“Yoga, as a way of life and a philosophy, can be practiced by anyone with inclination to undertake it, for yoga belongs to humanity as a whole.

Astakravasana A & B — 🕊 Sometimes the most pr

Astakravasana A & B —
🕊
Sometimes the most profound practices are the ones where we start off not wanting to practice.
Isn’t it interesting?
🤍
Now, I am not saying to suffer through pain and injury unintelligently. But, I am talking about those days where we just don’t want to do it for whatever reason. One thing I will tell you is, no matter how long we do something, or how high we rise, resistance will follow us. We have to learn to dance with it because often it will be our most challenging competitor, which of course stems from the mind.
🕊
Often we doubt ourselves because we feel resistance. Or because we don’t feel “inspired.” Well, it is all a part of the journey. As we mature we learn inspiration is made, not given. Go out and grab it! It’s what we do with what we have that opens us to greater versions of ourselves. 🧘🏽

Eka Pada Bakāsana A & B —
.
Some postures we get on our first attempt. While others take days, weeks, months or even years to find completion. It’s the nature of things. Understand, that with or without, we are already complete. Knowing, that one of the many benefits of yoga is experiencing the inherent beauty and potential of who we are, now. It never comes from the outside—always within. The work of āsana, and the practice of continual awareness, assists us in looking deeper—it is often an extraction process. We have to get moving. For some, twisting the body into knots and shapes helps to unlock the recesses of the mind. Just having the ability to bring what is unconscious, conscious is worthwhile in finding greater freedom within ourselves. It is one of the many tools available.🤍
.
For me, making something out of nothing has opened my eyes to greater possibility. It doesn’t always come easy, and why should it? Nowadays, everyone wants things fast with minimal work or commitment. Fortunately, it doesn’t work that way. Not everyone agrees, but the act of trying and exploring opens new doorways. We may not get what we set out to accomplish, but often it opens to other avenues we didn’t think possible. Forget the naysayers! I have learned the more there are, the more you are probably on the right track! 😉🧘🏽#dailymotivation #larugayoga

🕊”To think that enlightenment only comes thro

🕊”To think that enlightenment only comes through wonderful experiences is to delude yourself. Yes, there are cases when someone has a spontaneous awakening, and he or she doesn’t have a lot of karmic tendencies to see through. But that is rare. For most of us, the path to enlightenment is not rosy. We need to acknowledge this, because otherwise we’re only going to let ourselves travel toward that which feels good, that which supports our image of what the path of awakening should be. For most people, the path of awakening does have wonderful, profound moments and realizations. But it is also a gritty thing. It’s not what most people sign up for when they say they want to be enlightened. The truth of the matter is that most people who say they want awakening don’t actually want to awaken. They want their version of awakening. What they actually want is to be really happy in their dream state. And that’s okay, if that’s as far as they’ve evolved.”(Adyashanti)🤍 #wordsofwisdom

Koundinyāsana A & B —
.
Working into strength doesn’t have to be aggressive. Pushing isn’t necessary. From my perspective, this is a long term journey, and takes time to integrate the various layers the practice penetrates. 🧘🏽
.
I often get questions on timelines. When will the flexibility come? How long to get stronger? When will such and such happen? For one, I am not psychic 🔮— but two, the reward is not in a collection of asanas. Having a practice that grounds and centers us on a daily basis is the reward, no matter how we perform. 🕊
.
Of course, it is important to be mindful, and learn proper technique, but the reality is you have to be prepared to fail many times before a posture comes together. It takes perseverance. If it doesn’t challenge us, there is no change, and every person will have different challenges. How we navigate all of this is where the depth is. 🤍
.
When we connect to our breath and enter into the present moment the reward of practice is immediate. Grace enters when accepting of how it all unfolds. 🕊 #practicegratitude #larugayoga

“Our illusions—the beliefs we hold on to—are

“Our illusions—the beliefs we hold on to—are the very doorways to our freedom. We simply have to enter through them, without grasping or pushing away. We must not believe them, but we must not run from them, either. We need to see each moment of apparent bondage as an invitation to freedom. Then it becomes an act of love, an act of compassion, to stop running away.” (Adyashanti)

The evolution of Marīcāsana A — H 🧘🏽

In this segment of āsanas there is always a bind. Closing the gap. This is where we learn to combine various elements in one pose. Working our way from simplicity to complexity. 🤍 #ashtanga #larugayoga

• Jump Thru Variations •
.
Basically jump throughs get us from point A to point B. It’s not a contest. What’s most important is the quality of movement, no matter what variation you are working on. 🧘🏽
.
I often tell practitioners that most everyone can jump forward, but few can control it—at first. So when starting, only jump, or step, in a way where you can control the descent. It doesn’t have to be ultra fancy at the cost of losing it midway through the movement. Take it in, step by step, with small bites, learning to align the body (especially hips) over the arms, as you resist the weight. This helps to build strength. And actually, every variation facilitates strength because of this alignment over the arms. 🕊
.
What many forget is the work of resistance is what generates the flowing action. Remember, quality movement trumps everything when it comes to transitions. It doesn’t matter if you walk, step, or jump forward. The mindfulness you bring to it will build the right aptitude and attitude in practice. 🧘🏽#practicemakesprogress #larugayoga

Bhairavāsana—at home. 🧘🏽
.
Here we have a combination of eka pada sirsasana and side plank. Going further into the Ashtanga practice it offers āsanas of various combinations. It makes it not only physically tricky but mentally as well. At first it feels like a puzzled piece, but with practice, and time, we find our groove. 🤍

🕊Slow and steady—Slowing down doesn’t mean

🕊Slow and steady—Slowing down doesn’t mean stop. However, when slowing down, we get a greater view— another vantage point. We see more. We understand better. We find our ground. We get in touch with ourselves. Right now, many of us are being called to take a breath. To pause. To simplify. It may not be in the way we would prefer, and it may be happening at the most inconvenient time. Frustration may mount. Moments like this carve out our character. It isn’t when things are unfolding how we like, but the opposite, when we realize what we are made of. What have years of practice taught us and prepared us for? Now we are being called to ride a storm, not knowing when it will end. Pull yourself into presence. I don’t always find it easy, but it seems to be the best way to navigate the unknown. 🤍🧘🏽🕊 #practicepresence #larugayoga
