Day 10 is Sphinx Pose. Picture above is from today 3/10/20 Picture below is from 2/14/15. There’s not much to see here guys...but in five years I can tell you that my understanding of this pose has most certainly developed. In the picture on the bottom I saw this pose as a resting position. Now? I definitely press into my elbows way more and use that weight to drag my chest forward, engaging my thoracic region, & of course engaging the core/legs/tootsies (toes in case you don’t understand my lingo)—add all that up and Sphinx pose is a bit harder then just resting like you’re watching TV. Now I understand it’s a backbend...and you know what they say about backbends!!!! Oh you don’t?! Let me tell you...heightened emotionality sneaks up on the mind. I’ve never taken so long to take a picture of a pose...nothing felt right today. My practice wasn’t as light hearted as it usually is and every time I went to decide on a frame to capture (I record a video then screenshot) nothing really spoke to me :/ ONLY because I was being so critical...even now I feel like I could’ve done a better job with this pose but this is the reality of yoga. You’re not always a happy positive person. You’re not living in only positivity. I say this because a lot of philosophical-brained people who know I’m a yogi have told me “you’re too positive” or “it’s wrong of you to only acknowledge positivity”...well, what I have to say to this is that it is correct to accept the nature of duality HOWEVER when do you think you perform your best physically...also do you think you learn more by wallowing in negativity or is it that when you accept negativity you’re actually being positive—and does that help facilitate productivity? I’ll let you guys think on that. I surrender to the nature of duality and the duality of nature 😝💖💞⭐️💫✨ some days are good some days are bad. We learn regardless. #yogi #yogachallenge #marchyogachallenge #smile #breathe #itsokaynottobeokay #yoginilifestyle #yogini #sphinxpose #practiceandalliscoming https://www.instagram.com/p/B9j8A_QFIC6/?igshid=1eses7lewjshl

🙏🏽Deep stretches to alleviate back pain, from @mintyogini ~ Tag someone who might find this helpful! 💕 . #catcow stretch: from all fours, firmly pressing the palms on the mat, gently arch the back, projecting the chest forward and drawing the shoulder blades towards the spine for cow, then curl the back to look at your navel, push the hips forward and separate the shoulder blades for cat. This dynamic movement stretches and mobilizes the spine. . #downwardfacingdog is a great pose to lengthen and decompress the back. Be sure to prioritize a straight back. You can always bend the knees if your heels don’t touch the mat or if your spine curls in the pose. . #sphinxpose promotes the natura curvature of the lower back, toning the spine and stimulating the sacral arch. Hold for 3-5 minutes and be mindful of the spine as you come out. . #salabhasana is a great way to strengthen the spine, both to relieve existing pain and to prevent future issues. Be sure to engage your body fully, knees straight and feet pointing. Take a few breaths in the pose if possible, and do 3-5 repetitions. . #eyeoftheneedle targets the hips, loosening up any tightness in the area to increase your range of motion. When the hips are tight, our back tends to pick up the extra load. By gaining hip flexibility, you can decrease the pressure on your lower back. Hold both sides for equal amounts of time. . #supinespinaltwist is the perfect way to end this sequence (or any yoga sequence, really!) or to practice on its own to release tension in the lower back and neutralize the spine. Be sure to hold both sides for an equal amount of time, and try to keep both shoulder blades on the ground at all times.

𝐀𝐧𝐲 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 ⁣ ⁣ I bet you heard me say I don’t love backbends so I’m definitely not going to say I crave a backbend however that sure doesn’t mean I don’t NEED them. Because I’m pretty sure the pose we resist the most is the one we need the most. ⁣ ⁣ I have been trying to practice backbends more and also incorporate many more in my classes. ⁣ ⁣ Sphinx pose is actually a gentle backbend, much more beginner than most variations. ⁣ ⁣ What poses do you crave? ⁣ ⁣ #aloboutactsofkindness⁣ ⁣ Hosts:⁣ ⁣ @jenbellyoga @yoginiquely.christine @handstandidaho @yogainthe_barn @leapoffaith_yoga @imlisa ⁣ Sponsors:⁣ ⁣ @aloyoga @alomoves ⁣ ⁣ #sphinxpose #backbends #aloyogachallenge #outdooryogis (at Downtown Chandler) https://www.instagram.com/p/CV-safep-_z/?utm_medium=tumblr

Can't continue to fear backbends! Embrace the fear and just try Sphinx Pose or Bhujangasana . Backbends are a great way to warm the system and increase energy (especially on a cold and very rainy day, ie: today)! They bring flexibility to our central axis of support and strengthen weak back muscles. This one lifts the curve of the spine from lower back upwards to the thoracic area. This pose releases the shoulders and is a lovely stretch for the front of the body. Good to do with the counter pose - Child Pose. #apainfreeback @pilates_fit_monica @pilateswithashlee #babybackbends #sphinxpose #backbends #keepgoing #takingitsteady #yogaposes #yogi #trainsafe #gentleexerxise #lowimpactmovement #trainathome #bodyalignment #bodyconditioning #strengthtraining #corestability #coreworkout #namaste #selfcare #selflove #mymatandme #backexercises #lowerbackworkout #flexibilitytraining https://www.instagram.com/p/B42QCm_jRfI/?igshid=1wowgowd1zmog

#100daysofbackbends2019 81 - yogi's choice I thought I could sneak in a cheeky yoga practice and my body rewarded me with a thumping headache. So enjoy this picture of me doing what I like to call 'giving up' in sphinx pose while I wait for this paracetamol to kick in 🌻 Hosts: @sara_ortlip_pilates @yogawithzaz #backbends #heartopener #yoga #beginner #yogaeveryday #blackgirlyoga #sphinxpose https://www.instagram.com/p/BvUtvooBgvO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=of2csi2iynwu

Ok, a new #yogachallenge for me, and one inspired by @triangle_avocado and his recomendation to read "yogasana - the encyclopaedia of yoga poses" by #yogrishivishvketu. I'm going to get people to pick numbers at random between 1 and 848, then try and replicate the pose looking at it only once then taking the photo. Today it's #774,#cobrapose (elbows on the earth legs lifted). I know this as #sphinxpose but the aim is similar I think. I've got a LONG way to go with my #frontbodystretch, but the leg stretch is pretty close! Plus, I'm also going to try and make my shorts match his as closely as possible....😁 #yoga #yogaeveryday #dailyyoga #dailypractice #nomatrequired #yogainspiration #practiceandalliscoming #backbend #chestopener.
