Almost everything is relative. What is hard for one person is easy for another. Almost everything is temporary. What is here in this moment may not be here ever again. Seeing the fragility of this life is the seed of so much growth and evolution. Yoga is a quest born out of sincere searching.

The real commitment in yoga is to ourselves. We have to learn to believe in ourselves and our own sense of worthiness. So long as we judge ourselves by outside standards we'll always fail. But as soon as we reframe and refocus our sense of self-worth in the eyes of spirit we'll see that our true worth is inherent and inviolable and it lives in the spirit. The material world is ever changing and impermanent and our bodies live in the material world. But the truth of the spirit is eternal, changeless and permanent. As we commit to taking the practice just into our lives with as little as five minutes a day, we will feel the essential nature of our spirit infusing every moment of our lives, the light will start to shine through in all places the places where we feel the most broken. Happy International Day of Yoga! I will be forever grateful that I have found this beautiful practice! 🙏💙 . . . . . . #yoga #yogi #yogamen #yogadudes #yogalove #yogainspiration #yogaeverydamnday #yogaformen #yogaforlife #boysofyoga #mensyoga #ashtanga #ashtangayoga #ashtangi #sthirabhaga #skandasana #legbehindthehead #internationaldayofyoga #yogamanila #yogaph #yogaphilippines #grammerph #igersmanila #fit #fitspo #pinoygram #feeltheyogahigh #igyoga #instayoga #madaboutyoga (at Ashtanga Yoga Manila) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfEBLAOJKxe/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

In yoga classes, I often see students struggle with the “idea” of a pose. They’ve got the strength, flexibility, and control to safely explore an asana but they have difficulty getting their mind to cooperate. “Balance all my weight in my hands? With my face THAT close to the floor?” “Wheel? Oh, I’ve never been that flexible.” (Most classes, I don’t bother announcing peak poses anymore. Why let students worry all class? 😂) How often do we talk ourselves out of something before we even try? How often do we let the challenges overshadow the possibilities? . . . Yoga isn’t “about” the poses or the glory of making an impressive shape. But the way that we approach such challenges can teach us a lot about how we view other challenges in life. Just a thought...next time your teacher guides you towards hanumanasana 🐒 . . . . #yoga #yogamom #meditation #asana #skandasana #fitmom #balance #flexibility #strength #blackyogis #blackgirlyoga #sistersofyoga #healthyliving #yogisofinstagram #yogapractice #yogalove #practicenotperfection #thesweatlife #yogadaily #yogaeverywhere #optoutside (at Deeply Rooted Wellness + Yoga) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3rrlyDDtBi/?igshid=9a8s9b8b2osj

Day 8 - Skandasana or perhaps known as Ardha Malasana. Side lunge or half yogi squat. . There are so many variations of postures, not because one is more advanced than the other, but because every body is different and each body needs a version of the posture that is suitable for them. We can all be in the same flow at the same time and make it bespoke and unique to our body. Just by taking the variation right for our body in that moment. Working at our edge. . Great for stretching the groin and inner thigh. Helps with tight calves and ankles too. No need to go this low, you can keep the bum as high as knee if it feels better. No need to press the her to the earth, you can keep it lifted. . This is a great posture to open the hips for wide angle poses such as #upavishthakonasana #goddesspose #prasaritapadottanasana . Wearing @yogaleggs ♥️ . Have fun Yoga Bees 🐝 Namaste 🙏🏼 . . .

Lateral Lunge, Side Lunge, Skandasana, but more importantly, look at the big, beautiful log & waterfall (AND the complete view of the waterfall on the next Swipe over)!Hiking my way back down to the bottom of Multnomah Falls, with views of the Columbia river, just magnificent. This place is beautiful beyond words and the colors of fall remind me of back home in England. I do love Cali & the sun & it’s beautiful beaches, but sometimes you need a hit of autumn to remind you that it is indeed November!! Oregon, you were just what this English girl needed!🍁🌲🧣 ❤️🧡💛 #multnomahfalls #multnomah #multnomahfallsoregon #waterfall #fall #autumn #trees #sidelunge #laterallunges #skandasana #yoga #stretch #nature #americathebeautiful #oregon #beavertonoregon #beaverton #fitnessmotivation #fitnessinspiration #fitness #fit #yvonnekellyfitness (at Multnomah Falls - Columbia River Gorge, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4ioUW1DK-v/?igshid=1bohqmkhjssen

Today, as I was driving to @barefootyogashala, the sky was blue and full of sunshine and just gorgeous. But as I turned off the highway, I was smacked with a wall of black, ominous clouds, and my first reaction was, “Oh, something weird is about to happen.” . Class tonight was full of twists and creepy music, and I was shocked when several people remarked on how much they liked the music. Sometimes, weird is good. . #yoga #yogaeverydamnday #skandasana (at Barefoot Yoga Shala) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxLqkdpFIBV/?igshid=vhsf9fdmyinm

Surrender requires faith and it is itself an act of faith. If we do not believe in a power greater and grander than ourselves we might think that we have to bear the weight of the world on our shoulders. We might carry blame and shame around like chains around our hearts. It is so easy to judge every experience as a pass or fail test. When we succeed we feel like a hero, but when we fail we feel like a victim. But faith allows us to see from a totally different perspective, from a Divine perspective. . . . . . #yoga #yogi #yogadudes #yogamen #yogalove #yogainspiration #siargaoisland #yogaforlife #yogaformen #boysofyoga #mensyoga #yogaphilippines #yogaeverywhere #ashtanga #ashtangi #ashtangayoga #sthirabhaga #skandasana #islandlife #legbehindthehead #yogaph #igersmanila #grammerph #fitspo #pinoygram #siargao #igyoga #instayoga #madaboutyoga #advanceda (at Sadhana Siargao) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQQ1iIhHiK0/?utm_medium=tumblr

Open. Being open helps your whole life flow better. Skamdasana Twist opens your whole body. Opening your pelvis helps ignite your creative fire and releases tension in the hips where we hold trauma and relationship issues. It stretches the entire spine, releasing stress and overwhelm. Adding the twist opens the side of the body, and helps realign the spine. Opening your heart space helps you connect to lovingkindness and compassion, first and foremost towards yourself. Join A Yogi Kitchen and Pantry Sunday in the kitchen at @thesunriseproject. It may be an unusual place to practice yoga, but I love it! The kitchen is where my creativity flows. This kitchen is where we gather to practice selfless service, or Seva together. It is where my brain gets the connection it craves and it is where we create community and serve our community. So, it is THE perfect unusual place to practice yoga on the mat. Join us Sundays at 7p in-person AND on Zoom for Community Yoga, an all-level class by donation to help us feed more people. This session we’re practicing on and off the mat, focusing on the word Strong. You can listen to Off The Mat recent episodes to learn all the ways I’ve invited you to breathe into the word Strong.

“When you reach for the stars, you are reaching for the farthest thing out there. When you reach deep into yourself, it is the same thing, but in the opposite direction. If you reach in both directions, you will have spanned the universe.” 💫 ~ Vera Nazarian 💗 . . Tomorrow is Day 2️⃣ of the #Love4Splits #yogachallenge and I am so amazed by the beautiful warrior 3 poses from our participants. Absolutely stunning! 😍 . . The next #asana is #Skandasana or #sidelunge. In the Ashtanga practice, one leg is behind the head and in a forward fold. My outer hips weren’t warmed up enough, and I found it much safer to practice ahimsa in the side lunge. ☺️ . .
