“If we practice the science of yoga, which is useful to the entire human community and which yields happiness both here and hereafter – if we practice it without fail, we will then attain physical, mental and spiritual happiness, and our minds will flood towards the Self.”

Even though there has been scientific research done in regards to the benefits of yoga, I have always felt deep inside it is primarily mysterious in nature. It cannot be pinned and reduced into theories and formulas. It can only be experienced—and the interesting part is the experience can never be encapsulated into words, because words could never do it justice. So while others pick it apart and talk a good game. I’d rather immerse myself into the mystery. 🕊🧘🏽 #ashtanga #larugayoga

Both postures—the entry points into Intermediate series. I like to think of them as the gateway into the sequence. Life is a also a series of gateways. Whether entering a new phase or evolving into a another stage, what we find is each step is integral to the whole. Wherever you are, honor it. We all need to start somewhere. #practicedaily #larugayoga

A straightforward demonstration—I know it may seem redundant to some, but I still stand in complete appreciation for the practice. Everyday is new even if I have done it potentially 1000x’s. It reminds me of one of my all time favorite quotes:

“I fear not the man who has kicked 1000 times. I fear the man who has kicked the same kick 1000 times.” (Bruce Lee) 🧘🏽

Stamina. That’s what the last portion of the backbending sequence represents. Can we squeeze the last bit of juice out of the practice? Is the juice even worth the squeeze? 🤔 I think there are many instances in life and practice where making lemons 🍋 into lemonade becomes a skill. Our headspace ceases in its activity. Our personal self dissolves as we become the movement alone. When new to the experience or the endeavor chances are the taste will be sour. Sweetness comes through showing up. Fully. Knowing this moment is all there is. Success or failure is the stuff of the mind. There’s genius in one who embodies themselves fully. 🧘🏽

When I started the practice, if left to my own devices I would have happily skipped backbending. I never enjoyed it. I didn’t like the intensity and upheaval it would create in the body and mind. However, I loved the overall practice more than I disliked backbending! So, I had to learn to love and embrace the challenges faced, because I couldn’t pick and choose the asanas placed before me.
.
Though choice is a beautiful thing, I see the intelligence in not having the option, because there is a natural avoidance of what’s uncomfortable and a chasing after what is pleasurable. When caught in this loop, we deny the opportunity to to make weaknesses strengths as we shape a more expansive reality for ourselves.
.
Looking back, I am so grateful I leaned in. Though it took a long time to find my stride in the midst of frustration and fear at times— these are the moments that define and shape who we are—even when we don’t see it at first. This is the beauty of yoga—what remains hidden may be our greatest gift. 🧘🏽#heartcentered #practicegratitude

I have been enjoying these conversations immensely and learning so much. I don’t know why I haven’t done it sooner! There are many voices in the yoga community that are so eloquent, thoughtful and intelligent. I hope to keep these dialogues coming as the expansion of diverse minds and people elevate the entirety of the community. 🧘🏽

Navasana doesn’t get much love in the practice and for good reason. It’s not the most comfortable pose, but we can agree that it is straight forward and rather simple. Mostly strength based, we repeat 5 times for 5 breaths with a lift up in between. Because it resides at the half way point, in Primary series, it brings added difficulty. Nonetheless, it’s fun just to smile through it because if we quit right before it gets uncomfortable we miss the opportunity to get stronger! 😅
.
There is a technique to building strength more efficiently instilling presence and proper breathing. First, make sure legs are engaged and active when lifting, countering with a rise to the chest. Toes point to extend energy beyond the feet and I like to feel the same through my finger tips as well. Arms shoulder height. Gaze toward toes. Keep the face relaxed. 😌
.
When lifting, even if the feet don’t get off the floor prioritize maintaining the knees in the chest to facilitate a stronger core like I do for the first lift. Keeping thighs glued to the torso is extremely important in core stability and strength progress in this position. Then in time the bottom will lift and possibly an added swing. No matter what you are working with it’s all good! 🧘🏽
