Daily Yoga // Day One - A Modified Side Plank Practice for Vasisthasana.

Added 2022-02-05 01:06:23 +0000 UTC

My featured routine this month sculpts the thoracic chest and shoulders with balance, strength, and alignment. This becomes foundational for the posture Vasisthasana to develop. In the video, you will find two modifications of the pose along with fluid motion transitions. This will help you make exciting progress with balance, and make the yoga journey to Vasisthasana feel extra good. Read below to find the outline of this 30min routine.

Honestly, I feel so happy and grateful to be practicing yoga again at home. I'm letting this series evolve without too much concerted effort to follow routines as planned. Instead, I really just surrender to what my body wants to do. It's so cool to see how it really does evolve. Not at all moving in the methods that I had planned, but even more intelligently advancing. This is so cool to me, because it is a direct reflection of the mental aspect trying to redo the beginning over and over, nit pick the details, and refine the shit out of any perceived flaw. Sounds exhausting doesn't it? So instead, the mind surrenders and says "Ok let's see the body. Let's watch what it does." And this allows more intelligence to happen because there's no trap - the limiting belief of not being good enough - to restrict its ability to move forward; to continue. I still do have those refined routines planned, but I'm acknowledging that I'm going to file them. Keep them tucked away for another day. Something that I can look forward to in the future.Now I am enjoying the evolution of this practice.

Fun fact: The Vasisthasana position is named after a sage famous for manifesting magic wishes. So I think it's safe to say this is a yoga motion potion.
