| Yoga Warrior (@krysteldallas.yoga)Downward Dog belongs to the category of inversion asanas, and we often (but not always!) see it practiced as part of a longer, set sequence of postures. Like all yoga poses, it has some valuable health benefits.
Done on all fours, Downward Dog is a great way to activate the entire body. It strengthens the upper body by putting weight on the arms and the shoulders, and the lower body by giving a decent stretch to the hamstring and calf muscles. Thanks to the inversion part of it, it’s also a great way to get your blood flowing.
Although not scientifically proven, some yoga gurus claim the Downward Dog pose to be a good way to battle fatigue, which can be a great added bonus.
When it comes to mental health, there’s no doubt that Downward Dog, like many other yoga postures, is great at getting us to relax. The increased focus on the body and the breath has a soothing, grounding effect that is no less important than the physical health benefits.

]]>In this video, which also happens to be a Halloween video (hence the blonde wig on Adriene’s head during the first 30 seconds), Adriene walks us through the fundamentals of the beloved crow pose. She offers a slow, step-by-step tutorial to make sure we don’t miss a single detail on our way to create the perfect Crow Pose.
“This asana also teaches us and reminds us of the importance of integration in our postures. We work to create a full-body experience. Keep your gaze forward and rock in and out of it,” Adriene writes in the video’s description.
“Crow is a wonderful posture to return to again and again for inspiration and a reminder to focus on the practice. Breathe deep, take your time, and enjoy the journey! The journey is the reward!”

]]>Lion Pose – Simhasana
This is a really good pose once you manage to do it the right way. Kneel back down, gluing one knee against the other. The next step is to cross your shin bone on top of your calf muscle. Relax and sit this way for a while, and then, switch sides.

Your ankles and knees will be grateful for this pose, and putting the pressure of your body on them will feel like a massage. Kneel with your feet apart and sit into the ground with your tailbone.
Quad Stretch
This pose is the best for ending your yoga activities for the day. Do a quad stretch by standing with your knees at the same hight. Keep them in a line. It’s very important to keep your glute muscles backward and your thigh towards your knee while doing this.

]]>Warm-Up
It’s important to start with a warm-up to get the movement and flow going. This will prepare your body for tougher poses that require more strength and stability to perform. Your warm-up should take between five and 10 minutes, but it’s more important to observe how your body feels than to watch the clock.

When you’re beginning yoga training on your own, one hour of yoga can feel overwhelming. Start with a few poses you know and feel confident doing. When you’re finished, lie in a corpse pose—on your back, letting your feet fall open, arms relaxed at sides, palms up—for five minutes. Repeat this routine for two weeks.
#lifeisnow #therightpeople #therightplace @at.home.yoga.retreatAlways Breathe
Don’t rush, keep both your inhale and exhale even and equal in time, because breath control is essential. The breath is used in a variety of ways—to energize, to relax, or to connect one pose to another.

]]>Child’s Pose
The popular child’s pose is amazing for a number of reasons. One of those is that it will help you balance out the energies in your body, while also relieving you from stress. This has a major positive impact on mental health.
Corpse Pose
Lying on your back is all you need to do for this pose. The most important part is that you need to stay in the corpse pose for at least five minutes. It’s very simple to do, meant for everyone, and you can do it anywhere.
Lotus Pose
This is the pose most people do when they meditate. Meditation is connected to mental well-being, which means it’s a great pose to practice so that you can feel better. Forget about stress and focus on doing yoga.
Bridge Pose
Getting into a bridge pose activates the internal organs by improving the blood flow. At the same time, it eliminates stress, which will help you deal with anxiety.

]]>Squat
The yoga squat can really help you during labour and pregnancy. When you get into a squat position you widen the pelvis and open it up, which helps you feel calm. Place your feet a little wider than your hips and come to a sitting position on some cushions or you can try leaning against a wall. Put them as high or low as you can go and hold the pose for five to eight breaths. Inhale and exhale deeply.
Always find time to do things that bring you joy and make you sparkle 
Cat Cow
The Cat Cow position helps to relieve back pain and it keeps your spine flexible throughout your pregnancy. Go down on a mat on your hands and knees and move the pelvis forwards and backwards whilst arching and rounding the back. The wrists are under your shoulders and your knees are under your hips. Do this move for about 30 seconds.
Standing Pose
Stand straight and start with your arms down the side of your body and as you inhale reaching them out and up and over your head. Exhale lower them back down towards the side of your body. The inhale should be four counts on the way up and exhale four counts on the way down. Try to do this six to eight times, especially if you sit at a desk all day. It will help your posture and the breathing will help to relieve any stress.

]]>Seated Bound Angle Fold
Sit on your bed/floor and bring the soles of your feet together, letting your knees fall to the sides. Breath deeply and lift your chest, exhale and fold over your legs, and extend your arms forward if it’s comfortable. Hold for 2-3 minutes.
. . Day 2⃣ Resolute to release what does not serve any more — Any Hip Opener
. . While we keep physically expunging our closets and living spaces to create space for new and more helpful things, our mental space keeps getting shrouded with painful regrets, feelings of frustration and painful memories – all of which in my case is associated with the tragic and sudden loss of my mom that I am still to come to terms with fully. . . All the emotional pain that it caused me, most of which I suppressed because I was too bruised to deal with it for a long time seemed to have found a physical manifestation in my life and it was only through practice of acceptance and gratitude that I have found the strength to carry on untethered. . . So the practice of releasing what does not serve me anymore is more of an ongoing process for me and I intend to keep up with it by realigning with the joys of life and choosing to be happy every day, if not all the time. . . I went with my favourite hip opener Baddha Konasana for today's post and added a little twist to it with prayer hands 
Fresh start hosts
Happy Baby
Lie on your back, lift your legs up in the air and then bend your knees towards your armpits. Grab the outside edges of your feet with your hands, soles flat towards the ceiling and lower back on the bed/floor. Hold for 2 minutes.
Supine Bound Angle
If you store stress in your hips, or you have a lack of mobility in that area, this is a good one for you. Lie on your back and bring the soles of your feet together, letting your knees fall to the side. Rest your arms by your sides and your palms facing the ceiling. Hold for 3-4 minutes.

Supine Twist
Lie on your back and bring your knees in towards your chest. Lower both knees to the right side of your body and extend both arms out, keeping both shoulders on the floor. Hold for 2 minutes. Return to the starting position and repeat on the other side for another 2 minutes.
Practice every day doesn’t mean to be on the mat for 2 hours every single time. Before I used to skip practice when I had less than 1 hour available because I thought it wasn’t enough to call it practice. As a result, I used to get pissed at myself because I was not practicing and pissed at the universe because it didn’t give me enough time. Now I am learning that 10 minutes might be less effective than 60 but they are definitely more productive than 0. I know I am not saying anything new here, but for an obsessive perfectionist like I was this reality was hard to accept but incredibly liberating once I started to apply it.

]]>Half Pigeon
Half-pigeon is one of the most popular hip-opening poses. The best way to start is in a lunging position, from which you go completely down on the floor. Your leg in the back should be straight, resting, while the one in the front should be bent at the knee.
Blessed. I so relate to B.K.S Iyengar's words when he says that "yoga allows you to find a new kind of freedom that you may not have known even existed.” . 
Merci beaucoup @jayreilly.photo for capturing those moments . . . #halfpigeonpose #blessedmoments #yogalifestyle #bodymindspirit #innerpower #yogalife #yogajourney #freeyourmind #yogaflow #vinyasayoga #vinyasaflow #beachyoga #yogaeverydamday #yogaeverywhere #yogaislife #yogabalance #yogapostures #natureetyoga #yogaphotography #yogapractice #yogapose #iyengaryoga #iyengarquote #yogaquote #yogastrech #yogasandiegoFrog Pose
The frog pose is one of the best ways to open your hips and move your inner thighs. It’s definitely not an easy pose and you’ll feel a slight stretch while doing it. Start on your palms and knees, then lower your hips towards the floor.
Mandukasana or Frog Pose, invites us to sit and listen. 
Only 30sec per day in this pose will help you a lot! In time and with practice, the asana helps us find stillness and tap into our intuition like a frog. 
N I N A Eagle Pose
Start by standing on both feet with slightly bent knees. Cross your left leg over the right one, with your left foot behind your right calf. Cross your hands as well and press your palms together.
Camel Pose
Place your knees on the floor, hip-width apart. Bend backward, with your arms facing towards your feet. Stay in this position for half a minute.

]]>Happy Baby Pose
The happy baby pose will do exactly what it says in its name. This is a simple exercise that will relax your neck, therefore release the tension and improve the blood flow. You will feel instantly better and refreshed. A great alternative is to do small swings to the right and to the left.
. . It’s officially #stretchtime, and I happily join @t_om_ma_h, @arcierojoe, and @adam_earthdominion in happy baby pose 
for #yogisstretchmonday. 
After that backbend earlier this morning it was important to massage the spine to keep it fluid.
