When practicing yoga, proper alignment is essential to prevent injury and improve the benefits of the pose. For side angle poses, the key is to engage your arm fully and avoid any unnecessary strain. Instead of pushing your arm too much down, focus on lengthening through the spine. Keeping your neck long and your spine straight will help you maintain balance and stability.

Flex your knee and engage your core to lift your body, avoiding the common mistake of letting your hips move away from your body. When you do this, you’ll feel the correct alignment and enhanced flexibility, helping you build strength safely. Ensuring your feet are well-aligned with the hips will support the entire posture and offer greater control during your practice.

With continuous practice and focus on form, the benefits of these postures become clear. Improved strength, flexibility, and balance will come naturally. Every time you practice with the right alignment, you contribute to long-term success in your yoga journey. 🧘‍♀️💪

This week a client commented that yoga allowed her to get out of her mind for an hour! A first time yogi! This is the purpose of yoga, to get out of your mind/thoughts/plans and focus on YOU. I love that she got it on the very first try! One of the best poses is Shavasana, the resting pose at the end of class.
