Skandasana play 🥰 Let talk about hamstring flexibility (as we see is needed here to straighten the legs) Many people ask me if they need more hamstring flexibility to extend their knee in these balance poses. The answer is YES 👍 But you also need a lot of strength in your quadricep to fully extend the knee especially when you have your leg on your arm like here in #skandasana or poses like #titibasana. Muscles work as opposites. If you want to stretch one side the opposite side must contract especially when there is a lot of resistance like in this pose. If you want to learn more about mobility and how the body works send me a DM 🪷🧘🪷🧘 . . . . . . . . #poweryoga #viniasaflow #inversionaddict #compassvariation #yogateacher #bakasanavariation #practisewithme #armbalance #kristinastraining #yogaeveryday #yogaeverydamnday #onlineyogateacher #personaltrainer #onlinepersonaltrainer #yogateacherlisbon #yogateachersetubal #yoga #dailyyoga #yogainspiration #yogapractise #yogisofinstagram #instayoga #asanaaddict #strongisbeautiful #fitmom #yogadaily #yogawomen #yogagirl
#outdooryogasf #outdooryogapractice __ It always seems like a great idea to do some Yoga outside, but then that sun or wind hits you, and let’s not even talk about if we should be barefoot. __ Here are my top 5 considerations for outdoor Yoga. Please add your tips in the comments :-) 1. Mats get really hot in the sun. A slipper with a grippy sole is better than a mat outdoors. 2. Wind and uneven surfaces like sand or grass make balance difficult. Bring a Yoga block instead of a mat for outdoor practice. 3. If it’s less than 60 degrees it’s cold so wear layers. If it’s more than 70 degrees in full sun it’s too hot so wear light, breezy materials, a straw hat and sun screen. 5. Outdoor Yoga has conditions that challenge us so plan on moving slower and doing less advanced moves. __ Let me know what you think 🌝

Amidst life comes change, and we are powerless to stop that change from occurring. I've learned that what we can do is attempt to be content in that change, to find our Santosha in every change, to be so committed to our contentment that no change can blow us off course, because indeed, everything comes in divine timing ✨️ Come seek Santosha/Contentment on our mats together every Wednesday at 12:00, Noon, for INTRO TO YOGA in the 90° Hot Yoga Room at @goldsgymrichland 🔥 - #yoga #yogi #yogis #yogini #flowingwithfaith #yogainkennewick #yogainrichland #yogainpasco #yogaintricities #tricitieswa #introtoyoga #santosha #contentment #skandasana #sidesquats #beginner #weallstartsomewhere #movement #asana #movementismedicine #lunchtimeyoga #yogastudent #yogateacher #yogaeveryday #90degrees #tricitieswa #goldsgymrichland #goldsgym #builtbygolds #hotyoga #hotyogavibes
✨Você sabia que alongar a virilha é essencial para manter a flexibilidade e a saúde dos músculos da região pélvica? O Asana Skandasana é uma excelente maneira de alcançar esse alongamento profundo. Ao praticar regularmente este asana, você estica os músculos adutores das pernas e a virilha, o que pode ajudar a aliviar a tensão acumulada nessa área. Um alongamento eficaz da virilha não só melhora a flexibilidade, mas também pode ajudar a prevenir lesões e melhorar a postura. Além disso, o Skandasana é uma peça chave na prática do Vinyasa Flow Yoga que traz uma sequência dinâmica de movimentos sincronizados com a respiração, ajudando a criar fluidez e energia no corpo, fortalecendo os músculos das pernas, aumentando a circulação sanguínea e melhorando a consciência corporal. E você, já fez sua prática de yoga hoje? 😃 Vem com a gente!!!! 🌊🧘♂️💫 . #Yoga #VinyasaFlow #Flexibilidade #Skandasana

Good morning!! #yogamornings #goodvibes #skandasana #yogawellness
Vata is the dosha of autumn and is ruled by the two elements Ether and Air (the other elements being Fire, Water and Earth). Cooler temperatures and the quick changes in our environment - think warm days suddenly becoming very cool, how quickly the mornings are becoming darker - these all increase the energy of Vata around us. For us as humans living amidst this energy, an imbalance of Vata energy can manifest as feeling a little ungrounded from the cold wind, unsettled by routines that become disrupted as we transition from summer to winter activities and a feeling of coldness in hands, feet and within. The antidote to a Vata imbalance is to embrace the opposite qualities - and for us this week the energy of practice will move towards a state of feeling balanced, grounded and secure 💫 Physically you'll be exploring Skandasana, a side lunge that allows for exploration of different heights, arm positions and use of props to support yourself in this posture 😊 Focusing on lower body flexibility, hip mobility and core strength, you'll learn to move through Skandasana in a way that suits you best, warming the body with movement so you can move into the sweet rest of savasana at the end of practice 💕 📷 @studiobonum #malayogafreo #yogaperth #yogafremantle #yogastudioperth #perthyoga #fremantleyoga #helloperth #infreo #fremantle #practiceyoga #perthhealth #perthwellness #yoga #perthlife #whatsonperth #fitperthlife #perthnow #thisisfremantle #perthguide #autumninperth #autumn #vata #ayurvedicyoga #ayurveda #tantra #skandasana #sidelunge #ether #air #oppositequalities

🌿Embrace Humility: Discover Skandasana Yoga Pose 🙏✨ In the journey of self-discovery, humility is a powerful ally. And what better way to embody humility than through the graceful posture of Skandasana? Skandasana, or Side Lunge Pose, invites us to bow down to our humbleness, embracing both strength and surrender in equal measure. As we sink into the deep lunge, we honor the wisdom of the earth beneath us, grounding ourselves in humility and reverence. In this humble posture, we cultivate: Strength with Grace: Like a warrior bowing before a worthy adversary, Skandasana teaches us to wield strength with grace and humility. Flexibility of Mind and Body: As we stretch and open through the hips and groin, we also expand our capacity for compassion, understanding, and flexibility in both mind and body. Connection to the Earth: Rooted firmly into the earth, we are reminded of our interconnectedness with all beings, humbling ourselves before the vastness of creation. Release of Ego: By surrendering to the posture, we release the grip of ego and allow ourselves to be held by the nurturing embrace of the present moment. Alignment with Truth: In the depths of Skandasana, we find alignment with our true selves, shedding the layers of pretense and embracing the simplicity and purity of our essence. So, let us come together on the mat and bow down to our humbleness in the sacred space of Skandasana. Join us in embodying strength, surrender, and grace as we honor the divine within and without. 🌟🙏 #Skandasana #YogaJourney #HumbleWarrior

Slowing it down for Sunday 🐢 I think many people have the expectation that Vinyasa has to be fast and upbeat. One of my favorite ways to approach the practice is to sloooowww it down. While moving quickly can have its benefits, taking slow intentional movements help to strengthen the mind/body connection. Moving slowly can also help us tune into the sensation of each individual movement, helping us isolate strength where needed and ease into stretch where needed. If you’re new to the practice then slowly things down is a great way to become acquainted with the postures in your own body. Hope this helps ❤️ #slowsunday #weekendyoga #yogaathome🏡 #skandasana #yogabeginner #vinyasa #splitspractice #alo #yogaflow

// MOVEMENT PHILOSOPHY // I went to a yoga class in Paris right before Easter weekend. All was good until the teacher said « last round, let’s really sweat it out, think of all the chocolate you’re gonna eat this weekend ».🤦🏼♀️ I’m not sure when in history did we create this belief that movement & exercise were punishment or pay back for food, but I strongly believe this narrative needs to be crushed. I get it, guilt is an efficient marketing tactic - but it’s messed up. Movement is a source of physical, mental & emotional health. It makes you feel alive. It can boost your sense of self-confidence & resilience. It brings connection to yourself & others while creating opportunities for community & belonging. It plays a vital role in cardiovascular health, immune system function, bone strength, muscular endurance, respiratory capacity… It nourishes your brain, increases cognitive performance, boosts your memory & attention. It supports stress & emotions regulation. It can be a source of joy & adventure. AND SO MUCH MORE!!! And yes, movement can also help you regulate your weight & shape your body differently if this is something that you want for yourself. But why on Earth, when there are so many benefits to movement, do we still hear the predominance of body image guilt & weight loss arguments, even within the wellness industry, even in the middle of a yoga class?! Being able to move your body is a gift, not a punishment. Celebrate it! Move your body every day and eat the chocolate my friends.🍫 With love, Anne 💛 📸 #tbt pic I found on my camera roll, from the old days at the 1st @bubble.yoga studio in St. Gallen - wearing @sport.les as always #movementphilosophy #moveyourbody #yogaforall #yogateacher #movementadvocate #fitnessindustry #raisethebar #yogastgallen #yogaswitzerland #skandasana #movedaily
İnsanın alçakgönüllü olması kendi değerini olduğundan aşağı göstermesi demektir. Kendine en büyük ihaneti aslında kendin yaptığını anldığın zaman bu şekilde davranamıyorsun. Kibirli olmaktan bahsetmiyorum,değerin hakkında yapılan her yoruma yok ben öyle değilim diyerek(kendini o söylediği hale layık görmeyerek) cevap vermiyorsun da bu hali kabul edip teşekkür edip karşı tarafı bu halinle ezmiyorsun.. insan bu durumda daha iyi hissediyor😊 Cennetin kapısında ne kadar küçük görünmüşüm ama içimde kocaman bir ben var 🪐 . . #gatesofheaven #bali #lempuyangtemple #skandasana #yoga #yoginisofinstagram
#Skandasana è dedicata a Skanda, il dio della guerra. 🏹 La gamba tesa rappresenta la lancia che Skanda utilizza per proteggere il mondo dal demone Taraka; per il praticante, rappresenta il superamento degli ostacoli. 💪🏻 Un augurio per essere forti anche nelle situazioni che ci sembrano più difficili! . #asana #yoga #yogi #pratica #asanapractice #skanda #strong

This version of #skandasana allows us to give more attention to the extended leg. Less of the 1/2 squat action as we can be more supported on the squaring side with arms down holding blocks or the floor, but we can press the heel of the extended leg in the floor for a more eccentric stretch to the front leg. We can do the same thing in more dynamic engagement of hanumanasana which makes this variation of Skandasana a good prep for that.

Lateral lunging 🤍 4 different arm variations in skandasana to try. My legs stay the same in each pose (with the exception of the flat foot in the last one) but my arms are doing different things. The arm variations change the sensations in the body. Just playing around with arm variations in any pose can change the whole experience of the pose. Give it a try!

Day ❹ of #DragonflyForAllSeasons - Hip Opener - How we’ve worked to heal our trauma What works is to talk about it, and be open for support and helpful advice. Scale down temporary if necessary, but aim to maintain some level of social life and productive work. Try to work your way back to business as usual on your own phase. And don't let the trauma define you in the long run. It's your choice to either grow from it or succumb to it. I don't believe in labeling this and that as "trauma responses", unless it's something universally traumatic, such as war and excessive or long-term abuse. You can feel sad and even cry when looking back on something terrible, but sadness is still a normal feeling, and everyone knows what it is. No need for a new fancy name for it. I've also seen extreme independence listed as a "trauma response", which doesn't make sense, as independence is life skill just as common social skills. My choice for #hipopener is #Skandasana or #Sidelunge.

When not squatting all the way down in #skandasana we can get more work to the hamstring and glute. The posture may be referred to as a 1/2 squat regardless but in this variation those muscles get a little more active work. Next Tuesday we’ll post another version that can work things differently.
Abrir y Fortalecer las Caderas las cuales representan nuestras emociones más profundas.✨ Postura llamada Skandasana: actitud de batalla, en arraigo y lista para la acción. Dejar que la creatividad fluya desde tu campo de batalla interior, el poder de transformar; transformar en si, el miedo en amor✨ #yogaintegral #yogatridhosico #yogapostural #skandasana
