Shiva Pose is essentially Compass in Reverse Tabletop. Focus on the mechanics of coming into table with the leg behind the shoulder, over straightening the leg or lifting the heel. Truly beautiful & bizarre. #shivapose #compasspose #sundial #advancedyoga #hipopener #melissatungMW

Side to Side In yoga we routinely move in all 3 directions of motion. Keep it simple by staying in the Frontal Plane. By adding repetition, we allow the body to progress in depth as it warms up. #warmup #easyyoga #trythis #sidebend #backpain #yogaforeveryone #melissatungMW

Forward Back - Start standing w/ right knee at hip level - Keeping the torso upright, draw the knee back as far back as possible - Hamstring and glutes stay engaged - Repeat #warmup #easyyoga #trythis #balance #hipextension #yogaforeveryone #yogapants #dynamicyoga #melissatungMW

#ForwardFold to #SideBend Alternating between planes of motion adds the challenges of #balance and #coordination. Repetition allows the body to deepen the poses while warming up and learning a pattern. #trythis #dynamicyoga #yogaforeveryone #yogainstructor #warmup #melissatungMW

#Sidebend to #BackBend Alternating between planes of motion adds the challenges of #balance and #coordination. Repetition allows the body to increase pose depth as it warms up and learns a pattern. #trythis #dynamicyoga #workout #yogaforeveryone #warmup #mobility #melissatungMW

#Gratitude Regularly acknowledging pleasant interactions, helpful tools and characteristics within yourself that contribute to positivity, will help grow a larger awareness and appreciation of the love and beauty that surrounds. #pause #mindfulness #thankyou #melissatungMW

Standing Wide Leg #ForwardFold -Bend knees/use blocks as necessary -Place feet as wide as to maintain stability but narrow enough to keep the head reaching for the floor #hamstringstretch #wideleggedforwardfold #hiphinge #PrasaritaPadottanasana #yogaforeveryone #melissatungMW

Seated Wide Leg Forward Fold -Anchor through the heels, with toes & knees pointing to the sky. -Long spine to keep active work in the hips, core & back OR round out for a more restful & gentle pose. #hamstringstretch #wideleggedforwardfold #forwardfold #hiphinge #melissatungMW

Turtle Pose Turtle looks oddly impossible, however if it’s in the body’s range and practiced mindfully, Turtle maintains the calming nature of all forward bends. #hamstringstretch #turtlepose #forwardfold #hiphinge #kurmasana #yogachallenge #hatha #mobility #asana #melissatungMW

Firefly Pose Legs keeping sliding down? -Squeeze inner thighs tight & widen the chest -Keep the elbows bent to create a shelf -Hands wider, elbows bent can be more accessible. #hamstringstretch #fireflypose #forwardfold #hiphinge #trythis #mobility #titibhasana #melissatungMW
