Healthy safe splits are active. Strengthening hips and legs is more like therapeutic work I do on the side (so I don‘t need hip replacement when I‘m old), but when teaching Ashtanga yoga I often notice that the leg activation gets forgotten at times. Remember to keep your legs and everything else active during practice. You always work with pulling and pushing forces, it‘s quite universal.

Do or do not. Stay focused.

this and that..

Throughout the past years of practicing and also teaching I‘ve always noticed the same and ongoing struggle - to maintain steady practice when no one is looking. And I always perceived this to be a fundamental problem. Yes, you need a teacher, but I think it‘s important to learn fast to rely on your self-practice that you do alone, at home, traveling, anywhere. At some point it‘s important to understand that even when you place responsibility into a teacher, an institution or anything external, let‘s say a "guru“, that ultimately your whole life experience is internal and people and places only play the importance you assign to them. I really want students to be able to practice alone and not feel lost in doing so. It might be a small just manageable practice, but then it‘s your‘s and it doesn‘t rely on circumstances. That‘s why I created the 1:1 mentorship programs that aim for maximum independence and self reliance. You get the input and then you practice. And once you think you need more input you come again or go somewhere else. But most importantly we bring the focus inwards so the foundation is strong.

My phone usually goes on flight mode at 9.45pm. And unless I have a morning appointment/online class it only goes off flight mode around 10 or 11am.

If you believe you cannot do this because you are "too important", I would work on that perception a little. If you need your phone for work you cannot practice anyways. So it means, at least for the practice time it has to be off. Usually, Ashtanga practice happens in the early morning hours, so most people aren‘t up to message you at that time anyways. Find a practice time that doesn‘t disturb your daily routine. Like 6-7.30am for example.

There is nothing worse than a distracted practice, being disturbed by something odd you saw on social media upon waking up, or receiving a really stupid message while you just attempted a complicated posture.

The time windows before falling asleep and shortly after you are waking up are very sensitive time windows. You are most perceptive in those times, most sensitive, so you don‘t want to fill this time with garbage.

It‘s part of daily hygiene that makes you from my experience happier and more efficient.

Think more of working with your quads… pulling them up. You learn that in downward dog. And I don‘t want to hear hamstrings.. you are not a hamstring. Think of your skin, rooting, intentions.. all that.
