IFlow Yoga Teacher Trainings & Retreats ERYT, Ayurvedic Yoga Specialist -Amy Pastore amypastore.com

About Amy Pastore: Amy's yoga story began after years studying fitness and martial arts. She stepped into her first yoga class at the gym, looking for a good stretch and found that it wasn't exactly love at first down dog. The postural practice was challenging, not only physically, but the mental awareness and attention to detail were arduous. Amy traded in her boxing gloves for a yoga mat, her gym membership for class packages at her favorite yoga studio, Yoga Synthesis, and found her first and most influential teacher, Raji Thron. She took her first Yoga Teacher Training in 2006 and has since continued to grow and feed her insatiable desire to learn more from the multitude of amazing styles and teachers in the world.

Witchy Ayurveda snow day over here. A bit bitchy as well I can admit it, but this decoction definitely helped to simmer my Vata Crash out. 😜Today’s “Ayurvedic Kitchen Bitchual” made two ways….

☕️ Mom version:Organic fruit simmered with ginger, clove, and cinnamon — in Ayurveda this warm version is called a Kashaya & used to calm Vata and support the nervous system.

⚽️ Kid athlete version:Same fruit base, no spices — just a pinch of sea salt for natural electrolytes.

My version of kid Gatorade… no plastic, no dye.

And yes — use organic fruit unless you’re going for a surprise pesticide punch instead. 😅

He smashed it back, so officially Bodafide!

Ayurveda for the peri meno mom. Hydration for the little athlete. Same pot. Same kitchen. Low-key elite🤫 inspired by 🤸‍♀️

Before you learn how to adjust,
you learn how to see.

Touch becomes a guide only after perception is clear.

The sun sets every night without hashtags, followers, or likes.
That’s an HONEST practice.
Older than trends. STONGER than taste.
What if we all showed up that way?

In Vinyasa or flow-based Yoga practice, Downward Facing Dog isn’t a standalone pose — it’s set up to transition. It’s inherited from Surya Namaskar, which means its distance is meant to align with Plank and Chaturanga.

When the stance is short, your not set up for the next pose and the transition won’t work. When the stance is longer, your set up for the fluid transition thru chaturanga.

A longer stance keeps the hips out of early end-range so they can organize load instead of the spine compensating.
Energetically, it preserves continuity — Down Dog stays part of the wave instead of becoming a reset.

This is why I teach a plank-based measure for Down Dog in vinyasa.
