Inspired by Yoga Girl (Rachel Brathen) and her beautiful lift up from crow to handstand, I decided to just see where I stood.... And nope. Not there yet. But hey, its only Jan 11th, right?! Ive been focusing on building shoulder girdle and pelvic floor strength this past week. Those two elements are basically essential to all inversions and difficult transitions. And incase youre wondering exactly what shoulder girdle and pelvic floor are comprised of and how to access and strengthen them, I plan on demonstrating some of the exercises Ive been doing to work on them this coming week so that YOU can work on them too (if you so desire) Ive also been working on releasing or letting go of unrealistic expectations I have of others AND myself... And through that process its led me to start focusing on the first Niyama, Sauca, (or purity) and trying to figure out what applying it to my life looks like. Its been an interesting concept for sure and one Im still wrestling with. This path is about freedom and love and learning to deconstruct the blocks to that love and that freedom from the confinement of outworn patterns of thought and action. I love that everyday I get the chance to start anew.
