Supine Spinal Twist
or Supta Matsyendrasana

I recently used this posture as a closing Yin, calm it all down, finishing posture. I looked over to see a row of students assisting one another in order to take it deeper. What an incredible act of compassion and love for your mat mate. Supta Matsyendrasana is just that kina pose... and here is why.

As a student I love this posture because it just feels so damn good after a hot sweaty flow.

As a teacher there is a ton of reasons why I use it. Here are a few;
*Its a great counter pose to back bends
*Calms the nervous system
*Stretches out the back muscles and glutes. And with the addition of the top leg extended, the hamstrings.
*aids in digestion

But ultimately, I love teaching this posture because it just feels so damn good. 🙌🏽 Namaste!

lately the obstacles of the mind and the power they have over us have been in my thoughts. I love this story of the guru that taught his student his need to yearn for his spiritual practice with his whole being. It's an incredible reminder of the importance of taking care of our spiritual selves... an often overlooked part in the union of our whole selves Mind. Body. Spirit.

The average American spends:
-2.5 hours a day with their spouse.
-1.25 hours a day together if that couple has over one child.
-1 hour of that time is spent watching tv
-Mothers spend an average of 2-3 hours caring for their children
- the average American spends 4.7 hours on their phone.

Today's theme was about our time spent. Is it devotionally spent towards what you hold as sacred? Are you making your decisions on how you spend your time through your spiritual devotional self, or from somewhere else?

I have my favorite teachers here that have this ability to flip my perspective and practice to a whole new level. Looking forward to teaching you all what I've learned along the way. But until then- peace, love, ocean,... and tacos too. ✌🏽️❤️🌊 🌮
