I know I probably sound like a broken record with my
"I'm learning to slow down my practice posts"
Myth:
you have to
do advanced
asana
to make
progress
in Yoga.

@unrulyascetic
This morning was the first time in four months l've
been able to bind after my shoulder injury.
@michaeljoelhall led a slow progression through the
marichy series. It wasn't forced but slow and
controlled. On Saturday I was able to stack my
shoulders over my wrists for a split second handstand
in @ericabaca202's amazing class. These are the
littlest things but they feel huge. More importantly I'm
truly focused on rebuilding my practice. This morning
I was able to say look at what I'm doing rather than
0mg I can't believe I can't grab my foot in this pose l've
always been able to grab my foot in this pose. I feel
less angry towards my practice but am constantly
reminding myself now that the advanced practice is
the mental part not the asana. The hardest asana isn't
always the most advanced.

Marichyasana A, modeled with a block and a bind.
This pose has a peculiar demand: *major* ankle dorsiflexion. A requisite for this posture is strength and flexibility in the ankle such that the knee can go forward and beyond the toes so as to get the center of mass towards and beyond the center of the foundation.
This can be a struggle for some, as these deeper ankle positions were not commonly taught in yoga rooms for many years, nor was deep squatting common in gym settings.
Thankfully, that has very much changed in the last 5 years.
Finding a position that allows for controlled articulation in the ankle is key for improving controlled articulation in other places... but finding a manageable setup pays dividends that are not so easy to see here.
Forward folding and pressure onto the forehead region is associated with the relaxation response and a great way to bring a feeling of safety into your mind-body organism. Utilizing the parasympathetic nervous system (think: rest & digest), this posture is a great way to support both anatomical and physiological changes that benefit the practitioner. Don’t let this poses stress you out, in other words. Adjust the setup for maximum personal benefit.

Scapular Force Couple

Scapular Force Couple

Prasarita Padottanasana with heel grip. Focusing on posterior tilt of the scapula. I’m using this setup for alleviating alleviating upper crossed syndrome (commonly found in overhead athletes) and rounded shoulders (ashtanga/vinyasa practitioners). Excellent isometric strength training for shoulder posterior tilting, shoulder external rotation, and shoulder depression. Also good for forearm supination and grip strength. Base width and hip flexion can both create variability in shoulder upward/downward (superior/inferior) and spine segmentation. Focus on getting geniohumoral joint in line with elbows (approx 130) via abduction and thorasic segmentation. Application is particularly useful after pec minor stretching.
Found commonly in Bishnu Ghosh style yoga, currently being modeled with head in position to work anterior neck strength in conjunction with posterior scapular tilt and mild thorasic extension to create a well braced neutral upper back and spine.
Posture inspired by @holly.yogs.lightly

A pink triangle has been a symbol for various LGBTQ identities, initially intended as a badge of shame, but later reclaimed as a positive symbol of self-identity.
Passive range holds for hip external rotation and flexion for active strength at end range.

What is pratyahara? It's the skillfulness of being with yourself-- free of a need for outside distraction. Talk about important (especially right now).
It brings with it other awesome skills: focus, resilience, and the ability to make meaningful, intentional choices that you can be confident you had a say in.
It's manageable, attainable, and opens the door for much more.
In this session, we'll work with time-tested sensorsy awareness techniques for the eyes, the ears, and the body-- and learn how to apply what we learn on and off the mat.

Guys... can we talk about words?
I've seen folks claiming that these folks actin' a fool on the capital are being sent by "Antifa. "
Word means things, and I think maybe we need to talk:
"Antifa" means Anti-Fascist-- as in, against Fascism.
Fascism is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and strong regimentation of society and of the economy which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe.
To be Anti Fascist means to be agains totalitarian, ultranationalist government. There are many organizations that are "Anti-Fascist" but there isn't a singular "Antifa" organization.
This is comparable to "Feminist" organizations. There isn't a single Feminist Organzation. Feminism is an ideology.
To be Feminist means that you believe woman are equal to men. To be an "Feminist organization" means that you are an organization in support of women's rights on the basis of the equality of the sexes.
So, to circle this wagon: there are feminist organizations and anti-fascist organizations-- and, like those ideals, there is no central organization.
Here's what I don't get: How have we twisted the idea of being "Anti Fascist" into being a bad thing? Since when is being against a totalitarian government a bad thing?
Could it be that if you are a fascist, you want to convince people that being "anti fascist" is a bad thing?

I've seen folks claiming that these folks actin' a fool on the capital are being sent by "Antifa. "
Word means things, and I think maybe we need to talk:

Over threw last few years, I've managed to miss "Resolution Season," since I'd have been on my yearly practice and reflection sabbatical. As a teacher returning home from sabbatical in March, I would often be filled to the brim with inspiration to share-- and in front of a new audience! The reporte required -- including the desire to find a common nomenclature-- were the building blocks of a working relationship in March... but I think they work in January, too!
Check out some of my tips and tools for understanding Why Yoga Works, and how to help those seeking a resolute resolutions find value in your offergings!

Its that time of year again: resolution season. When you work in spiritual communities, gymnasiums, and/or wellness centers, you can't miss it.
Being aware of it doesn't mean that I've had to engage in it; I've typically been abroad, studying with my teachers during this pivotal time of transformation. I reckon what I've had come across my desk this time of year is more the "run-off"-- how it impacts those in my communities. Over the years, I've been struck by the dichotomy of response: managers and studio owners were thrilled to see rookies and wayward weekend warriors returning, while many yoga teachers themselves found that their progress in creating community was often frustratingly glutted by folks who lacked commitment, thereby "taking away from" the more committed practitioners.
Woof.
It's so easy to see both sides of it, and so easy to look down one's nose at so much associated with this malarky: conflating yoga with "getting fit", the pressure to be anti-fat, and of course all of the other dogwhistles things out there that say "you're not good enough."
I'll say it again: woof. But, it doesn't have to be this way inside of the lab of our own teachings and practices.
