Urdhva Mukha Shvanasana (erd-vah mook-ah shiv-ah-saw-nah) or Upward Facing Dog - Most commonly used in flow transition right before downward facing dog. The strength of the arms and top of feet lift the tops of the legs off the ground. This pose also expands the lungs and opens the heart, welcoming and complimenting your flow for a more beautiful practice.

Imagine if change were your best friend. You might welcome it rather than dread it or even look forward to it. Better yet, because it is your best friend, even it is imperfect, you might adjust yourself to make your relationship better because that’s what best friends do. Assess your relationship with change and allow that relationship to guide your path into new situations. Your healthy relationship with change will allow you to dive in with uninhibited joy and unencumbered fearlessness which will open more situations you can experience together.

In the name of self service, let it go!

'Tis always the season to practice self service In yoga, there is a saying to "let go of that which does not serve you". It is meant to give you permission, to open yourself to things that are service to the self and let go of the things that are not. But how are we supposed to know what is serving us? Let's say, for example, that you said someth...

Virabhadrasana I (veer-ah-bah-drah-saw-nah) or Warrior 1, is the first of the three warrior poses. The hands overhead represents the emergence from the earth by Virabhadra, a being that was created by Shiva to avenge his wife’s death. The front leg is as close to 90 degrees as possible and the back leg is just as engaged to the point where it could hold weight (I’ve had instructors lay on this leg to prove this point).

Yoga can help you express joy. To feel it, choose it for every moment. This moment, and this one, oh and this one! Now that you've been joyous for a few moments, are you content enough to keep choosing it? 🙂

Vrksasana (vrik-saw-sa-na) or tree pose is a favorite among beginner and advanced yogis alike. A bonus is that it gives you the opportunity to assess how you distribute weight across your foot and allows you to improve it which can aid in posture and gait.
