ANDREA - a full time Yoga, Pilates and Tai Chi instructor.

I fell in love with yoga over seven years ago, when I got a Nintendo DS and bought a game called Let's Yoga. From then, I began 'playing' yoga everyday, sometimes twice a day. At first, the practice was more physical for me, but after few months I started to really count on yoga to bring me a sense of calm during especially chaotic days. Soon after, I began recognizing the benefits of a regular asana and meditation practice and continued to incorporate yoga daily - not just during times of chaos. I found myself feeling more energized, more compassionate, happier, and with more awareness. Now, I teach full-time and couldn't be happier to do what I love. What began as a physical practice for strength and flexibility quickly became a lifestyle. I teach my students to take their yoga off the mat and apply the principles learned in the class to their lives outside of the studio. I do not only teach my philosophy, I live it.

September Challenge # Day 24 Balance Poses

Wow - I was impressed by those who tried and posted their poses yesterday- remember - it is about the journey, too, don't get upset if you can't do some poses!!
Today's posture is a bit easier and we practiced it :P
Scale Pose (Tolasana)
You will strengthen your wrists, arms, and abs, hanging in this balance pose.

How to do it:

  • Perform Lotus or Easy Pose. Place the palms on the floor beside the hips.
  • Exhale, push the hands against the floor, contract the abdominal muscles, and lift the legs and buttocks away from the floor.
  • Hold suspended for 10 to 15 seconds. Then lower your legs and buttocks on an exhalation, change the cross of the legs, and repeat for the same length of time.
