Here’s a picture of me putting my leg behind my head from years ago. Look how happy I look! Maybe I should try putting my leg behind my leg more often… I am going to this weekend! On Saturday at @theyogaquarter I’m going to teach the Bikram “interme… instagr.am/p/CkyYKWnIDSN/

When you take them out of context, yoga postures can look a little bit silly. But doing them isn’t silly at all. They’re very serious. Make sure you do some instead of sitting on the couch, continuing to eat Quality Street chocolates by the handful, whic… instagr.am/p/CmwTswfousw/

Happy New Year! Have you made any new year’s resolutions? Do you ever? I usually don’t, but this year I’m going to try… If you don’t have any resolutions, here’s a good one you could try: do this posture every day. (You might have to do some other … instagr.am/p/Cm4YpM8LE8I/

This is the picture I always roll out when Sindy Haque and I have got a retreat coming up. It still looks like us, more or less. It’s in July in Spain, and I’m looking forward to it not only because it’s going to be great doing a retreat again post pand… instagr.am/p/Cm9QgiVIjgS/

Every so often I feel obliged to post a picture of a handstand scorpion to remind myself to keep practising it. This one’s from last summer at Hot Yoga Trieste, and I’m almost out of pictures of it, so I guess I’ll need to do it again sometime soon or I’l… instagr.am/p/CnhgfsjLJOJ/

🐍 I almost always teach this posture in class - or a version of it. This is my pretty warmed up on a summer’s day version and it doesn’t always look like this. There’s usually less weathered woodwork and corrugated metal in the places I practise yoga… instagr.am/p/CoFj3RKoBGP/

It seems that I have taken to posting on Instagram once a month, because I want the algorithm to hate me. I don’t want you to hate me though, please love me and the nonchalant way I’m doing scorpion pose right here. Also its getting very close to the e… instagr.am/p/CpLEEEEIS7v/

Awkward leg hug pose. Sometimes as a yoga teacher, your best bet is to say, “If you can do posture x, now’s a good time to do it.” This is one example of posture x. Of course, there are lots of good preparatory movements for it and you can sequence a c… instagr.am/p/CpkzntSo_cI/

Once upon a time I used to not have a beard, have a sensible haircut and wear small black shorts. This wasn’t when I first started practising yoga. Back then I don’t think anyone thought of taking pictures of yoga postures much. This picture was from a… instagr.am/p/CrQ1qiKovk6/

Don’t get old. Get even. #idontevenknowwhatthatmeans but that’s kind of how full bow makes me feel. instagr.am/p/Cr6NeVBIZp2/

I once saw a video on Instagram where a yoga teacher was teaching pincha mayurasana - or forearm stand - and their instruction was mainly to tell the viewer to get into to this position (one leg forearm dog), and just to lift the other leg up. They were … instagr.am/p/CsTz6T4IhmP/

It’s good to work on the fundamentals. Inversions can give you an amazing sense of freedom, and that comes from having a stable base. To work on the fundamentals I’m running a workshop at @theyogaquarter on Saturday 30 September at 3pm #sirsasana #pinchamayurasana
