#Twisted Warrior

#wednesdaywarrior3 hosted by me for fun and practice, which will give you a lifetime of Warrior balance. Think about that🤔💪🏼💙😊❤️Happy Wednesday 😃!

I love going upside down -it’s a powerful shift in energy & perspective - it’s empowering for me. You don’t have to be able to stand on your head or hands -just hang upside down for a few breaths…you can even do it in a chair. When you start to get carried away by “stuff” - give it a go. And let me know how it goes💗 #yogaforlife #upsidedown #createashift

Being upside down is a humbling experience. I had a blast trying and it was easily one of the funest yoga classes with everyone laughing as they tumbled.

🏹 So if some days you’re in your feels, that means on other days, you’re ready to GO! The Warrior Poses remind us that in life, we have everyday battles…but we have to remember this fierce warrior who lives inside of us! Warrior 1: arrive to battle! Our hips face forward, our front leg is bent with our knee over our ankle. Back leg is straight, and your foot can be wherever feels good in order to keep those hips facing forward. Warrior 2: we prepare to launch into action! Our stance might be wider than Warrior 1, our front knee is still bent over our ankle, back leg is still straight, BUT our hips are open to the side (they are not facing front anymore). Exalted (Reverse) Warrior: we inhale in preparation! Our legs and hips stay the same as Warrior 2, however we arch our back, one hand rests on our back leg while the other rises to the sky. Humbled Warrior: we bow to our opponent (fear, pride, ego…) as if to say “I acknowledge you, but I am going to win.” Our legs and hips remain the same as Warrior 2 and Exalted Warrior , and we clasp our hands together behind our backs. We bring our chests down over our front leg or maybe even next to our leg if we need/want more space. Warrior 3: we LAUNCH! It’s go time, and we put the weight in our front leg as we bend forward, chest becoming parallel to the earth and back leg rising. It’s fun to flow through these Warrior poses and hold them for 5-6 breaths…they are incredible strengthening exercises for your legs and core…and also your MIND! Because you’re a Warrior and YOU’VE GOT THIS !

Really needed a short practice this morning to regulate myself and it worked so well. #yoga

Another bit of daily practice New music love @livromano #yoga #practice #movement #clarity #strengthening

Yoga asana is more than the pose In Warrior II (Virabhadrasana II), we’re building strong legs and open hips—but also confidence, resilience, and mental clarity. It’s a practice of staying grounded, steady, and focused even when things feel challenging. Asana isn’t about how it looks. It’s about how it feels. #yogapose #warrior2 #asana #findwhatfeelsgood #practicenotperfection

This was a challenge but.....it was so worth it! I started this practice with a lot on my mind, lacking any kind of real focus. Just needing something to put a little energy into and viola, just like that the practice took over, through all of the wiggles and wobbling, breath steady. Sometimes, all we need is a little challenge to take us out of our element, something to truly get "absorbed" in in the moment because when you make your way through it and out on the other side, you will have completely reset your whole perspective 🙆‍♀️ One of the many reasons to love yoga ❤️

I’ve come to the conclusion that inversions aren’t for me. I don’t like being upside down and just end up dizzy. Does that invalidate my practice? No! It’s a boundary that means I can use my time and energy for other things…like arm balances. Tell me…inversions or arm balances?

Creating some movement while trusting I am strong enough to hold myself up. Gifts from yoga..

oops, found a couple more from before the buzz
