Can you jump back from Crow (Kakasana) to Chaturanga Dandasana? 🐦‍⬛

This transition might be easier than you think—even if your crow is a little wobbly!

1️⃣ Stick your butt in the air first before jumping back.
2️⃣ Send your feet up and back (like a little rainbow)

These two tips give you the space to make it further back on your mat .

Remember this formula:
1. Courage 💪 – Trust yourself and go for it!
2. Structure 📓 – Create a practice plan with support to keep progressing (I can help!)
3. Persistence 🚀 – Keep practicing, even a few minutes a few times a week.

Give this transition a try and tag me so I can cheer you on!

⏰Just 60-seconds to reset your mind and body.

⭐ Save this to use before bed, after a long day, or whenever you need to recenter.

Breathwork (Pranayama) is one of the most underrated yoga tools—it helps with stress, sleep, focus, and more.

And the best part? You can do it anytime, anywhere. 🧘🏻‍♀️

➡️ Wild Thing to Wheel (& back again)

If you have a solid wheel, this transition might be easier than you think!

Give it a try:
✅ Bring both feet flat on the ground
✅ Bend both knees
✅ Shift your weight more into the legs
✅ Press out of your bottom arm to find space
✅ Reach top arm toward the floor
✅ Allow your bottom hand to spin in and eventually flip fingers toward feet

Going back to Wild Thing is trickier (for me!), but you’ll just reverse the steps—except for the bottom hand spin. I move my hand last in both directions!

You start strong… then lose momentum. Again. ⬇️

One week, you’re ALL IN on yoga.

You practice every day, feel amazing… and then life happens. You skip a day. Then another. And before you know it, you're back to square one.

Sound familiar?

Here’s why this keeps happening (and how to FIX it) ⬇️

🙈 MISTAKE 1: Overcommitting, then burning out
✅ FIX: Start small and build up!

Excited to practice daily? That’s great, but… start with 1-2 days a week if you're returning after a break.

Already consistent? Add just 1 more short session per week.

10 min or 1 hour—doesn’t matter. Routine is what counts!

🙈 MISTAKE 2: Relying on motivation
✅ FIX: Make a plan & write it down!

Stop scrolling for motivation—it increases your chances of practicing by… 0%.

But writing down when & where you’ll practice? That boosts follow-through by 91%!

Read that again… ZERO vs 91%!

🙈 MISTAKE 3: Getting frustrated with slow progress
✅ FIX: Get support & learn the technique!

There’s no timeline for mastering a new pose.

Learn the technique & progressions from a teacher who breaks it down.

Frequent, short practices will add up to big results.

These small tweaks = big shifts in your practice. Stop restarting—start seeing real progress!

Most people think yoga is just movement—but it’s really about so much more. 💥

If you’ve ever felt distracted, stiff, or disconnected in your practice, these 3 simple shifts will help you tap into that easy mind-body connection 👇

1️⃣ Breathe before you move – Your breath leads the way. Inhale, exhale, then flow.
2️⃣ Focus on transitions – Stop rushing! Mindful movement builds strength and awareness.
3️⃣ Listen to your body – Notice tension, tweaks, or stress—your body is always talking to you.

✨ When you lead with breath, focus on transitions, and listen—you’ll feel that effortless connection between your mind & body.
