There are approximately 428,000 children in foster care in the United States. Children in foster care often face emotional and psychological challenges as they try to adjust to new and often changeable environments. Some children with severe attachment disorders may exhibit signs of sleep disturbance.

I am humbled to be among the passionate volunteers involved with Precious Dreams Foundation helping to deliver comfort items and programs that teach self-soothing techniques to children navigating foster care and homeless shelters.

Join us on March 23 for a night of yoga to benefit this incredible cause.

Eka Pada Rajakapotasana aka Pigeon. This deep hip opening posture is typically reserved for the end of a yoga sequence, when the muscles are warm and loose - though supine variations are great in the morning when the body is still waking up.

I like to layer in a bunch of Warrior II's to warm up the muscles responsible for lateral hip rotation, so when I get into pigeon those muscles are too tired to resist which provides an amazing stretch to the inner thigh muscles and piriformis.

This posture has some serious energetic benefits as well. Depending on the variation, pigeon pose activates root, sacral, heart and crown chakras.

Which variation do you prefer? Practice all of them with me on Monday at 8am. Link in bio

Come flow with me this week to benefit

I love that Marie Kondo starts with an expression of gratitude. When we take the time to acknowledge the things in our lives that support us or make us happy, its easier to prioritize and discern what really matters. Will be bingeing this series soon
