I’ve been planning a #visvamitrasana (not the picture ya... but... that’s the drill to get us there 😬) class for some time in my head but urgh... thanks to my ankle mishap... I don’t think I will be able to get into it anytime soon. But hey hey hey hey hey!!!! I’m actually looking forward to come up with a bomb class plan w visvamitra as my peak pose in January 2019 just so I can close the flow that’s been in my head for months! Heal faster ankle! #collateralpractice @cyogalife

Sage visvamitra #sundayyoga

This #latepost is related to the post on Visvamitrasana (Pose Dedicated To The Sage Visvamitra/Flying Warrior). Pose: [Sanskrit] Baddha Parsvakonasana [English] Bound Side Angle Pose. In my previous post, I stated the importance of gaining strength and stability in the Anchor-leg (left-leg). In this short video, I take a moment to align the outer-left-side of my torso (upper-body) with the outer-left-leg, be keeping my left-arm straight and strong, actively reaching out from my left-shoulder, as if my left-elbow does not exist. I press firmly this active left-arm against my outer-left-side while simultaneously pressing back - thus, the effect of the left-arm and the outer-left-side of the body pressing against each other at the same time. Keeping the Anchor-leg powerfully engaged - 1. Left-foot pressed firmly down and away against the ground (to get this action, it is as if one is standing on a mat, and the Back-anchor-foot is pressing deeply down into the mat and also wanting to stretch the mat longer like tearing it apart against the Front-anchor-foot). 2. The front-left-thigh pushes back, as the glutes (buttocks) resist forward, and as the inner-left-thigh drives away from the mid-line, the outer-left-thigh squeezes in strongly towards the mid-line (as if squeezing in towards a stability-ball). #yoga #yogapose #yogatips #yogawithjamiliyana #yogisofinstagram #malaysianyogis #nofilter #fitmalaysia #fitfam #fitness #instafit #instayoga
