Day 12 of the #wildlove30days yoga challenge! Cobra pose is a gorgeous posture that will introduce you to the world of backbends, we take our time to open the heart while strengthening the back body.

Wonderful for connecting to the heart chakra, grounding and releasing lower back pain

DAY 11 - Plank Pose #wildlove30days
Day 11 of the #wildlove30days yoga challenge Plank Pose - Kumbhakasana or Phalakasana Starting in a table top position align the shoulders over the wrists, press the floor away and allow the upper back to broaden (the video tutorial is so good for this one). On an exhale hug your lower ribs in and draw your belly button in towards the spine. If you feel strong and engaged this can actually be your plank posture. Moving a little deeper with the knees still on the floor walk th

DAY 8 - Seated Forward Fold #wildlove30days
Day 8 of the #wildlove30days yoga challenge Janu Sirsasana has always been a posture that I find myself in, its full variation (with both legs straight) has been my all time favourite, now this doesn't mean I have always been able to do it, because I haven't! I couldn't touch my shins let alone my toes when I started to do yoga, it's the practice and dedication that will move you deeper over time. This is a posture that calms the mind, you can withdraw from the space around y

DAY 7 - Boat Pose #wildlove30days
Day 7 of the #wildlove30days yoga challenge! Boat pose, the posture that everyone loves to hate even faithful Ashtangis may be willing to skip one of these in their practice! BUT we don't skip it, we don't avoid it and we certainly need to face it head on. As boat pose is a core posture it connects to the Solar Plexus chakra. This energy is all about motivation, will power, inner strength and facing problems head on, sound familiar? Core strength not only makes our body incre

Day 6 of the #wildlove30days yoga challenge! Triangle pose is a posture that strengthens the legs, opens the hips and side body and requires a fair amount of focus and balance! Enjoy opening the body within this standing posture, find spaciousness across the chest and stay open! Pose: Triangle Pose - Trikonasana 1. Starting from standing step back with the right foot. Part the feet 3 quarters width of the mat, much like our wide leg forward fold! Rotate the left toes towards

DAY 5 - Wide leg forward fold #wildlove30days
DAY 5 of the #Wildlove30days yoga challenge 🌿 Moving into the realms of hip flexibility, leg strength and balance, this is a posture that takes time and not only builds strength and flexibility but helps us connect to patience and acceptance. Each day our bodies (and minds!) will fluctuate and its important to honour the postures we find the most difficult, for me this posture was a pose that I found so incredibly hard and difficult, with time, patience and kindness my body

DAY 4 - Tree Pose #wildlove30days
DAY 4 of the #Wildlove30days yoga challenge 🌿 A familiar balancing posture that will help strengthen the legs and feet but also help you gain more clarity within the mind. Balances bring poise and grace to the body but their benefits are much deeper, by working on our balance it allows us to have a one pointed focus, this in turn brings us into the present moment and nowhere else! Tree Pose - Vrksasana 1. From a standing position, part the feet hip distance, gently lean the

DAY 3 - Butterfly Pose #wildlove30days
Day 3 of the #wildlove30days yoga challenge! Butterfly posture will always be a posture that I include in any practice, even if I practice for 10 minutes this would be in there somewhere! Did you know you can do this in a passive way lying in bed? Follow the guidance below but in a reclined position, it's so lovely to release the hips and lower back before bed. This is a posture that opens the hips but can be very therapeutic for reproductive health and menstruation. It also

DAY 2 - Downward Facing Dog #wildlove30days
Day 2 of the #wildlove30days yoga challenge! As strong posture that builds strength within the upper body, its lengthens the arms, legs and side body and is also a happy and healthy inversion. This posture can be found as a pausing place to tune back into the breath and also the halfway point for many sequence classes. Downward Facing Dog - Adho Mukha Svanasana 1. Starting in a table top position, wrists under the shoulders and knees under the hips. Spread the fingers wide an
