Maṇḍalāsana and I have been arguing for quite some time… Today, I finally sorted it out! Watch the video to the end 😮‍💨🔥☺️

I have my friend @arethanadine to blame for introducing me to this pose! 😂🙏💜

A small change in the position of your palms can make a big difference to your shoulders and back.

Try these simple hand variations in the concave versions of Adho Mukha Śvānāsana and Prasārita Pādottānāsana — you may be pleasantly surprised by how much more easily your head moves towards the floor, especially if this is usually challenging for you.

In Prasārita Pādottānāsana, I even needed to place a brick under each foot to create more space! 🤗🙏💜

My daily Iyengar Yoga practice is never quite the same. It changes according to what I need that day. Yet afterwards, I always feel reset, with clearer thoughts and a better mindset. And that’s the main reason I keep coming back to my mat. 🙏💜

Here’s yesterday practice using a trestle and a high stool. The Uttāna Pādāsana variation is inspired by work we did with Lois Steinberg during her wonderful Yoga Therapy Intensive in Ravenna. Thank you, @lois_steinberg 🙏

🧘 Navasana (Boat Pose) Benefits

Navasana, also known as Boat Pose, is a yoga asana that strengthens the core, improves balance, and develops muscular endurance.

💪 Top 8 Benefits of Navasana

* Strengthens core muscles — Engages the abdominal muscles, including the rectus abdominis and deeper core stabilizers.
* Improves balance — Develops stability and body control while balancing on the sitting bones.
* Strengthens hip flexors — Works the muscles that help lift and hold the legs.
* Builds spinal endurance — Trains the trunk muscles to maintain an upright posture.
* Improves concentration — Requires focus, coordination, and controlled breathing.
* Develops muscular endurance — Helps build the ability to sustain core muscle contractions.
* Supports better posture — Strengthens muscles that help maintain an upright trunk.
* Enhances body awareness — Improves coordination between the trunk, hips, and legs.

🔥 Muscles Worked

Abdominal muscles

Mainly the rectus abdominis and deep core muscles.

Hip flexors

Help lift and hold the legs in position.

Back muscles

Help maintain an upright torso.

🧘 How to Practice Navasana

* Sit on the floor with your knees bent and feet flat.
* Keep your spine long and chest lifted.
* Lean back slightly while maintaining a straight back.
* Lift your feet, keeping your knees bent initially.
* Extend your legs as your strength and balance allow.
* Extend your arms forward, parallel to the floor.
* Breathe normally and hold for 10–30 seconds.
* Lower your feet gently and relax.

Beginner tip: Keep your knees bent or hold the backs of your thighs for support.

Caution: Avoid forcing the pose if you experience lower-back pain. Modify it if you have a back injury, and consult a qualified professional if you are pregnant or have a relevant medical condition.

Important: Navasana strengthens the core, but it does not specifically burn belly fat. Fat loss depends on overall energy balance, nutrition, and physical activity.#yoga #viral #trending #fitness #follow

The key principle:-
Flexibility allows you to enter a yoga posture; strength and conditioning help you control, stabilize, and sustain it.
A balanced yoga practice should develop both strength and flexibility, along with balance, mobility, breathing, and relaxation. Not every yoga style provides the same conditioning stimulus, so additional resistance training may be useful depending on the practitioner’s goals.
For yoga teachers and fitness trainers: the goal is not simply to help students achieve a deeper pose, but to help them develop the strength and control to practise that pose safely and effectively.#yoga #trending #viral #fitnessmotivation #fitness

Props have a very specific purpose.

Here I am using two belts to provide support and stability around the pelvis and open that region. By crossing them at the front, you can also create resistance during twists, which can help facilitate and refine the movement.

I’ve been working like this a lot recently for my lower back and scoliosis. And remember that use of props is always a tailor-made process so ask advise to your teacher 🤗🫶🏻

Sometimes a prop is not there to make an āsana easier, but to change the way we experience and understand its actions.

And a little reminder! ✨
Join me for three complimentary Yoga Unfolded online Masterclasses on October 9, 10 & 11 · 3:30–5:30 PM CET to explore more together. 🙏

Comment MASTERCLASS if you haven’t joined yet! ☺️
