🪷 Half Lotus Pose Challenge 🪷

You don’t need a full lotus, a silent mind, or a mountaintop retreat to show up for your practice ✨
Half Lotus is about meeting yourself where you are—one grounded sit bone at a time.

📸 Your turn:
Snap a photo of yourself in Half Lotus (Ardha Padmasana) and share it here!

Whether you’re feeling calm, awkward, proud, wobbly, or all of the above—it all counts.
Props welcome. Modifications encouraged. Real humans only.

👉 Tag me and use so we can celebrate your practice together 🪷
Let’s normalize yoga that’s accessible, imperfect, and actually lived in.

Sit tall. Breathe. Share the moment 💛

🪷 Half Lotus Pose (Ardha Padmasana) 🪷
AKA: “I’m calm, but my foot is working through some things.”

This pose may look serene, but behind the scenes it’s doing some serious magic ✨

Why Half Lotus deserves a slow clap:
✔️ Gently opens hips and knees (goodbye, chair-life stiffness)
✔️ Improves posture so you can sit like the grounded, regal human you are
✔️ Boosts circulation in the legs (hello, tingly enlightenment)
✔️ Calms the nervous system and sharpens focus 🧠
✔️ Preps the body for meditation without forcing full pretzel mode

Pro tip: If your knee says “absolutely not,” listen. Props are wisdom, not weakness 🙏

Sit tall. Breathe deep. Pretend you’ve got your life together for at least 3 breaths.

Those of us here in need only sit in our hot cars in the summer (or really, just step outside!). Don't forget your sunscreen!
