➡️ We so often self-doubt ourselves. ➡️ We fall into the well of self-sabotage. ➡️ We think we don’t deserve it. ➡️ We told ourselves we aren’t good enough. ➡️ We told ourselves no one cares.

Next time,

✨When you think you don’t deserve that opportunity you are offered, take it anyways.

✨ When you think your post/picture/video is not good enough, publish it anyways.

✨When you think your students may not like it, teach it anyways.

Always have fear teaching Chaturanga. Just finished the second week of 𝙎𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙐𝙥𝙥𝙚𝙧 𝘽𝙖𝙘𝙠 𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨 in 𝘼𝙡𝙞𝙜𝙣𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙘𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙨 focusing on actions in Chaturanga.

I was thinking, “Maybe no one will come.” 🫢

It was silly. It was just me overthinking myself into self-rejection.

Turns out, only T-Rex 🦖 hates Chaturanga. T-Rex 🦖 is scary. Chaturanga is not. 😅

And, you are welcome. 😊

Sirsasana II (Tripod Headstand), is Inversion with Chaturanga arms.

In 𝗔𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝟮, we will focus on the same theme but will explore more challenging asanas and transitions including arm balances, backbends, and inversions with Chaturanga actions.

This Tripod into Parsva Kukkutasana variation looks scary. It’s tripod + lotus + twist + transition. It’s a lot of things. But it’s also many things that you already knew, and putting them together.

Don’t worry. Stay open. Be curious. See what happens.

P.S. Looking at my arms in the photo in Chaturanga, my hands can move back a little more. And the tripod headstand, the elbows can hug in a little more. No, it’s not that great, but damn I am posting it. 😅
