My Advanced Yoga Practice and Journey
This gallery is a glimpse into my personal daily discipline. It is where I find my strength, my balance, and my sanity, especially amidst the beautiful chaos of motherhood.
Your breath and your practice are your real teachers. Here, I'm exploring a variation of Pincha Mayurasana (forearm stand). This pose requires immense focus and a deep connection to the breath to find balance.
The way you love is who you are. For me, love is showing up on the mat, even when it's hard. This tuck handstand is a result of consistent practice and a love for the journey.
Working on my handstand scorpion against the wall. Using the wall as a prop is a safe way to build strength and confidence in inversions. It's all about progress, not perfection.
Another look at the handstand scorpion drill. This pose is a deep backbend and an inversion, requiring both shoulder flexibility and core strength. Every morning is an opportunity to do something you love.
This is a wall drill for dropping back from a handstand into a wheel pose (Urdhva Dhanurasana). It's an advanced transition that I've been working on to build control and back strength.
If I miss the boat, it wasn't my boat. This is my mantra for my practice and for life. This sequence, moving into a lotus variation in a forearm stand, is a reminder to trust the process and let go of the outcome.
The same asana, but with different entries. Exploring various ways to enter Pincha Mayurasana, like a single leg press or a pike jump, keeps the practice interesting and challenging. Each entry offers a different experience.
About this collection
Many ask why I practice intense inversions like Pincha Mayurasana while focusing on prenatal or postpartum yoga. It is not just about the pose itself. My own practice builds the deep core stability and shoulder strength I need to offer precise, safe, and knowledgeable adjustments for your specific trimester or recovery stage. When you train with me, you are getting the benefit of a teacher who is constantly testing and strengthening her own body to better support yours.
While the images here showcase my advanced asana practice, including variations of Pincha Mayurasana and Urdhva Dhanurasana (wheel pose), my teaching philosophy is rooted in something much simpler: Kaizen, or constant, small progress. I believe that whether you are doing a deep backbend or just learning to breathe through a stressful moment as a new parent, the intention matters more than the shape.
My journey is deeply informed by my life as a mom to two boys and a traveler. My mat is my sanctuary—it is where I practice the discipline of showing up, even on the days I am exhausted. I bring this same reality-based approach to my online sessions. In my private coaching, we focus on what your body actually needs right now, not what a textbook says it should do. This involves:
- Safe Adaptations: Using props and modifications to ensure every movement is gentle on your joints and safe for your specific health needs.
- Breath-Centered Movement: Integrating pranayama to help manage anxiety and sleep patterns.
- Functional Strength: Rebuilding core and pelvic floor health for postpartum recovery, or managing aches during pregnancy.
I live by the principle of 'Santosh Param Sukham', which translates to 'contentment is the ultimate happiness'. We move away from the pressure to look perfect or hit a specific milestone. Instead, we focus on building a practice that fits into your life—pajamas, interruptions, and all. If you are looking for a guide who understands that yoga is a lifelong journey of self-discovery rather than a race to the perfect handstand, let us connect and start your practice.
