Day 15: #24yogaposestochristmas: Eka Pada Vasisthasana: one leg side plank. . . . Call me crazy, but I love side plank. 💪🏼 no joking, no sarcasm, it’s one of my favorite strength conditioning poses. . . #yogainspiration #cityscape #shanghai #yogachallenge #strength #yogalife

Day 14: (14 is my favorite number 🤩) #24yogaposestochristmas Vriksasana: tree pose 🎄🎄🎄 Find your drishti. Now close your eyes. Balance. Breathe. Stillness. . . . I love tree pose. I love feeling the ground beneath my feet and closing my eyes. The first time I closed my eyes and found steadiness in this pose was during sunrise yoga near the Ganges River. The peace I felt... is the same peace I return to when I close my eyes. . . #practiceyogachangeyourworld #yogainspiration #iwasmadeforsunnydays #shanghai #yogaeverywhere

Day 13: #24yogaposestochristmas Garudasana: eagle pose . . Have you ever seen a bald eagle fly in the blue sky? It’s a glorious sight. A bald eagle symbolizes freedom. It is free to fly with the best vantage point- above the world 🦅 I love looking below, above the bustling city, or teal crystal clear ocean waves, above rolling hills or prairie lands. 🌄 Usually looking from my window seat on a plane, but sometimes from a rooftop... I find it peaceful, watching the world go about it’s busy-ness, and I am still... 🧘🏽‍♀️ . . #yogaeveryday #yogainspiration #iwasmadeforsunnydays #twisted #eagle #garudasana #yogachallenge #bluesky #shanghai #cityscape

Day 12: #24yogaposestochristmas hanumanasana: monkey pose, [upside down variation] 🐒 . . Split second split handstand. . . I found this bit of inspiration... “Your body can do it. It’s your mind you need to convince.” . The very meaning behind this pose is overcoming obstacles as in the ancient India myth of the Warrior Hanuman making a great leap of love and devotion to accomplish impossible tasks. 💭 full story: @yogajournal https://www.yogajournal.com/practice/asana-column-hanumanasana . . I did it. 💥 I convinced myself I could gain the strength to stand on my hands. And do the splits. If even for a second, you can too. 🤸🏽‍♂️🌟 . . 📸: @fannykbk Wearing: @aloyoga Goddess leggings and Tuscan sun ☀️ . #practiceyogachangeyourworld #yogainspiration #trusttheprocess #handstand #splits #yogachallenge #yogaeveryday #practiceandalliscoming #shanghai #iwasmadeforsunnydays

Day 11: #24yogaposestochristmas Utthan Pristhasana: Lizard pose [variation] 🦎 . “Yoga is not only a process of the integration of the soul, mind, and body for self-improvement, it is a process of self -realization and self -acceptance.” -Debasish Mridha . And the colors of emotion are just as vibrant as this background. This intense stretch intensifies and resurfaces emotions...but with each inhale and exhale I find peace. How do you find peace in a pose... in life?☮️ ... . 📸: @fannykbk Wearing cozy comfy @aloyoga . . #practiceyogachangeyourworld #yogainspiration #trusttheprocess #lizard #artdistrict #shanghai #cityscape #yogaeveryday #peace #practiceandalliscoming #aloyoga

Day 10: #24yogaposestochristmas Urdhva Dhanurasana: Wheel pose. . . I’ve been re-practicing my drop backs for a year or two now. There was a time I rushed the process and landed too hard on my wrists, causing strain in my lower back when I landed, so I stopped for a while. Now I’m trusting the slow process to gain control as I drop. . Some people are fearless and drop backs come so easy for them. But my mind is filled with doubt- what if I hurt myself again? What if I fall? ... Drop backs are testing my fears... but slowly I trust... I trust my own strength and coordination and slowly I gain depth, perspective, and peace as I bend back. Finding the fire in my legs and fire in my soul. 🔥 . . “There is freedom waiting for you, On the breezes of the sky, And you ask "What if I fall?" Oh but my darling, What if you fly?” ― Erin Hanson . . ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ #practiceyogachangeyourworld #yogainspiration #cityscape #fallinloveagain #dropback #yogachallenge #aloyoga #trusttheprocess #yogajourney #yogaeverywhere #yogaeveryday #focus #yogalife
