Window sills, conference tables & kitchen counters all make great places to do #downwarddog 👌🏼😉 Drawing the outer hips back will give a nice side stretch and traction 🖤🖤 #officemeetyoga#deskstretch @karlyrailsyogaandbody
EEEP! 🆒 Announcement!
CaitlynTorres.com is up and running and I'm super stoked on it! 👏🏻 Be sure to head over and hang out in the new space for a bit.
So, Emersyn wants to know... Are you Down Dog? 🙃 Click the link in my bio to get there!
Tips for beginners: while learning Downward 🐶dog, most of us find it very difficult to avoid placing all our body wait away from our shoulders and wrists and the concept of lengthening your spine sounds far away from familiar...Therefore, an easy and accessible way of learning little by little the good feeling of keeping the shoulders away from your ears and lengthening your spine is by standing by your kitchen counter and then start moving backwards until you feel that your spine is super flat, extending those arms and not tighten your shoulders, nor locking your elbows. If you know that you suffer from tight hamstrings, then bend your knees and that would leverage the extension of your lower back too. Try to practice this at your own flow (inhale/exhale). If you suffer from weak wrists or you can’t practice Downward 🐶 dog because you can’t lay on the floor, this practice will really make the trick 😁🧘♀️#yogatraining#yoga#yogateacher#downwarddog#downwardfacingdog

“Ambition is not a dirty word”. Reese Witherspoon said that in a speech once. And again on a podcast. And it really struck a chord with me.
I’ve been holding myself in this state of “perpetual preparation”. Always ‘about’ to do something. Always ‘waiting’ for the right moment.
And I finally asked myself why. Why do I hold myself in limbo. And the answer is that deep down in my core I’ve held a belief that ambition is negative. That it means I’m vain. And self centered. That I have an inflated ego. It’s safer to stay in limbo, where I can’t be judged for wanting. And if I dig even deeper - it’s because I feel unworthy of wanting. I don’t say this so that everyone can reassure me that I am. A million people could tell me that, but until I believe it, it won’t make any difference. I share it because I think a lot of us feel this. Especially women. We can SAY that we are worthy, that we deserve, that ambition is good - but until we truly believe it, at least just enough to find the courage to take action, we will continue to hold ourselves in this state of perpetual preparation. .

A downward dog a day!
💪✌️💮
Yep.. one good long hold and stretch of this pose a day will give those legs the stretch they need! Walk on the spot and hit those tight calf muscles too!
River does not look impressed here... Ha ha . She was smiling and enjoying herself for a while but then hunger struck..! 💟
Seriously though such a simple pose that does the following:
. 💮 Calms the brain and helps relieve stress and mild depression💮 Energizes the body. 💮Stretches the shoulders, hamstrings, calves, arches, and hands. 💮 Strengthens the arms and legs. 💮 Helps relieve the symptoms of menopause.💮Relieves menstrual discomfort when done with head supported.💮Helps prevent osteoporosis.💮Improves digestion.
💮Relieves headache, insomnia, back pain, and fatigue.
💮Therapeutic for high blood pressure, asthma, flat feet, sciatica, sinusitis.

It’s a real shame that the personal care industry constantly puts GUNK as the main ingredient in your personal care products and then has the audacity to put something natural - like Argan oil - on the front of the label! When you look at the back... it’ll be one of the last ingredients in their ingredients list (they have to list these ingredients in order of highest concentration) meaning that there is x y z sulphate, paraben and mineral oil (to name just a few) before you get like 1% Argan oil. Why the funk is there even a mention of Argan oil... GTFO of here L’Oréal & Co - @nogunkofficial is calling you out!!!
It’s this week! Join us Thursday for “Hair of the Downward Dog” at 6pm to recharge and relax with yoga, beer, and always therapeutic...puppy petting. ;) Maybe even take one home with you? @shaktiyogaathens @athenshumanesociety @creaturecomfortsbeer
Dit is nog zo’n challenge. Op m’n kop staan: check. Op m’n onder armen staan: check. Maar steady op m’n handen (blijven) staan.. Dat vergt nog even wat oefening ☺️👀 #amsterdam
Pincha Mayurasana is een van m’n challenges. Als ik m’n dag heb en me focus, dan lukt het me om alleen te blijven staan. Morgen mag ik weer naar de Ashtanga opleidingsspeeltuin.. Eens zien welke challenge daar uit komt! 📸 by @viviennemagalie #pinchamayurasana
