  • While it’s fun to think of #evilshittodowithblocks and figuring out ways to use props to prep or make things more challenging, sometimes it’s just nice to use a block under the hand in triangle pose. Try using a prop in your practice today, even if you don’t “need” it, and notice the nuances using a prop can bring to the pose.
  • This week is sailing by FAST. Make some space for practice today! #Repost @tiffylou ・・・ Join me for yogahour at 5pm today @yogaselah! Word of the day: ANCHOR.
  • Happy Saturday! We’ve got several opportunities for practice this weekend! Saturday: 8:15am - Trigger Point Clinic 9:30am - All Levels Sunday: 9:30am - Intermediate/Advanced Practice 4:30pm - Foundations 5:45pm - Guided Meditation We look forward to practicing with you!
  • Here’s a way to kick down dog lunge up a notch. Throw a couple of blocks under the front foot. Or the back foot. Enjoy.
  • Core work. 🔥 🔥🔥
  • We use a lot of props at Yoga Selah, but we especially love our chairs. Here’s our student, Lauren, demoing a “headless headstand”. This way of practicing headstand/sirsasana keeps weight out of the cervical spine, which is great for those of us with neck injuries or conditions in which it’s contraindicated to put weight on the neck. What’s your favorite pose using a chair? And thanks Tiffany for a creative chair yoga class this week!
  • When Taylor first started teaching at Yoga Selah, he taught a led ashtanga primary series—no blocks, no blankets, no chairs, no sandbags, no drills. Things have changed a bit over the years. 😂 Adding a block under the foot in this move takes it deeper into the obliques and deepens the stretch on the outer hip. Have fun!
  • Space: the dimensions of height, depth, and width within which all things exist and move. Take one minute today. For one minute, close your eyes. Focus on breathing in and out. Give yourself some space. Just be.

  • Have you been thinking about going to @dirtysouthyogafest but haven’t signed up yet? There’s still opportunities, but classes are filling up! Laura will be there sharing her love of yoga and Harry Potter AND a sweet discount code for you, so don’t miss out! . #Repost @wildyogithing ・・・ How do the yogis get in to Diagon Alley? See above. ✨ Are you getting excited for my “Yoga Magic” class at @dirtysouthyogafest? I sure am. The festival is coming to ATL August 9 - 11, and I’ll be sharing a practice that asks: What can our beloved Harry Potter, his companions, and their stories teach us about living as yogis in the world? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s a less traditional approach to yoga that might look a little gimmicky at first glance, and the author of the Harry Potter novels has engaged in some disappointing human behavior in more recent years, but I choose to take up the 7 Harry Potter novels as divinely-inspired sacred texts that have lessons to teach us about empathy, justice, growth, love... just like the Bhagavad Gita, the Yoga Sutras, the Vedas, the Bible, the Mahayana Sutras, the Quran, and many other sacred texts before them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So yes, there will be so much lighthearted magic and fun. There will be an enchanted asana practice with shapes like “unicorn pose” and “Sirius Black pose.” But this is no gimmick. I’m not in this to make money or be special. I’m in this to facilitate the deep and courageous inner work of yoga in a way that’s accessible for folks in the modern world, and Harry Potter has that amazing ability to meet us where we are. This *is* about the deep work, so we will also be taking up a sacred reading practice, a chakra meditation that corresponds with each book, and thinking critically about who we are and how we love. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Plus, you’ll get the chance to practice with a host of other amazing Atlanta teachers whom I am also very excited to learn from; teachers like @supyogini, @nedadraupadi, @nickatlas, @charissetheyogi and more.

  • Why do we have so many blocks at Yoga Selah? Because 😈😂💪
  • To refine your down dog lunge, try this: 1. Next to a wall, with the legs in a Warrior 2 stance, place a block between the front knee and the wall and the back thigh and the wall (see second photo). Depending on your hip flexibility, you can change the width of the block to make it more doable or more difficult. 2. Bring your hands to the floor inside your front leg. Keep firmly pressing the blocks into the wall. 3. To deepen, walk your hands forward and out—but don’t drop the blocks! The further away you walk your hands, the more challenging it becomes. Give it a try!
  • What’s your favorite pose right now? • #Repost @janahanalei ・・・ Look no hands! 😁 Half Moon is my current favorite pose right now. In the studio I love exploring all the variations of this pose. I normally have a good solid block under my hand and it’s my foundation. I place it right against my mat to hold it in place. But then it feels like such an accomplishment to lift that hand off the block. I attempted this pose on the paddle board while playing during our last retreat. Wow what a challenge! No block and no solid foundation, it wasn’t pretty. Lol I landed in the water multiple times. I continued to get back up and try it again. Although this is not a “SUP pose” I think I can achieve it with practice, a block and maybe a yoga board. My clients were quite shocked to see me fall in...multiple times. 😂 But isn’t that what it’s all about? I fall out of arm balances in the studio. It’s ok to fall off the board too. Saturday I fell off in a seated pose. 😂😂😂 That’s why I love yoga, especially SUP yoga. When we fall off, we climb right back up and usually there is a group of yogis to cheer us on.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Explore your balance or breath in a studio class this week. Join me @yogaselah for Foundations at 8:15am and Restorative at 10:45am tomorrow. On the water, our next class with availability is Sunday @littlerivermarina 9am Intro To SUP and 10:30am SUP Yoga. Monday Lake Acworth SUP Yoga 6:30pm.

  • The weekend is almost here! Join us for practice tonight: 5:00pm All Levels - with Erica 6:15pm Yin - with Meagan 7:30pm Yoga + Meditation - with Pat See you on the mat! #Repost @ericarasconyoga ・・・
  • Mark your calendars! Our next Intermediate/Advanced Sunday Practice is July 21st from 9:30-11:00am!
  • More fun with blocks! Hold a block between the bicep of the arm/hand on the floor and the front knee in a revolved lunge. The block will give feedback of how much you need to engage the outer hip of the front leg to keep it drawing toward the midline.
  • Feeling upside down after a holiday weekend? We’ve got lots of opportunities to help you get back on track this week at the studio! Link to class schedule in bio. #Repost @tiffylou ・・・
