• My top 3 tips for a better backbend💛 . . . ✔️Contract the gluteus maximums to extend the hips. However, contracting this muscle also externally rotates the hips and can splay the knees out! . . ✔️Counteract this action by contracting the muscles that internally rotate the hips, which is the tensor fascia latae (the muscle that runs down the outside of the thighs) and the front part of the gluteus medius. . . ✔️Spread the weight evenly into the hands, and keep bringing the shoulders forward over the wrist. This helps to prevent any additional strain on the wrist. . . 💕✨🌻 & practice every day.. .

  • The never ending practice of yoga.. I think that’s why I’m so addicted to it. There’s literally no end. There’s no ‘awesome, that’s conquered. Next!’ remark. There’s always a new limit you can break through in a posture, a new connection to your body, a deeper feeling of your muscle fibres, to your breath, and more stillness you can find. Even the most basic postures.. I never get sick of them. And and as soon as you catch yourself saying you have mastered something, you realise that the next thing to master is letting go of your ego and realising you are still just a mere beginner.. what other form of exercise can teach you more than that.. 💛 . . . #yoga #yogi #yogalove #headstand #headstandpractice #headstandvariation #yogaeverydamnday #calisthenics #calisthenicsworkout #yogini #headstandexercise #passion #followit #yogaposes #yogachallenge #surrender

  • This may just look like me standing outside of a home in Notting Hill.. BUT I am actually doing yoga 😂😂. Tadasana, mountain pose, is the keystone of all the standing postures. It teaches you body awareness, and how to activate your muscles to create neutrality in your spine. When we stand still, we often lean into one of our hips, or we hunch our shoulders when at a desk or when we’re looking at our phone. When in tadasana pose, it teaches you to scan your body from big toe all the way to the tip of your head, and, to activate each of the muscles to correct the misalignments that happen because of habits in everyday life. When doing the posture, your big toes touch with your heels slightly apart. Distribute the weight of the body evenly across the feet. Make your ankle bones touch, which will activate your inner legs. Engage the quadriceps by lifting your knee caps. To avoid your lower ribs from bulging out, gently engage your abdominal muscles. Widen your collarbones, and press your shoulders down away from the ears. Keep your arms by your side and hug your muscles onto your bone and pull the energy to your fingertips. And lastly, keep your gaze directly forward. A walk in the park, right? 😂❤️ . . . #itsjuststanding #bodyAwareness #yoga #yogi #blakehurst #rockdale #hurlstonepark #marrickville #petersham #drummoyne #yogaeveryday #yogalove #tadasanapose #practiceeveryday #bondi #yogaasana #yogafundamentals
