Playful movement is the best movement ♥️

Morning movement makes my world go round 🙃 Having a space dedicated to yoga (that the animals can’t get to!) is such a welcome luxury. Being in this room instantly calms and inspires me. . . . #yogavideo #yogaflow #houseremodel #inversions #yogapractice #yogaselfpractice #rituals

For years, self practice was 99% of my yoga practice. It helped me build a really special relationship to yoga since it was so self-guided and exploratory, and to this day I will choose self practice over a class 90% of the time. . But between moving and wrapping up another school year, I’ve needed the accountability of teacher led classes. It’s been so nice to practice (via zoom or in person) with other teachers lately. . Last night I let myself step onto the mat “for just a minute” since I needed to mow and empty the dishwasher and put away painting supplies and and and.... and of course it was well over a few minutes later that I stepped back off of the mat. Such a yummy little treat to just plain P L A Y for a while. . #yogaselfpractice #metime #myyoga #inversions #pincha #selfcare

Playful yet mindful: my way of showing up on the mat. . I constantly remind my students that it’s okay to grunt or laugh or tumble in class. These are reminders, after all, of our own humanity. And if we aren’t in touch with that while on the mat, then what are we really doing there? . #playfulyoga #mindfulness #bdyoga #headstand #yogaflow #yogavideo

Challenge is a good thing. Doing a funky headstand or standing on ones hands doesn’t matter — but trying these things really does have a positive effect. We can hardly challenge our bodies without challenging our minds, and we can hardly challenge our minds without somehow growing them. . Challenge is good. .

Nothing like a flat tire in the middle of moving week... not to mention, our THIRD move within the last year. Thank god we bought and plan to be here for a very long time. 😅 . . . #flattire #hgs #girlgetafterit #movingishard #homeownership #homeowner #tirechange

Playful morning movement following a 14 hour day of traveling — is there anything better? . . . #travelingyogi #outdooryoga #vacation #springbreak #yogavideo #armbalance #inversion #springbreak2021 #yogaeverywhere

Mindful, exploratory movement. The one thing (well, also nature) that can thoroughly refresh me. Goodness am I grateful to have found this. . #bdyoga #mindfulmovement #yogaflow #yogaselfpractice #yogasequence #armbalances #inversions #justmove #metime

Things come together and fall apart. Come together and fall apart. . The only constant here is change. . #change #itslikethisnow #thingsfallapart #yogaflow #yogaselfpractice #yogasequence

S1, E19 of Th Practice: Just Decide Already: 3 Strategies to Overcome Indecision. Where are my indecisive people at? 🙋🏼‍♀️ For years, I struggled to make even the simplest decisions of where to go eat or what movie to watch. Join me as I share out 3 strategies that have made decision making a much easier and less stressful process for myself. Hopefully they can do the same for you. . #thepracticepodcast #bdyoga #decisionsdecisions #decisionsarehard #indecision . #selfcare #mindfulness #thisisyoga #yogaoffthemat #mindfullife #mindfulliving #practiceandalliscoming #itslikethisnow #catsofinstagram #yogapodcast #selfhelp #selfhealers #selfimprovement #dothework #psychology #growthmindset #becurious #feedbacknotfailure #meditation #dharmatalk #yogapodcast

Just some kitty-filled, playful morning movement. . I never plan out my self practice and I never practice for a set time. Instead I try to show up feeling curious and also interested in moving through (more or less) each range of motion for my arms and legs. . Sometimes that means I’m on the mat for 20 minutes, sometimes it means 2 hours. No matter which it is, I feel better after ♥️ . #bdyoga #yogaflow #yogaselfpractice #myyoga #catsofig #catsofinstagram #yogawithpets #yogavideo #yogaflow

It has officially been one month of daily handstand drills and practice. And while things don’t look much different from the outside, they sure feel different internally. . My wrists no longer ache during / after practice; arm balances that usually feel shaky feel steady; even though I cannot *really* handstand, I feel at least knowledgeable enough to know how to one day get there. . So.... onto month 2. . #bdyoga #resolutionhandstand2021 #myhandstandjourney #staglegs #realtimeyoga #yogavideo

Flipping your grip // . IG has popularized flipped grip poses, but 1) how do you enter safely? And 2) what does it mean when a person enters active-passively vs actively? . The first flipped grip I enter into using a bind, which is an active-passive form of flexibility. This makes it more accessible since contact creates the ability to tug and give, but it also means that a person could force it before their body is ready. The second entrance is entirely active, meaning that it’s harder to get into (takes more strength and flexibility as well as more awareness — note I totally don’t find my foot on the second side 😂), but it is also safer (unless your body is ready, you ain’t getting there via this method! . Ultimately, most of us start flipping our grips using the first method, but remember to listen closely to your body. Discomfort is okay; pain is not. . #bdyoga #yogatutorial #flippedgrip #flipyourgrip #anjaneyasana #lunge #lowlunge #yogahowto #yogavideo #realtimeyoga #strengthandflexibility #listentoyourbody

S1, E17 of The Practice Podcast: Usually when we hear talk of the ego (especially in yoga!), it’s cast in a negative light. However, The ego itself itself isn’t inherently good or bad: it just is. Listen in for some insight into how you might note the ways your own ego impacts your life for better and for worse so that you can interact with it more intentionally. . . . #thepracticepodcast #ego #bdyoga #yogapodcast #psychology #podcastersofinstagram #catsofinstagram #catsofig #selfimprovement #selfhealing #knowthyself #selfstudy #svadhyaya #pause #intentionalliving #mindfulliving #lifeisapractice #practiceandalliscoming #yogateacher #teacher #peptalk #liveonpurpose

This is what overcoming fear looks like. . Not pictured: the hours (and months and YEARS) of practice that it took for me to feel comfortable and confident in attempting a dropback. . A couple years ago I did one for the first time, but it didn’t feel good in my body. In fact, I could hardly breathe while getting into it, and I worried about the impact on my wrists and shoulders. . Doing a dropback now feels controlled. I can breathe fully the whole way through and I know where my hands will land and that they won’t slide back. . But for literal YEARS I put off trying it again. I worked my active backbends and shoulder strength and mobility and continued to check in, but never pushed myself to try it until I thought, “I can do this, so why not?” . That’s been a big part of yoga for me: not caring about anyone else’s journey or progression or timeline — just listening to my body with openness and curiosity. . And in doing this dropback, and I felt pride. Not in the shape, but in the fact that I did this thing in my own time and in a way that felt good in my body. . #itsyourpractice #bdyoga #practiceandalliscoming #itslikethisnow #yogavideo #dropback #wheelpose #backbend #fear
