Stops Along the Way

Fun, beach practice toward the scorpion variation of pinchamayurasana. Still working on the balance and the length, and–oh yeah–that “heart melting” before bending those knees. There are many stops along the way in this practice. I usually stop at the vertical variation, but challenged to play around. Beach mindset helps.

Beach Bravery

Beach favorites? For me, handstands. For the rest of my gang, other stuff, like
skim boarding. I am so much braver on the sand, even though this #HiltonHead sand is not soft at all. Like asphalt. We ride our bikes on it with ease. But I will kick up over and over again, seeking one moment aloft, balanced, inverted. A celebration each time. I am hoping to take some of my #inversion bravery home with me, as well as the beach backbend work, which is also much more fun and much braver.

Vacation…

Beautiful sunsets and sleepy mornings. VACATION! Opening up to all of that goodness and beauty. Not hard to do on the beach with this dog and my family. And small bits of yoga.

The Poses We Don’t Love….

Tidal pool mermaid. I am not happy IN this pose or WITH this pose. Even at the beach. More practice. But I don’t want to practice this one. So I don’t. It remains rough, with tight hips and shoulders.

What are the poses you don’t like to practice? Maybe it’s time to do one or two of them, and add them to your practice. See what happens. I’ll do it if you do!

What’s SUP?

Stand on your head. On a board. In the water.

So fun.

Onward… Upward… Facing Bow. Then lift a leg. 

Eka Pada=one leg. And lifting one leg in this pose is hard, especially for the first time. There was a period when I was doing a LOT of hot yoga that I finally got comfortable doing it. Because I was doing this pose a LOT. Even lifting an arm. Since then, I have been avoiding all of thIs. As students in my classes can attest, don’t teach them enough either. Sooooo, this
#julyyogachallenge #backtobackbends (with @kinoyoga @beachyogagirl @aloyoga) is good for me. And necessary.

Onward. Upward….Facing bow. And then lift a leg.

Water Wheel

Water works. Water wheel. 

This pose used to make me cry. And it is still not a favorite. I am committed to practicing it more, getting back on the #UrdhvaDhanurasana
bandwagon. It is a little scary on the paddle board but I am a bit of a chicken, as many know. This one for Day 18 of the #julyyogachallenge #backtobackbends with @kinoyoga @beachyogagirl @aloyoga.

Thank you @NancyWillardTartt for the pic and the lake luxury. And @LydiaKellett for the paddle board. Smooches.

Dock Yoga

Lakeside yoga is fun, even if this pose makes me feel like I am tied up in a knot. All parts. Another one I never practice. But here it is for day 17 of the #julyyogachallenge #backtobackbends with @kinoyoga @beachyogagirl @aloyoga.

Pretzel love to @yogioneandonly @sevans880 @cardigansarah @extendyoga.

Orange Ball

“I see her orange ball. The bumpy one she puts under her butt. She’s not using it. Maybe it’s my turn.”

Charlie photobombs my ahhh #Anjanayasana moment. For Day 16 of #julyyogachallenge #backtobackbends with @kinoyoga @beachyogagirl @aloyoga.

A sweet break in the rough stuff, eh? @yogioneandonly @sevans880 @cardigansarah @extendyoga.

Backbends are Hard

HELLO thoracic and shoulder opener with Dwi Pada Viparita Dandasana. A hard one. Trying to keep it in my upper back with the knees bent. Not really ready for the straight legs if I have any integrity elsewhere. All for Day 15 of #julyyogachallenge #backtobackbends with @kinoyoga @beachyogagirl @aloyoga.

Backbends are hard, @yogioneandonly @sevans880 @cardigansarah @extendyoga.
