Celebrate your Victories ๐
So much I hear students said:
๐ โI can only hold Bakasana for a few secondsโ.
๐ โI still feel so stiff in my shoulders in Urdhva Dhanurasanaโ.
What they forgot is they have gone from 1-second hold to 5 seconds hold, or they werenโt even able to push up to Wheel a few months ago!

I have been returning to teaching since April and I cannot tell you how much progress I have seen in MANY OF YOU and I want you to acknowledge that, and to appreciate your effort and commitment, and CELEBRATE YOUR WINS. ๐๐๐

Even an extra second, and extra inch, take a moment to reflect on the positive feeling of success in your body and be proud of yourself.
Focus on how your body feels.
Instead of thinking about poses, think about how you feel about your body.
Maybe your shoulders are feeling stronger; your lower back is having less stress in your backbends. Or that you can regulate your breath better in a vinyasa class.
I am here to celebrate your wins with you. ๐ฅณ
All the standing poses that you have refined your alignments in, all the skills and techniques you have learned the arm balances, backbends, and inversions.
Now you just have to trust that your body has embodied the practice from your ๐๐ข๐ข๐ ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ธ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ง ๐๐ข ๐๐ง. ๐
We will work on further refinements and taking the poses beyond.
