Adrian Hummell&Amanda Duncan make a pair of dancers natarajasana. This posture takes open shoulders, a flexible upper spine, and a decent amount of balance! Practice slowly and patiently, don’t rush it!

From our shoot with Karen Buchsbaum at Pure Om Bethesda.

Super stoked to announce that Adrian Hummell&Amanda Duncan will be teaching at We Are Yoga’s first ever WAYcation.

Headlining the amazing Gianna Purcell!!

Can’t wait to join you amazing yogis for 4 days of beach, sun, yoga, and fun!!

Happy Saturday Yogis! Adrian Hummell&Amanda Duncan enjoying some iced tea, Yoga Style! Cheers!

Day 13 variation of @cyogalab #backbendnoend #kapotasana variation. I walked it down the wall and did a straight arm camel with knees and feet together. Really focusing on lifting through the chest in this one! I don’t usually practice this, but I think I will more in the future!

Feeling bendy after a fun class with Adrian Hummell at @bikramarlington! Deep backbend, this one took years of practice and also a lot of trust in myself that I could get in (and back out, cause that’s important too )

Happy #humpday! Today is kinda a gross day outside, so this is a old photo for day 17 of #yogagivesbackchallenge. #Camel, #ustrasana, #healer of the #spine, my favorite #asana. It’s challenging and hard, but there’s nothing that feels better. I tend to keep emotions stored inside, but this posture helps me come to terms with some of them. #AmandaDuncanYoga #yogachallenge #YogiAssignment #yoga #bikram #flexible #bendy #backbend #juneyogachallenge #yogaeverydamnday #weamplify #vegan #eatclean #meditate #chakra #love #happy #focus #fitness #paleo #bikramyoga #vinyasa #ashtanga

My favorite part of the dropback is hanging out 2 inches off the ground and finding my breath!

Crane Pose. Still working on getting everything straight, but progress, right?

Today is so nice, I’ve been sitting outside drinking tea and eating strawberries for the last 3 hours! I #love hot weather!

Have you heard about We Amplify?Adrian Hummell and I offer workshops and trainings, and are happy to work with you individually to amplify your postures, practice, and life!!

Flexi Camel! Adrian Hummell for the pic and for coaching me into it!

I’m so grateful for the gorgeous sun today! It is beautiful outside!! What’s something that you are grateful for today? Thank you We Amplify for the photo!

Perfect human teardrop from the side!

Day 18 of #mayyourbackbend is a #dropback into #wheelpose. I love doing this as a warmup for my spine before class! Properly warming up is so important, and I think that is part of the reason that I have been able to steer clear of spine injuries (even though I do some really deep bends, knock on wood!) People ask me how I got my spine to where it is, and all I can say is that I work on it consistently and slowly. I came to yoga in my 20s, and am now more #flexible and #bendy than I was when I was 5!

Day 17 of #mayyourbackbend is #dancer, #natarajasasana. I like dancer, and come to it in a different way than most. I have the shoulder flexibility to achieve this, and also the knowledge and trust in myself that my foot is going to be there when I go to grab it! This is one of my #competition poses that I have done in both of my yoga competition seasons, so it is nice to be able to see the progress in this posture! Thanks Adrian Hummell for the photo!

Ever sat on your head before? Feels kinda fun! First time ever trying this one, I think legs will be straighter and more forward next time! Thanks Adrian Hummell for the photo!

#roadtrip #yoga! This #stopdropandyoga is for you, @adrian_hummell, since I’m a little squished in the back seat. Gotta get out and #stretch! And who doesn’t need a little love!

Fun photoshoot with Adrian Hummell in #nova means new pics in my Teeki skull leggings! Fullwheel time!

#tbt to the Pennsylvania Invitational last year. Just thinking about this this morning, hope we do another one this summer! Love seeing you guys!! With Adrian Hummell!

Day 13 of #mayyourbackbend is #camel, #ustrasana. Find the stillness and point of relaxation in any posture! When you learn how to #breathe and relax, you can find new depth in the posture. Thanks Adrian Hummell for the photo!

#fullcobra pose from last weekend! It’s exciting to have been competing with the same posture for the last year, I can really see my #progress! Now with bun-to-butt

Happy #Saturday! @toronto_yogi tagged me a while ago to #strikeapose, sorry it took me so long!! Time to do some #backbends!! I love how my spine feels in these deep backbends, like #raw #energy crackling up and down!

Happy Friday! Hope your day is going well! Take only good thoughts into the weekend with you!

More photos from the #usayoga semifinals this weekend!! So excited to lock out for the first time on stage in #standingbow!� Really pleased with my progress in this posture!

I am still buzzing from this weekend, and it’s fun to look back on it as a weekend of firsts, like a (literally) unbelievable first trip to the semi-finals! A top-20 finish is more than I ever dreamed of, and I feel unbelievable grateful for the chance to present my practice twice!

I want to thank my coach, friend, and mentor @adrianhummellyoga without whom none of this would have been possible. You continue to inspire me in your own #dedication and focus in your routine, and it was so fun to watch you in the finals! I also want to send a shout out to @elleburk who competed for the first time at #usayoga Nationals this year, and who rocked it! She will certainly be tough competition in the years to come!

Thanks for the #spine adjustment, Adrian Hummell !!! Just hanging out before competition and popping a few bones into place! Thanks for the photo @wearejared ❤� fun #chillin out in the #greenroom

Happy earthday!! Happy camel pose (ustrasana) to celebrate! Spend some time outside and enjoy the sun!

Hanging out in ullcamel with Gloria Suen this past yoga-filled weekend! Learned so much and feel so lucky to be able to spend time with you! See you soon!
