“The practice of āsana brings the body to a state of stability, gives freedom from disease, and brings lightness to one’s very being.” H.P I, 17

Here are a few of the ways one might work with shoulder and neck issues in various supported asana. Which of these do you find most challenging? Let us know in the comments and we’ll share some thoughts in a video! 👇

Curious about Yoga but not sure where to begin? Join our 6-Week Beginner Yoga series starting next week, with a focus on the neck and shoulders! Thursdays 7pm

This series will explore a new family of poses each week, including standing, inverted, back extensions and restorative asana (postures). The focus will be on correct posture and specific actions of the arms and spine. Our studio is well equipped with props that make yoga accessible to all.

We explored our nervous system responses while doing hard things this weekend! Iyengar yoga is so rich in precision and depth that it makes challenging things accessible. Yoga truly is for all, and we’re grateful for our excellent teachers for illuminating the path.

Here we’re working on Eka hasta bhujasana (can you spot Julia - Iyengar Yoga + Massage with her tongue out?😝). It’s a fact that doing so makes the asana easier. Or so she says.

Then we explored Akarna Dhanurasana, archer’s pose or “to the ear bow pose”, where you gracefully pull back and extend the leg like trained archer discharging an arrow. “Shoot the arrow “ as 𝑺𝒌𝒚𝒍𝒆𝒓 𝑪𝒉𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒔𝒆𝒏 says ✨🙏👏

Sometimes you just need a little assist to do something you’ve never done before! 💪🙏✨
This weekend Brian got his handstand 👏 We love to see it! As always, practice under the guidance of a competent teacher. We absolutely loved the workshops with the Community Yoga - Lisa Waas community under excellent teaching from 𝑺𝒌𝒚𝒍𝒆𝒓 𝑪𝒉𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒔𝒆𝒏 and can’t wait for next time!

We love seeing our Yoga Shed community enjoying their practice in nature! Brian recently went to Puerto Rico to pick up his new surfboard from a local shaper Here he’s enjoying a little meditation by the water after a hike ❤️✨
