Utkatasana (Chair Pose/Fierce Pose)

This asana builds heat, strength, and flexibility. Starting in Tadasana (Mountain Pose), with feet hips distance apart or together, knees over ankles, inhale arms up, and on the exhale bend your knees and lower your hips as if sitting down in a chair. Keep low belly lifted and soften shoulders apart (widening shoulders may help reduce tension). Biceps by ears, palms facing each other. Gaze forward to protect the neck. Shift weight back to heels (you should be able to see your toes when you look down). Maintain a long, straight spine. Bring arms forward if necessary to avoid arching back. Lengthen on the inhale, and sink deeper in your chair on the exhale.

Avoid or modify if you have any shoulder, hip, back, knee or ankle injury, have low blood pressure, or are in the third trimester of pregnancy or newly postnatal.

This empowering pose calls on your inner fierceness, determination, and willpower to do hard things! Yoga teaches us to cultivate compassionate awareness within so we can move through the world with greater strength, balance, clarity, and love. Proactive compassion toward self and others (Ahimsa, non-violence) is the first Yama in Pantanjali’s Yoga Sutras, a universal vow and ethical foundation for yogic practice.

Bad Bunny’s Superbowl performance was a powerful example of ahimsa. It celebrated the culture, history, and struggle of Puerto Rico, while highlighting our unity as one nation, and interconnectedness with other countries in the Americas. It proudly uplifted the power of love, community, and faith in oneself. Healthy democracy needs active criticism, and this is a time when it is both extremely dangerous, and absolutely necessary, for everyone to exercise that right. Bad Bunny reminded how beautiful resistance can be when it is a celebration of love.

“The only thing more powerful than hate is love.”
-Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio (Bad Bunny)

Honestly, it’s not even a question of believing anymore. If you’re not angry, I don’t think it’s because you don’t believe. Let’s be clear, it’s because you don’t care.

Trauma is not only the result of an event, but what happens after. We are relational beings, we can cope with a lot of when we have someone to turn to for safety, connection, and support. When we are children, that’s our family. As adults, it’s our community. Right now survivors are looking to us for support. I know a lot of bad things have happened and we all feel overwhelmed, but we can’t allow our government to be run by child-raping monsters.

I had the strangest experience recently that reminded me how powerful denial is, how it shapes our perception without us even knowing. I heard someone talk about how another reason we have to hold these predators accountable is that this same thing is absolutely still going on. We have a cultural problem, especially among the most rich and powerful, that celebrates the exploitation of children. They are not even hiding it anymore. For some reason, my mind had me thinking that this was in some way a past problem. That we just needed justice for those that survived or lost their lives. But that comment woke me up (to something I already knew of course). These same people are still torturing children as we speak.

As a mother, I refuse to allow them to continue to do this. At least not quietly. I don’t care if all I can do is be noisy right now. I know that I’m not alone.

I know there are many injustices to fight but that doesn’t mean we should give up. I don’t think we’re asking for a lot. We have justice system in place for investigating crimes and holding people accountable. If it can’t do its job, we no longer have a working government.

For now, let’s let survivors know we will not look the other way. Let’s send a message to those kids still writing in their journals wondering if there’s any real goodness in the world. The cost of silence gets higher every day.

Ardha Uttanasana (Half Intense Pose)

Moving from Uttanasana or Instense Stretch Pose/Forward Fold, Half Intense Pose/Half Lift is practiced by lifting the torso halfway on an inhale to create a flat back. Hands can stay on the floor or move up to shins or thighs. Lengthen spine away from hips, draw naval towards spine, soften shoulders down back, and open up collarbone. Hips and tailbone lift toward the sky. Lengthen on the inhale and fold deeper on the exhale, focusing on upper back and hamstrings. This pose prepares your for body Chaturanga.

Musings: This discipline of posting an asana daily has already taught me so much about my own body, my relationship to these poses, and how they can be practiced more effectively. In addition, showing up on social media, in my personal and professional life, has become a portal for practicing self-expression, self-trust, and self-authority. Another way I do that is singing (for fun). I got to practice with some other musicians tonight (as I do every week) and I was reminded how connected our vocal expression is to sense of self and how what you practice grows. 🪴 We’re singing this song ❤️

Random pic because it seemed a shame to waste the outfit without treating myself to a lil photo shoot :)

Extended Mountain Pose (Urdhva/Utthita Hastasana)

Building off of yesterday’s pose, this asana creates additional space in the torso and therefore even more room for breath. It also prepares the shoulders for upcoming inverted poses. It is both energetic and restorative, and can be combined with a slight backbend for an even deeper stretch. Those with back or shoulder injuries may want to avoid or modify this pose. Do what feels good and right for your body.

Starting in mountain pose, engage your core, root to rise, and bring your arms up overhead, palms facing together, energy through the tips of your fingers. Gaze can stay forward or follow hands up, staying mindful to lift from your heart and support your neck. Broaden across your low back, and soften your shoulders away from your ears. You can keep your arms shoulder-width apart or bring your palms together if that feels good in your body.

Breathe deeply, expanding your chest on the inhale and relaxing your shoulders away on the exhale, compassionately noticing sensation.

Quick reminder: In the west, we think of these asanas/ AS yoga. But the asanas are just one the 8 limbs of Yoga described in “The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali”. They are the physical embodiment of the philosophy of yoga, a contemplative practice and deep spiritual resource that originated in ancient India. In Sanskrit, yoga translates to union or yoke. As we join body and breath, we dissolve our perceived individual separateness and experience oneness with the universe. In short, yoga is LOVE. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
