I added a few words to the translation of this poses’s name. It could be called “standing belly on thighs calm the fuck down pose,” but it’s already a mouthful. She’s the first pose of Ashtanga’s foundational series. Look gently at your nose. Calm your nerves with the standing forward bend. Chill out. Bend your…

I’ve been divisive and dismissive of a certain kinda vote. If that was you, I’m sorry i called you a trash human. I hope you come around and understand where the hurt is for me, and folks like me… …and that you want to care more about me and the folks I love the next…
