Every time I'm on the Atlantic I think of strange fruit. Word to frank and shawn we can't take the same routes. Acro play time on the beach with wonderful people. @onhermat @yogamarleya. So structural. So silhouetted. . . 📸: @fitnesscareer . . . . . . .

Structures, Statues & Scapulas. The asana/pose is an opportunity to blend in with the environmental architecture and leave the body behind in a sense. Free to explore the surrounding energies. Listening and watching. Introspect. (at Venice Canal Historic District)

In #updog play with keeping the heart open and pulling forward while moving only the neck to bring the chin closer to or further from the chest. Lately I've been enjoying the un-pictured variation of the chin close to the chest. To me it symbolizes basing one's intellect within and upon their compassion.

#asanawithtemitope #StandingSplit - #urdvhaprasaritaekapadasana Start in a #forwardfold. Bring your feet close together to form a “single bigfoot”. Let your knees bend enough for you to engage your leg muscles and allow the fingers or palms to securely touch the floor. Keeping your left leg, glute, hip, groin and foot secure, lift and extend the right leg long behind you to any height. Lift the right leg as high as you like, engaging the right butt muscle and stretching the left hamstring. Keep your neck and face relaxed. Perhaps gaze at the lifted toes and point them towards the floor, or rotate them outward to the right. Optionally wrap one or both hands around the standing ankle or calf to coax yourself into a deeper fold if it suits you. Use mindful breath to explore the strength and stretch of both legs. Repeat on the other side.

#TwistedTriangle #parivrttatrikonasana Start in a forward fold. Step your right foot back, optionally staying up on the ball of the right foot or laying it flat to the mat, you can bend your front knee to help you get into position. With both feet securely on the mat start to activate the strength in both legs to move them towards a straight position. Energetically pull the thighs together and lift the chest parallel to the floor, extending your spine and crown of the head forward. Holding on to that spinal length place yoru right hand under your right shoulder and start to turn your chest to face the left. Extend your left hand and arm up and away from the right hand. Some active lines of energy to focus on are: the legs, the spine and the arms. Breathe to bathe the pose in awareness.
