Yoga on my mat

in yoga •  7 years ago 

Sometimes I practice yoga on my yoga mat too 😹. Actually, I practice on my mat six days a week. A lot of the yoga pictures I take are on random places, but the real work happens here. I'm generally a home practioner, but this image was captured at Renegade Yoga in Knoxville (if you're ever here and love yoga you just have to stop by). It is a special day when I can practice at the studio with my teacher. image

How i imagine myself trying yoga:

😹

Seem like extreme sport. Nice pic..

Man I need some inspiration I'm slacking in my practice. Need to do each day. I go to a class one a week, pushing myself this week

Best way to get inspired is to get on your mat and just do it.

Just keep it up! You have the form, strive for improvement, go go go @pretzelgirlsandy! ^u^

oh WOW! That's some insane flexibility right there! How long have you been doing Yoga?

About six years... but I was a dancer first. Between dance and yoga I have 28 years of experience;)

Nice

wow! How is that even possible?! Is your leg going over the top of your head first?

Yes I had to put my leg just behind my head for over a decade before I gained the flexibility to put it under my shoulder. There's still days where my lower back is too stiff to safely complete the asana. Those days are getting fewer and fewer

I'm very impressed!

I have an Indian friend who lives near to me, is a learner of power yoga, and he can do Mayuraasan, shirsaasana, and many more. I am trying a few for my knee pain, which seems to be weak.
It is really amazing to see you in such a diffiucult pose(for me.) Thanks for sharing!
