How to Flip Your Grip ⭐️ . SWIPE to see how to use a strap. Please warm up with some shoulder stretches, backbends & hip openers before giving this a go 👍 . #omniyogagirltips 1. Start off in Pigeon Pose 2. Reach back towards the outstretched foot with the palm facing upwards 3. Keep the palm facing up towards the ceiling, & take hold of the outer edge of the back foot 4. Grip the toes or main body of the foot 5. Draw the back foot towards you as you rotate the shoulder & bring the elbow out to the side 6. Continue the rotation, & aim the elbow up towards the ceiling. Think about extending through the spine, lifting the chest & keeping the shoulder blades drawn down the back to create a nice, open bend. . To work towards the full flipped grip, use a strap (as shown on slide 2), & gradually shorten the distance as you increase your flexibility & the rotation needed in the shoulder joint. If you have any questions, please just ask! 👍 . ⭐️ Leggings: @liquidoactive #iwearliquido Use code LAURALIQUIDO for a discount Mat: @liforme #liforme Use code OMNIYG2018 for a discount Gloves: @yogapaws Strap: @infinitystrap ⭐️ . . . . #yoga #yogatutorial https://www.instagram.com/p/BqeVrvSgMt5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=i1sr5dgi47f9

#Repost @omniyogagirl ・・・ ⭐️ #TriYogaSchool ⭐️ This weeks pose is #lotuspose or #padmasana & I’m showing the Ashtanga variation with the right leg in lotus first, & the hands in Chin Mudra (totally feel free to alternate the legs if that’s what you prefer)👩‍🎓 Lotus Pose is called the ‘destroyer of disease’ in the Hatha Yoga Pradipika as it is thought to stimulate many channels in the body. Physically, lotus opens the hips, tones the abdomen, stretches the knees & ankles & aids good posture. 🎓 Lotus Pose Alignment Cues: #omniyogagirltips 1. Place the right leg in lotus first (unless you wish to alternate legs), & the left leg on top 2. Think about bringing your heels towards your belly button 3. The outer edge of the feet sit right in the hip crease, with the soles facing upwards 4. Make sure that the knee joints are completely closed - This protects the joint from twisting 5. Keep the feet flexed & active 6. Draw the knees towards each other making a compact lotus shape 7. Sit up tall, with a long spine, & lift the sternum 8. Move the shoulder blades down the back, & pull the lower belly in back towards the spine 9. The drishti, or gaze, is at the tip of the nose 🎓 Don’t forget to check in with Helen & CeCe for their awesome lessons on Padmasana ⭐️ Leggings: @werkshop #teamwerkshop Mat: @moonchildyogawear ⭐️ 🎓 Your @TriYogaSchool teachers: @helen_garner_yoga @omniyogagirl @cece.carson . . . . #yogateacher #yogaeveryday #letsstartyoga #howtoyoga #yogatutorial #instayoga #yogastretch #learnyoga #yogapose #yogatips #yogaforeveryone #yogaforbeginners #beginneryoga #practicepracticepractice #yogaschool #yogalessons #onebreathatatime #yogaalignment #yogajourney #flexibility #yogapractice #practiceyoga #hipopener #yogaclass

@omniyogagirl ✨ Downward Dog Tutorial ✨ #omniyogagirltips . I was asked to do a breakdown on Downward Dog; particularly on how to engage the shoulders correctly (thanks @tooniesydney 👍). Downward Dog is a surprisingly complex pose, so here are my top tips: . * Shoulders - Should be broad.. Think shoulder blades down & out across the back.... Don't let them scrunch up towards each other... ✨Key tip✨ If you can feel the muscles under your armpit & at side of your torso working (the serratus anterior), then your shoulders are doing the right thing! This really nailed the whole shoulder thing for me! (See the pic where I'm pointing to it!) . * Heels - If you're working towards getting your heels to the floor, bend the knees to maintain good alignment. Also, check how long your stance in Downward Dog is; don't be afraid to walk the feet towards the hands a bit if that makes the pose more comfortable . * Feet - Hip width apart & parallel . . *Hands - There's a really common tendency to lift up the knuckle of the index finger. Keep the weight even across the whole hand... root down that first knuckle & spread those fingers wide. The creases of your wrist should be parallel with the front of you mat . . ✨ Key tips ✨ Keep the lower belly engaged & pulled in. Use your core. Look towards your toes or knees & work towards gazing towards the naval. Keep the neck relaxed. Shift the weight towards your feet & keep your hips high. Set the shoulders using the tips above & then straighten the arms. Pull up with the kneecaps to help with lengthening the hamstrings. At some point, this really does become a resting pose! Promise! 😊 . Let me know what you think! ❤ . . What tutorials would you like to see?

image by 🌉 Setu Bandhasana ↔ Bridge Pose on 👉@yogaalignment . . #yogainversion with @omniyogagirl 👈 ・・・ ✨ Setu Bandhasana Tutorial ✨ #omniyogagirltips ✨ This asana is very good for strengthening the neck. But, please do not try it if you have any existing neck injuries or problems 🙏🏻 . 1. Start lying on your back, with your legs bent at about 45 degrees 2. Push into your elbows & lift your chest, placing the top of your head on the mat as you would in fish pose. Make sure the very top of your head is on the mat & that it's not tilting to either side 3. Push into your feet & hands & lift your hips up off of the mat 4. Straighten your legs & open your chest - keep sending the hips up 5. Take care to make sure the crown of the head is still making contact with the mat. Use your fingertips to keep your balance & to take some of the weight. Keep the core engaged & the legs strong & straight - keep lifting the chest & hips . ✨ Key Tips ✨ If there is any pain in your neck roll back down straight away. It's really important to keep the weight on the centre of the top of the head - NOT towards the front, back or sides. Try & make sure that the weight is being distributed evenly along the arch of your spine by lifting the chest & hips - this will stop you putting too much weight on your head. If you have any questions please ask! Let me know if you give it a try! ❤️ . What tutorials would you like to see? Please let me know in the comments 👍 . .

#Repost @omniyogagirl ・・・ ✨ Flying Lizard Tutorial ✨ #omniyogagirltips ✨ Warm up well before you try this and give special attention to warming up your wrists 🙏🏻 . 1. Begin in a lunge position with your back knee down 2. Snuggle your right arm under your right leg, getting the leg as high up on the arm as you can 3. Place your right hand on the outside of your right foot. Have both palms flat on the mat and shoulder width apart 4. Lean your weight forward and bend your arms as you pick your back knee up 5. Lean forward even more as you bend your arms to a right angle, or 'Chaturanga' position. Pick up your front foot so that the toes point towards your back foot and the heel comes up towards your hips 6. Lift your hips, engage the core strongly and extend through your back leg to fly it and lift it up from the mat. Squeeze your right arm with your front leg, keep the shoulders broad and grip the mat with your fingers to maintain your balance . ✨Key tips✨ To me, the key to getting a strong lift is to really SQUEEZE your arm with your lizard leg - Use the resistance created to help you fly. Think forward, NOT up as you go to lift your back leg. Have your hands slightly domed, so that they're not flat on the mat and keep adjusting with them all the time. And, think about pushing out with the back leg to keep it engaged. Let me know if you give it a try! If you have any questions, please ask! ❤️ . What tutorials would you like to see?

@omniyogagirl on Lotus in Shoulderstand 🦋 ・・・ ✨ Lotus in Shoulderstand or #Pindasana Variation Tutorial ✨ #omniyogagirltips ✨ Ensure your hips well warmed up before you begin... If there are any tutorials you'd like to see, please let me know in the comments 👇 . 1. Begin by lying on your back, with your legs in lotus position 2. Press your hands down onto the mat & use your core to lift yourself up into a lotus shoulderstand. Roll your shoulders under so you get a good base for the pose 3. If you are in a traditional lotus position your right leg will have gone into lotus first, so the right side will probably have a looser gap. Wriggle your right hand through the gap between your left ankle & your right hip 4. You may have to loosen the left side of your lotus, so move the right ankle down your thigh a bit & then wriggle your left hand through the gap between your right ankle & hip 5. Push down on your legs with right hand & use the resistance to push the left arm through as far as you can 6. Repeat on the other side using the left hand to push the right arm through 7. Reach up with both arms & put the hands in prayer position. Firm your shoulders to provide a good base & use your core to really squeeze your lotus in towards your torso - fold yourself inwards to make the pretzel shape . ✨ Key Tips ✨ The balance can be really tricky for this one - especially when you're trying to wriggle into the full pose, & you could end up rolling around like a bowling ball 😂 Keep the core engaged to help with the balance & keep grounding down through your shoulders. Take it slow & keep breathing! Let me know if you give it a try 😊 . . Shorts: @onzie Mat: @liforme . . . . . #yoga #yogatutorial

Love this Side Crow variation from @omniyogagirl 😍 Happy #TutorialTuesday ✌️💜 ・・・ ⭐️ Eagle Side Crow Tutorial ⭐️ #omniyogagirltips ⭐️ 1. Begin from standing, & wrap your eagle legs - If you’re twisting to the right, have your right leg on top, & if you’re twisting to the left, have your left leg on top. It makes for a deeper twist, but you’ll be able to make a more secure connection between your legs & your supporting arm in the balance 2. With the right leg on top, come up on your tip toes & twist your torso to the right, sucking your belly in to make sure you get a deep twist 3. Place both hands on the mat along your right side, shoulder width apart & anchor your top leg on your left tricep 4. Lean forward, bending the arms to make a ‘shelf’ for your legs 5. Lean forward more, & bring your arms to a right angle shape. Grip the mat with your fingers to allow you to find your balance, engage your core & pick your legs up off of the mat 6. Keep your shoulders broad & strong & let them take the weight. Keep adjusting with your hands to maintain your balance, & extend out with the legs to the side ⭐️ Please let me know if you give it a try, or feel free to ask any questions in the comments 🙏🏻 .

Prep 2. * Push into your hands & straighten your arms as you squeeze your knees into your chest; leaving the tops of your feet on the mat. Keep the core strong, & push the mat away with your hands & shoulders . Prep 3. * Engage the core strongly, lean forward more & pick up one foot at a time & hold each side for a few breaths . Prep 4. With props * This is the step that really helped me * Use blocks or parallettes * Use the extra height to help train your muscles for the pick up * Make sure your hands are in line with your knees * Lean forward, engage your core & squeeze everything up * Hold for a count of 5, 3 times everyday for 1-2 weeks * Even if you don't get your feet off the floor - keep squeezing! You'll still build the strength . Lolasana: * Begin in prep 1. * Lean forward, squeeze the core & engage your bandhas (or locks) by pulling up your pelvic floor & pulling your lower belly up & in * Push into your hands & straighten your arms * Pull your knees up towards your chest * Squeeze up with the legs - make yourself as small as possible - in fact, squeeze everything! 😋 * Push down with your shoulders moving them away from your ears * Keep the back rounded & shift your weight forwards so your shoulders come past your wrists * Think forward, not up! .
