Today's tutorial theme is "home practice."
.
For many of us, especially now, during these uncertain times, is the only way we can practice Yoga 🧘🏻‍♂️
.
Yoga studios are closed and we had no choice but to turn to home practice, which is absolutely fine, though not so easy. In fact, we don't have a teacher adjusting our alignment or deepening us into poses. .
A great tool to spot our mistakes can be filming our practice and to watch the video afterwards.
Personally, I do it often, so I can spot missed alignments, and I correct them.
.
Home practice DIY adjustments.
If your downward facing dog looks like the top picture on your left-hand side
.
Try to:
❗INHALE
▶️ Gaze between the hands
▶️ Push the tailbone
▶️ Elongate the spine, really stretched
▶️ Long relaxed neck
▶️ Rotate the shoulders back and push them away from the ears
▶️ Rotate the arms outward
▶️ Press the knuckles on the mat. Especially the index finger ones
▶️ Belly sucked in
▶️ Straight or slightly bend legs, as long as the heels are planted on the mat
.
❗Then, EXHALE
▶️ Shift the gaze to the navel
▶️ Press the floor away
And breathe five times

Nothing is more memorable than a smell and for me, Sunday mornings have the sweetest of the scents.

It is said that when we hit the ground the only way is up, we don't have to stay there, and if we survive, there are really a few things in life that will scare us.
.
More than once I was there, and I am still here, with scars, memories and proud of myself. We are stronger than we think.

Today’s tutorial is focusing on Bakasana, the father of all arm balances.
.
When I first started practising arm balances, I was terrified and terribly weak. However, as always, practice makes things happen.
.
Many will tell you that the key of arm balances are strong core. That is true, but only if you already have strong hands and wrists.
The key to arm balances are STRONG WRISTS.
.
The first time I tried Bakasana I face and belly planted on the floor, my wrists weren’t strong enough to hold me.
.
Here, I am showing how to gently strengthen your wrists:
.
1 Start from a Crow pose (Kakasana) shape with one foot on the floor and the other one lifted. Repeat both sides. Breath x 5 Times each side
.
2 Place 2 Yoga blocks underneath your shoulders and evenly distribute your body weight between the blocks and your hands
.
3 Place 1 Yoga block underneath your forehead and evenly distribute your body weight between the blocks and your hands
.
4 Try this one only when you are strong enough. Place 2 Yoga Blocks behind you and place on top of your feet. Lift them one at a time.
.
Practice Malasana every day for the flexibility necessary to place your knees inside your armpits.
.
VERY IMPORTANT: If you feel pains of any sort at your wrists back off, and try tomorrow. You should never push your wrists

Trending Pets adoption during the lockdown.
.
Pets are for life, not just for coronavirus.
.
Owning a pet is expensive and it is a great responsibility. Don't break a tiny creature heart, if you aren't sure you will be able to keep him/she after the Coranavirus.
.
Some shelters, here in the UK, have stopped rehoming dogs and cats, only allowing foster care.
