I’ve been at school working on my thesis everyday this spring break…. sometimes you just gotta take a break and doing some yoga ;) it’s 11pm on a Saturday night so the classrooms pretty much empty. ps it’s really hard to smile for the camera and do this pose at the same time

“

What you eat today has to …
…make your heart beat tomorrow and create new blood, renew your bone marrow, fuel your brain, ease your mind, make your lungs work, support your immune system, heal your skin (including that tattoo you had done yesterday), keep your digestive system working smoothly, lubricate your joints, repair and build your muscles, ………

What will you eat to do all that?

I have some very exciting news to share…

I have been asked to be an ambassador model for Lululemon!! I have been keeping this to myself for the last week and today, I wanted to share my excitement with all of my readers.

I love Lululemon Athletica, not only is their gear is amazing, I love their grassroots approach to building communities in cities, and admire them for all of their charitable work and the devotion and attention that they give to the international yoga community.

Check out there website below:

Lululemon

Not only will I be shooting with them in swanky gear tomorrow, I have also been asked to be a speaker on Nutrition and will be announcing these dates and times soon, so stay tuned!

There’s a lot of things you can do to toughen up your wheel/backbending practice!

From wheel ….

1. Do this pic.

2. Walk your feet to the midline of your body and straighten your legs. Your chest should push closer to the back of the room.

3. Do wheel pushups. Bend the elbows and touch your forehead to the mat then straighten the arms again.

4. Drop your elbows to the mat. (You might want some help here. Have someone hold onto your hips or just be ready to roll onto the side and fall?).

5. Walk your feet a little closer to the hands and see if you can point one foot towards your hands (like lift the foot off the mat to do this) and then see if you can touch that shin to the mat (essentially knee to mat). Then come back up to wheel and try the other one. If you get both knees to the mat, I’ve seen people kind of “roll” up to camel.

6. Walk your feet a little closer to the hands and hop up into a handstand then to down dog.

7. I remember someone submitted a fun wheel pose where they turned around clockwise on the mat where their hands were where their feet were and the feet were where the hands were. Then they rotated around counter clockwise. Challenges the perception and awareness! And is challenging for the body too.

ETC ETC! Fun transitions.

Wheel itself is difficult. … So watch your ego. Never do a yoga pose that is beyond your capabilities! If you’re fine in supported bridge pose … that’s COOOOOLLL TOOOOO

kissmyasana:

I would like to share…that I am fucking fantastic at arm balances. Like…give me an arm balance and I flourish. I love it.

But give me anything where my legs have to go past 90 degrees….nope. not happening. I get frustrated. angry. lose my breathing. obviously something I need to work through. but my inability to splits is a major challenge in my practice. hopefully one day. but it’s honestly one of those things that I wonder If I will ever be able to achieve this. even if I practiced everyday…I think that perhaps this is something my body will not do. Which is okay. My body can do whatever it wants. It is now up to my mind to either accept this…or continue to fight against my body just to become an aesthetically pleasing yogi.

In one of my classes yesterday, a woman beside me had a foot injury. Our instructor told her to take it easy to which she replied, “oh don’t worry, I’m here for my mind”. I borrowed her intention for my practice and had a great class :)

Great post!
