What happens when you are practicing a handstand, but realise you'd much rather be practicing Astavakrasana?

#yoga #handstand #astavakrasana

Funky transition for the win!

Press from Funky Flying Crow into Funky Pincha, and finish by lowering via a hybrid of Crow and Baby Crow to Funky Astavakrasana - this flow is all about playful strength and control.

What’s your favourite way to mix things up on the mat?

This is the British equivalent of a sun-kissed, bikini-clad, beach yoga reel on Instagram.

#yoga #vrishchikasana

Transition from Vrishchikasana to Bakasana. It's fun because a switch from spinal extension to spinal flexion is required mid-air.

Halloween zombie-pressing headstanding shenanigans.

Funky Pincha Mayurasana and Sayanasana don't often show up in yoga vinyasa classes.

This flow was a test of strength, focus and discipline. Tapas. The fire was definitely burning - inside and out - and maybe more in the elbows than I might choose.

Where is your tapas showing up today?

What would happen if you slowed down?

In our fast paced world, yoga reminds us that mastery doesn't come from speed - it comes from mindfulness and presence.

By going slow, what will you unlock on the mat. And, what about off the mat?

#yoga #handstand

This transition is a practice in sthira (stability) and sukha (ease). The strength to lift comes from grounding, the control to lower comes from trust.

Balance doesn't come from forced movement. It comes from finding steadiness in the transition, staying present, staying patient.

#yoga #sirsasana

Pike entry to Bound Headstand is a dance of balance over strength. Control comes from Tapas, dedicated practice and discipline, but lightness comes from Santosha, contentment and trust in the process.

Yoga isn't about mastering a pose. It's mastering the mind that approaches it.

This was today's Sunday morning practice, with some Flying Lizard (Uddayana Uttana Pristhasana) fun.

My message here is to make your practice your own. You know what you need in the moment, you know you, so give yourself permission to listen to yourself and act on what you hear.

From the ground up - a tuck press to handstand, lowering into Koundinyasana II. It’s all about consistent effort and joyful exploration.

Commitment to practice doesn't mean perfection; it means showing up, falling, learning and then rising stronger.

#yoga #handstand

Sometimes the biggest leaps start from a place of grounding. From downward-facing dog to Koundinyasana-B.

Arm balances are about trust, focus, and persistence. Each wobble teaches balance, each fall builds resilience and each hold is a celebration of progress.

Commit to the practice.
