Sunrise practice before my class. #shunmukimudra where the gates of perception are closed so that the attention moves inwards. Increase awareness, & stress reduction. Combined with the #brahmaripranayam this a a simple gateway to awareness and mindfulness, despite the craziness around us.
Diwali gift to myself. I’ve skimmed through it and find that Susanna has expressed very eloquently & gently some of the feelings I encountered during my YTT in NY. . I’d recommend this to EVERY yoga teacher out there! The education should never stop, just because you got your certification. . It’s also a must read for all of those self taught ‘yogis’. . Practice the limbs, teach the limbs, live the limbs. #ashtanga .

#Ardhachandrasana Symbolizes the balance between the shifts in the phases of the moon. Although it might seems counter intuitive to look away from the floor in this balance posture, looking straight ahead or up is one little trick to keep balance in ardhachandrasana. Hips are stacked vertically, so move gaze away from the floor! Some fantastic stories associated with this posture. Look them up in Devdutt Patnaik’s book on yoga mythology. There’s reference to transgender normalcy here
Next read! Book #30 since the pandemic. A few were BLM and BIPOC. Some were #sci-fi, my favorite genre, a few books on #magic and the usual smattering of post colonial South Asian authors. . #booknerd #readers #bookstagram #yogiswholovetoread #yogalifestyle #hennaartist #exerciseyourmind #openmind #openheart https://www.instagram.com/p/CIO8wxfDBxZ/?igshid=1dxl4tajsv1rc
That full moon last night #karthikeyapournima, a day to worship #Pitr, dead ancestors. A day of Karthika, the god of war and son of Lord shiva. A day where goddess #Tulsi is worshipped. A day when Krishna dances #rasa with Radha and worships her. The birthday of #matsya an avatar of Shiva. The Diwali of gods. So many stories, all with significance in Yoga. . #beyondasanas #yogalifestyle #indianmythology #yogamythology #epicstories #ancestorveneration #sanatanadharma #wisdom #ancientculture #vedicwisdom #festivalsofindia #devdiwali #yogateacher #notjustasana #honortherootsofyoga https://www.instagram.com/p/CIOUjhVDtDu/?igshid=g4gan9fujf13
Karthikeya Deepam. Lamps to honor Lord Karthikeya. My sister in laws hand drawn #kolam. Also called #rangoli or mandala. It’s drawn from rice flour mixed with water and today on #karthikeyapournima #fullmoon these lamps on the mandala signify warding off evil and ushering in prosperity. . #sacredgeometry #indianart #handdrawnkolam #rangoli #mandala #yogalifestyle #beyindasanas #fromdarknesstolight #fromignorancetoknowledge #honor #rootsofyoga #easternculture https://www.instagram.com/p/CILvlpEjdkm/?igshid=1reas77gbkfw7
I’ve been drawn to #Navasana lately. With the legs straight, the abdominals and hip flexors have to fight against the hamstrings to maintain the posture and balance on the tail bone. Swipe
Nava-asana : boat pose. In Hindu mythology; Manu carried the sacred Vedas, plants, animals and the Seven primal Sages in a boat through the waters of #pralaya and found refuge atop Mount Meru! . There are references of the boat in Ramayana (Lord Rama travels across the river to his exile in the forest). . In the Mahabharata: the fisherwoman satyavati ferries sage Prasara across the river in the boat. . Lord Krishna evokes romance by riding in a boat under the moon. . In the jataka tales that describe the previous life of the Buddha. . Remember to honor while you teach. Yoga is more than asanas. . So many stories, so much fun . #beyondasanas #rootsofyoga #ancientpractice #indianmythology #practicemakesprogress #yogalifestyle #balance #honordontappropriate #yogajourney #storytelling #yogateacher #foreverstudent https://www.instagram.com/p/CII1VtqD5ED/?igshid=1jyvxllcv3iie
Gratitude altar. As an intention, gratitude is powerful. As an attitude, it’s empowering and freeing. My gratitude goes out to the land of the Matinecock tribe, whose ancient home, I now call mine
Rainy day 1 card pull with coffee! How appropriate. #shelter in Sanskrit, #virata. Divinatory meaning: when all paths seem to close, something will open up.
