First, you might […]

Asana tip sheet #30 – Samasthiti

September 29, 2015 By Rupali Embry Leave a Comment

Asana tip sheet #30 - samasthiti

Asana tip sheet #28 – Ardha mandalasana

Rupali in ardha mandalasana

Back bending has never been my strong suit in yoga (ask any of my students 🙂 ) and ardha mandalasana is one that took me many repetitions to appreciate, then love. If I’m spending too long at the computer, this is a pose I’ll do to open up my hips, chest and shoulders to counteract […]
