Luna Glow Yoga

Meditation in movement. 🤎

Much easier than it looks unless you’re jumping into it. 😉

Stepping up my with jump through and jump back technique in vinyasa. It requires a bunch of strength, motivation and most of all of practice! Bring it on.. 🤍

Below are my top tips for Urdhva Dhanurasana 🙃✨ I’ve been on a journey with this pose over the last year, so hopefully these are helpful. Here we go:
Warm up first. I did 90 minutes of Ashtanga Yoga before demonstrating this, and within the sequence it comes just before the finishing poses. Seriously, it will reduce the risk of injury.
Use a wall. It gives you something to aim for. You want to push from the feet and send the chest to the wall, rather than up to the sky.
Elbows drawn in. Don’t let them flare out to the side when you push up. It’s not good for your shoulders. When you’re up, straighten the arms.
Squeeze your butt. Some teachers say not to do this when backbending. It depends on your body and hip flexors, but it saved my lumber spine from (further) injury so keep it in mind.
Accept that it’s really hard. This is more important than you think. If you tell yourself it’s supposed to be easy, you will become frustrated and give up. Or you will decide that you just can’t do it.
If it does happen to be easy, then you’re ready to walk the hands towards the feet, and if that’s a breeze, you’re ready to work on drop backs from standing!
Let me know how it goes. 🙃💫

Things happen that leave a mark in space, in time. In us. 🖤

Sweat, effort, depth and energy. There is nothing like practising in a Mysore-style room. I’ve practised online with my teacher for over a year and a half. Tonight we met in person, and I met the other students too! Safe to say I’ve taken a foot off the gas practising alone, so it felt amazing to push myself again and feel that edge. 💯💜

Malasana has a downward flowing energy so it’s a particularly calming and grounding pose.
It’s also fundamental for toning the legs, opening the hip and ankle joints, releasing compression in the lower back and strengthening the core.
If it wasn’t for chairs, sofas and cars we’d probably sit like this often and with ease, but since we don’t we lose a bunch of mobility that we should have.
How is your yogi squat? If it’s not possible to bring the heels down you can try rolling up a towel or mat and propping it under the feet. Or use a book or block. Give it a try..! 😌

Been in the bath (in Bath) for about an hour.. but I did my practice first. 😉

Are you using your core strength to enter bound headstand?
Wall or no wall, kicking up into headstand using momentum will only mean dumping weight into the head and neck, or falling out of it.
Check out my IG story for three ways to enter Sirsasana safely! 🖤

Super excited to be teaching a Flow For All this evening at 6.15pm! 💫 We won’t be practising handstands (!!) but there will be plenty to keep you challenged, present and working into flexibility and core strength. If you’d like to give it a try, book via Yoga Bodhi Bath 💜

Today was a Monday marathon, but I managed to squeeze in half primary and half intermediate with my amazing teacher this evening, so feeling like a million bucks.. 🤩

Primary series today with and first time practising the full series in a while. It was hard but that’s ok; it never needs to be perfect. One of my favourite things about Ashtanga Yoga is that when life gets busy or injury gets in the way of practice, it’s always there waiting for you.. like a life long friend. 🤍

Happy Sunday 🙃💫

Happy Saturday ❤️💫
