@jamienashyoga shows us NINE different ways to do Downward Facing Dog or #AdhoMukhaSvanasana 💛 #YSPTopTipsTuesday⁠ .⁠ "Adho Mukka Svanasana or Downward Facing Dog 🐶⁠ If you've ever taken any yoga class, odds are this pose was part of the sequence. But did you know, there are SO MANY variations and modifications for this pose!? Begin in table top pose, with your wrists under your shoulders and your knees under your hips. Move your hands up 1-2 inches in front of you. Curl your toes and slowly lift your knees from the mat. Straighten your legs best you can and press into your fingertips. Reach your tailbone towards the sky to lengthen your spine. For tight calves, keep your knees bent as much as needed, or walk your heels or "walk the dog" as I like to say. Try things like gently nodding or shaking the head or "wagging your tail" and see how it feels to you. ⁠ Benefits include stretching the back of the body; ankles, calves, hamstrings and spine, strengthens the upper body; arms, shoulders, abdomen and legs, and improves digestion.

Looking to try a new version of Lizard Pose or #UtthanPristhasana today? @yoga_with_vandana shows us 8 different options to try out in this pose! 🤩#YSPSomethingNewSaturday⁠ .⁠ "Utthan Pristhasana - Lizard Pose :⁠ ⁠ Lizard Pose is a great way to stretch your hamstrings, hip flexors, and quadriceps. Strengthening these muscle groups will help you maintain a full range of motion. A slow, deep, hip-opening stretch can help alleviate low back pain or sciatica, release tension, and prevent injury both in your yoga practice and your everyday life. Strength in your hips and hamstrings, in particular, can improve your balance and flexibility.⁠ ⁠ The pose also has many mental benefits, including reducing stress, improving focus, energizing creativity, and releasing emotion."⁠ .⁠ #yoga #yogapractise #lizardpose #yogaanywhere⁠ #yogaasanas #yogaselfpractice #yogalove #hipopener #hipopeners #strength #strengthtraining #strengthwithyoga

We love this reflection of the practice shared by @justinethompsonyoga 🥰 #YSPShareoftheWeek⁠ .⁠ "Opening spaces in the body, broadening gaps between the ribs on the side panels - delicious! ⁠ ⁠ Filling the expanded spaces with the inhalation & finding ease in the breathe.⁠ ⁠ When I focus on these seemingly small spaces, my attention draws together. What was previously a fragmented mind quietens & I can sense a knowing, a bigger sense of self.⁠ ⁠ One of the reasons I return to my mat over & over.⁠ ⁠ What about you?⁠"⁠ .⁠ ⁠Want to create and sustain your own Yoga Self Practice?

We love these posts! What's your favourite version of #Utkatasana ? Thanks for sharing these @michellefinlayyoga 💛#YSPTopTipsTuesday⁠ .⁠ "Your Asana Your Way. ⁠ . ⁠ A yoga pose in my body will look different to a pose in your body, and different again in someone else. I often say to my students "don't worry about what anyone else is or isn't doing, they are not inside your body". We all live different lives and our historical patterns will show up differently in our bodies. ⁠ . ⁠ Here are some different chair poses: ⁠ .⁠ 1. Reclined Chair Pose. ⁠ 2. Chair Pose on a chair. ⁠ 3. Chair Pose with a chair for balance. ⁠ 4. Chair Pose arms shoulder height. ⁠ 5. Chair Pose arms up. ⁠ 6. Chair Pose with a deeper squat. ⁠ .⁠ Do you always do your poses the same way or are you up for experimenting? Do you have any other ways of doing chair pose not featured here? I'd love to see them."⁠ .⁠ #yoga #accessibleyoga #adaptiveyoga #yogapractice #yogaforeveryone #yogatips #yogalife #yogaselfpractice
