yoginitara: I adore how this pose feels in my body. Here’s how to get the most out of it, safely and powerfully: Safety point: stack the knee above the ankle. Lower hips until hip flexors (psoas muscles) stretch deeply. Play the edge: stretch deep without pushing past your comfortable limit. Lift the pit of your belly. Those deep muscles right above your pubic bone? Engage them to protect your low back as you lean back. You don’t wanna crunch in the spine, keep it tall! Another way to put it: lift the belly away from the thigh so you create space AND to really engage those quads! Lift through ribs and open up the chest. Integrate arms into shoulders while you squeeze elbows straight! Look skyward only if it’s okay with the neck. Another option is to reach the arms up rather than back and engage your drishti, your gaze, on your thumbs, keeping your eyes locked on them the whole way into and back out of the pose. A safety point—and a good way to build strength into the stretch—is to reach hips down as you simultaneously scissor your knees towards one another. Two opposite motions in harmony in one pose. …breathe. :)

lenaedeja: kkdas: fuckyeahyoga: Breath is the power behind all things. Your breath doesn’t know how old you are; it doesn’t know what you can’t do. If I’m feeling puzzled or my mind is telling me that I’m not capable of something, I breathe in and I know that good things will happen.  Tao Porchon-Lynch, yoga instructor, age 94 I love this beautiful woman..a shining star in the midst of a youth obsessed world.. amazing.

Praying for those in Boston today. For those in Iraq where 20 bombs were set off today. Praying for the 29 that were killed in Somalia because of a bomb set off yesterday. Praying for the thousands of innocent victims of U.S. drones in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Yemen, Somalia. Praying for everyone. Praying for this whole world. Because every life matters and because they are all equally important.
