Be kinder to yourself so that you can be kinder towards others. Be gentle with yourself so that you can be more gentle with others. Make friends with yourself so that you can be a good friend to someone else. Forgive yourself so that you can one day forgive the whole world. Every day, every breath here in India is so precious. Only two weeks left and I am going practice with all my heart and soul. Keep practicing 🙏 Practice with me online @omstarsofficial Photo @ifilmyoga #yoga #yogi #mysoreyoga #yogamysore #indiayoga #yogaindia #kinoyoga #ashtanga #ashtangayoga #ashtangi #ekapadasirsasana #legbehindthehead #omstars 💕 (at Mysore, Karnataka) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmT1Crrv-wR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

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=

Twisting Thursday. Modified parsva dandasana or twisted leg behind the head arm balance. As some of you may know, especially those who have experienced and sustained an injury, a yoga practice isn’t a straight line. Lately, I have experienced some tightness and discomfort in parts of my body that I think, by practicing yoga, they should be more relaxed and flexible, such as my right hip, my right hamstrings. And these have hindered some poses that were previously more accessible to me like a split, pyramid, or straight leg bird of paradise. Maybe I pushed too hard. Maybe my form and alignment were repeated improperly overtime. Maybe I didn’t strengthen those muscles and joints enough. Maybe my practice wasn’t on a regular routine due to my recent traveling schedules. Maybe it’s a combination of some or all of the above. Who knows. What happens now with my body is a good reminder though that a practice can be a twist and turn. But thankfully yoga isn’t just a physical practice. So hopefully even with a setback, I can continue my yoga practice and my body will recuperate and be ready for the challenges in the physical aspect of yoga in the near future. 🤞🏻 I still have more JM Vinyasa hours to complete! 😅 📸: @sfreneenyc . . . . . #legbehindthehead #armbalance #yogaanywhere #yogamen #yogabody #yogalife #yogastrong #yogafun #yogapractice #yogaposes #yogafit #yogajourney #yogafam #wearehumans #โยคะ #โยคะฟิต #ฉันรักโยคะ #สุขภาพ #โยคะวันละนิด @yogaloveflow @menatyoga (at Tribecca, Manhattan) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2mf498nnWo/?igshid=5s3f21c39i5x

❤❤La palabra "amor" puede tener dos significados absolutamente diferentes; no sólo diferentes, sino diametralmente opuestos. Un significado, es el amor como relación de pareja; el otro es el amor como un estado del ser. En el momento en que el amor se vuelve una relación de pareja, se convierte en esclavitud, porque hay expectativas, hay exigencias y hay frustraciones, y un esfuerzo de ambos lados para dominar. Se convierte en una lucha por el poder.... .... el amor como un estado del ser es una palabra totalmente diferente. Significa que tú simplemente amas; no estás estableciendo una relación de pareja. Tu amor es como la fragancia de una flor. No crea una relación; no te pide que seas de una forma determinada, que te comportes de cierta manera, que actúes de cierta forma. No exige nada. Simplemente comparte. Y en este compartir, tampoco existe el deseo de recibir una recompensa. El mismo compartir es la recompensa. Cuando el amor se convierte para ti en una fragancia, tiene una tremenda belleza y posee algo que está muy por encima de la mal llamada humanidad. Tiene algo de divino... . #FelizNocheFamilia #VamosPorCosasGrandes #SiempreEnMiCorazon #SinLímites #feetbehindhead #legbehindthehead #frontbend #ногазаголовой #yogacolombia #yogamedellin #yogamotivacion #yogainspiracion #yogacoach #yogateacher #yogalife #yogalover #yogaeveryday #yogaeverydamnday #yogaeverywhere #yogadaily #beagoddes #hathayoga #ashtangayoga @namaste.tv @contort91 @aloyoga @revistafisico (en Planeta Marte)

We all start somewhere . The bottom left was my starting point. Don't get discouraged trying to reach your goals. #transformationtuesday !! I am so proud of my #progress with my #legbehindthehead or #ekapadasirsasana . . Wow! A lot has changed in three years. I finally feel comfortable supporting my leg behind me without a strap or my hand!! . I remember how hard it was for me to keep my leg there using my hand to hold it in place and lift my other leg. . I still have more work ahead. . This is why I love to practice daily. . 😸 I am happy to get this far. .................... Remember! Never give up. Just be patient. Listen and work with your body. "To benefit from our daily journey. We must be willing to always try. If it won't happen today. There is always tomorrow🙏💙 https://www.instagram.com/p/BnmmRT1ljyv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=nvhyheau17jj

Here’s one for when you first wake up. 🤣 . Isn’t Jenny amazing! . Thanks to @jennyg2bfit 😍 🚢 🙂👣 . . Our last day of #bikiniyogababes2 😢. It’s been such an incredible experience to connect with so many of you this past week. On our last day it’s yogi’s choice. 🤩 I knew I needed to include at least one leg behind the head variation during our challenge and decided a boat pose would be the best choice. I have been working on this one and it’s finally getting easier. . . Please check in with my 👙 🔥 co-hosts for their last day choices. . . Hosts @jennyg2bfit (that’s me... Jenny ⬆️) .

It’s so amazing how far we can go - physically and mentally - if we stop telling ourselves we can’t. . I had a few students today who told me all the things that they couldn’t do. At the ends of the class, after reminding them to set all the expectations and internal dialogues aside throughout class, they did it! Trust me, I don’t have any special powers as a teacher. It was all about them finding their own truth from within. The ability was already there, they just needed to tune into it. . Next time you notice that voice inside you tell you you can’t, just respectfully let it pass and focus back on the effort. You may surprise yourself. . Happy Sunday! . . . . . #practiceyogachangeyourworld #yogapractice #onebreathatatime #yogameditation #yogaeveryblessedday #yogaeverydamnday #yogalove #yogalife #legbehindthehead #legsbehindhead #yogidandasana #yogapose #yogainspiration #yogalessonsarelifelessons #liveyouryoga #hipopener #yoga #yogisofinstagram #igyoga

We are all in our own processes of transition, release and surrender, yet in the midst of such intensity there is a reflection of hope amidst a sea of doubt and disbelief. We will see in the world what we have cultivated within ourselves. Yoga teaches us to have faith in our own ability to change and grow, to know and evolve our own values and literally to become the change we want to see in the world. Accordingly what change we can believe in is a direct reflection of our own strength and grace. . . . . . . #yoga #yogi #yogamen #yogadudes #yogalove #yogainspiration #yogaeverydamnday #yogaforlife #yogaformen #mensyoga #boysofyoga #yogaph #yogamanila #yogaphilippines #igersmanila #intermediateseries #ashtanga #ashtangi #ashtangayoga #yoganidrasana #change #grammerph #pinoygram #fit #fitspo #legbehindthehead #madaboutyoga #igyoga #instayoga #yogaeverywhere (at Ashtanga Yoga Manila) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgPPuWWv4CF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Day 12 of #ayearofyoga2018 #yogachallenge is Eka Pada Sirsasana or #legbehindthehead Pose in the #Ashtanga Intermediate Series. 🕉 When I first attempted this #asana I kept toppling over and my leg was too stubborn to stay in place. 🤣 Then I saw the fabulous #yogatutorial by @kinoyoga and learned that developing strong upper shoulders is a big factor in keeping everything in place. Aha! 💡 Most of the time one hip is more open than the other, so #practice is the key word here. 😁🧘🏻‍♀️🙏🏻💞🌿☕️ . .

#Repost @emma.rhiannon ・・・ 📞💖📢 Day 2️⃣7️⃣ modification for #WallCall with @cyogalab ➡️ #EkaPadaSirsasana variation or #LegBehindTheHead and #baddhakonasana 📢💖📞 This variation is an intermediate step for sure. I prefer to get the first leg behind the head laying down. Taking several breaths to get that leg back there. Next, I use the free leg to help rock myself to seated, and holding on to the food behind my head with the opposite hand, I scoot to the wall. It's pretty funny to watch 😂 From here, I like to spend a few breaths with my back at the wall trying to lengthen out the back, while using my arm against my thigh to get deeper into the pose. When I'm confident that the leg isn't going to slide out, I shift my weight back onto my tailbone slightly, leaning more into the wall, to free up the other leg, drawing the foot to my chest. This is quite a process, so please take your time on this one! We've got one more day, can you believe it?! (at Yoga Spot)

🤸‍♀️📿🎉Day 1️⃣2️⃣ of #AYearOfYoga2017 ➡️ #EkaPadaSirsasana or #Legbehindthehead 🎉📿🤸🏻‍♀️Another #hipopener, like yesterday’s, only this one requires more external hip rotation and maybe (a bit) less hamstring flexibility. #AYearOfYoga can make a big difference, snap a pic today and keep going down your yoga path! I need to try starting from lying down to keep my back straight!
