POTD (pose of the day)
🧵 Thread the Needle Pose
An easy, grounding twist that releases tension in the shoulders, neck, and upper back, perfect for slowing down and resetting your body 🤍

🧘‍♀️ How to do the pose (Directions)
Start in Tabletop (hands under shoulders, knees under hips)
Inhale, reach your right arm up toward the sky 🌬️
Exhale, “thread” your right arm underneath your body
Lower your right shoulder and the side of your head to the mat
Keep your hips lifted over your knees
Stay for 5–10 breaths, then switch sides

📐 Alignment (Do It Well)
✨ Keep your hips stacked over your knees (don’t let them drift back)
✨ Press gently into your grounded hand for stability
✨ Avoid dumping weight into your neck, support through your shoulder
✨ Let the twist come from your upper back, not your lower back
✨ Use a block or blanket under your head/shoulder for support if needed

🌿 Benefits (Why Practice It)
💆‍♀️ Releases tension in shoulders, neck, and upper back
🌬️ Encourages deep, steady breathing
🧠 Calms the nervous system (great for stress + anxiety)
🌀 Improves spinal mobility through gentle rotation
💤 Prepares the body for rest, great before savasana or sleep

Pose of the Day:
Ardhasana "Half Pose"

A modification of "founder's pose" from foundation training, this posture focuses on posterior chain engagement. Here are the three things we want to share with you about Half Pose:
1. A strong back is a strong body! 💪😤
2. This position (slightly less deep) is great to practice while brushing your teeth😬
3. Learning to load the posterior chain is the first and most important step to attaining great posture and preventing spine injuries or degeneration. ⛓

How to do the pose:
Stand with your feet shoulder distance apart
Place your heels behind your second/third toes
Bring your hands together at the fingertips
Bend your knees slightly and lift through your chest
With a long spine, hinge forward at your hips until you feel a stretch/engagement in your hamstrings
Reach your hands forward as you you reach your hips back
Lift up through your hands as you engage your back muscles

Key alignment points:
Root evenly through your feet
Lift through the inner arches of your feet
Roll your inner thighs backward and lift through your sit bones
Engage your pelvic floor and lower abs (mulabandha)
Shoulders soften away from ears
Lengthen the back of your neck and lift through the back of your head

Enjoy!!! this one is a gem💎

🕉️ Yoga Sutra 1.18

Sanskrit:
विरामप्रत्ययाभ्यासपूर्वः संस्कारशेषोऽन्यः

Transliteration:
virāma-pratyaya-abhyāsa-pūrvaḥ saṃskāra-śeṣo ’nyaḥ

Translation:
The other samadhi (asamprajñāta) arises through practice of cessation, leaving only latent impressions.

Commentary:
Here, even subtle awareness dissolves. Thought stops. Only deep latent impressions remain.

This is meditation beyond effort. Beyond object. Beyond “doing.”

🌌 Silence
🌌 Stillness
🌌 Pure potential

Yoga ultimately leads us beyond the mind.

🕉️ Yoga Sutra 1.17

Sanskrit:
वितर्कविचारानन्दास्मितारूपानुगमात् सम्प्रज्ञातः

Transliteration:
vitarka-vicāra-ānanda-asmitā-rūpa-anugamāt samprajñātaḥ

Translation:
Cognitive (samprajñāta) samadhi is accompanied by reasoning, reflection, bliss, and sense of “I-am-ness.”

Commentary:
This is meditation with awareness still present. The mind becomes refined — moving from gross thought to subtle joy and pure being.

🧠 From thinking
💫 To subtle reflection
😊 To bliss
🪞 To pure I-am awareness

Stillness deepens in stages.

✨

🕉️ Yoga Sutra 1.16

Sanskrit:
तत्परं पुरुषख्यातेर्गुणवैतृष्ण्यम्

Transliteration:
tat paraṁ puruṣa-khyāter guṇa-vaitṛṣṇyam

Translation:
Supreme dispassion arises from direct knowledge of the Self, leading to freedom from the gunas.

Commentary:
When we truly recognize our deeper nature (Purusha), even attachment to pleasure, achievement, or identity dissolves.

This is higher vairāgya — not just detachment from objects, but from the forces of nature themselves.

🕊️ You are not your moods
🕊️ You are not your roles
🕊️ You are awareness itself

🕉️

Discover the perfect blend of tranquility and gentle movement in our Relaxing Movement and Meditation class, conducted entirely on the floor with ample opportunities for stretching. All levels are warmly welcome to join us, and it's worth noting that this class incorporates a significant amount of floor-based, gentle stretching.

Transition into the deeply rejuvenating practice of Yoga Nidra, inducing profound relaxation, relieving stress, and promoting mental clarity. This unique fusion class strikes a harmonious balance between gentle movement and profound relaxation, leaving you energized and profoundly rested. It's a holistic journey of healing, renewal, and self-care, and you're invited to bring your comfortable blankets and props to enhance your comfort and experience.

🕉️ Yoga Sutra 1.15

Sanskrit:
दृष्टानुश्रविकविषयवितृष्णस्य वशीकारसंज्ञा वैराग्यम्

Transliteration:
dṛṣṭānuśravika-viṣaya-vitṛṣṇasya vaśīkāra-saṃjñā vairāgyam

Translation:
Dispassion is mastery over desire for things seen or heard about.

Commentary:
Vairāgya is not suppression. It is freedom from craving. When we are no longer pulled by what we see or what we’re told will make us happy, we reclaim our power.

🌿 Freedom from grasping
🌿 Freedom from chasing
🌿 Freedom from needing

That is inner strength.
