Asana Tip Sheet #38 – Utthita Tadasana (5-pointed star)

June 14, 2016 By Rupali Embry 1 Comment

Rupali in 5-pointed star

Five-pointed star pose is the quintessential pose for becoming aware of how lines of energy move through a pose. It’s a great beginner’s pose but don’t let it fool you! It can also be a massively interesting pose so even an advanced practitioner can get a lot of value and benefit from it. If you […]

Rupali in Parsva Bakasana

Parsva bakasana (aka, parsva kakasana) is not one of those “out of the box” poses—meaning, you don’t usually stick this arm balance on your very first try. Although there are plenty of exceptions to that statement (such as men with excellent upper body strength), us mere mortals will need a few things in place before […]

Asana Tip Sheet #35: Setu bandhasana

Rupali in setu bandhasana

I learned setu bandhasana in my very first yoga class EVER. It was a revelation to me back then to think of my spine as a string of pearls lifting one by one as I pressed my feet into the mat. My spine was badly compressed at that point from various childhood injuries so I […]

Tania in eka pada bhekasana

Frog pose! What a fun asana to share with you this week. When I was a little kid growing up on the central Florida coast I was a freak for the bright green tree frogs with red eyes. I loved to go outside and catch them and bring them back to show my family. My […]

Tania and RupaliWhat people are saying about Tania and Rupali...

"Tania and Rupali are wonderful teachers. They are experienced, knowledgable and sensitive to each student's needs. They cultivate self compassion and mindfulness and provide inspiration to students to develop a more introspective practice of just being present in the moment. Now, yoga is an integral part of my life. Every time I step on my mat I remember Tania's words—drishti, connect my breath to stay focused and engage my bandhas." ~ Linda, Hawaii Kai, HI
