Transitions I’ve been working on for some time:

• Forearm straddle press
• Funky forearm straddle press
• Tittibhasana to Crow
• Mayurasana A to EPK II

It’s not just about practicing the pose or achieving the final shape. It’s about putting in the work behind it — strengthening the shoulders, building control, activating the legs, and developing the strength and technique needed to reach the press.

The lift might not be perfect yet, but that’s not the point. It’s the practice, the drills, the repetition, and the commitment to showing up that make the difference. Every attempt is an opportunity to learn, refine, and get stronger.

And, of course, continuing my regular Ashtanga practice, with the best adjustments, guidance, and support from the best teacher @sarvamyoga @yogiinbeirut . 🙏🏼

Trust the process. Put in the work. Let the practice transform you. 🔥 taken in Beit Meri by @theresechalfoun

Push the limits. Play with transitions. Get uncomfortable.
That’s where the fun and the progress happens. 🧘‍♀️💪

No one warns how strong you get from practicing yoga - not just in your body but in your mind , your discipline and the way you carry yourself!

Another killer class @missionflowstudio with @astorayoga

Trying to keep up with the intensity of @missionflowstudio classes , maintaining the rhythm , testing my endurance , and somehow nailing those transitions while following all the wiggle transitions 😂 Basically checking how much stamina I really have 🔥🧘‍♀️!

Receiving thoughtful, skillful adjustments is a reminder of how transformative touch can be when it comes from experience, patience, and deep understanding. Every adjustment felt intentional, respectful, and supportive, allowing me to explore my practice with greater awareness and confidence.

Grateful for every adjustment, every lesson, and every opportunity to keep growing—both on and off the mat. 🙏✨

Thank you @ethanashtanga_

Some days, stepping onto the mat is the hardest part.

Responsibilities and life’s demands can make your own practice slip to the bottom of the list.

But yoga isn’t about perfection. It’s about meeting yourself exactly where you are.

Whether your practice is a strong flow , simply sitting in stillness, taking a few conscious breaths, or just rolling out your mat and allowing yourself to be present - every practice counts.

Be gentle with yourself. Your practice doesn’t have to look perfect—it just has to be yours. 🤍

Come as you are. That’s enough. 🧘‍♀️✨

Happy to witness what the body is capable of. Twists have always felt like one of the most challenging parts of my practice—not just physically, but mentally too. They ask for strength, mobility, patience, and the willingness to breathe through discomfort. Every twist reminds me that progress comes from consistency, not force. Grateful for every small step and every lesson the practice brings. 🧘‍♀️✨

There’s a beautiful phrase that says:

“What we give doesn’t always return, but what we give is always what we are.”

So keep being genuine.
Keep being kind.
Keep being the person you are proud to be.

It is a reflection of who you are.
