Use your imagination for good. ❤️🙏🏽 .

(Technically, your lower back or sacrum is tapping the wall but, butt taps sound better than "sacrum taps" 🤪😂) . . 💪🏾💥 When I want to condition for handstands away from the wall, especially jumping up with both legs together into handstand, these butt taps tone up the legs, arms, core, hands and fingers. It also gives the body and brain the muscle memory of aligning the legs above the hips, shoulders and wrists. Give it a try! 10-25 butt taps every day, 6 days/week. 🤗 Give yourself a rest day from the weight bearing on the wrists and shoulders. Have fun and tag me with #febustand and #butttaps ! 💪🏾💥❗️ . #yoga #strength #balance #getupsidedown #tuckjump #handstand #vinyasa #poweryogs #powervinyasa #whybaptisteyoga #yogavideo #yogatutorial #practiceandalliscoming😂😂😂 #tbt #soundon #swipeleft #yogabloopers #acroyoga #whattheheck #girlsjustwannahavefun #yoga #whatwasithinking #yogapracticenotyogaperfect #livelovelaugh #whybaptisteyoga #portugal #yogaretreat #beachyoga #outdooryoga #bloopers . 🤷🏽♀️ when we #yogateachers had free time during our Portugal yoga retreat. We flow and breathe and focus and get all zen...AND get messy, silly, boss each other around, literally climb on each other like puppies, and can't stop giggling! 🤪🤣 Miss playing with you Jill and Mary!! 😜😍 @namaslay_always @jillannkramek . . Posted @withregram • @namaslay_always I just want to spend the rest of my life laughing 💫 🌊Week 2 Day 9 #febustand #handstandprep #forearmplank #handstandconditioning Hold forearm plank 3 sets, 5 breaths each. Or hold 10 breaths hovering one foot/leg off the floor 5 breaths each leg. Keep tadasana alignment in body with feet, legs, and core engaged and spine long with chest and top of head reaching forward to wall or jungle trees in front of you. 🌴🤣 Create an "11" with the forearms and stack shoulders on top of elbows. Strengthen the shoulder girdle by pressing forearms down into ground and keep elbows in line with shoulders (watch if elbows slide wider than shoulders.) Relax and breathe. Additional challenge: accept your practice and body as it is AND as it is not. Maybe even post a pic in your bikini and dismiss the thoughts that tell you you're not bikini-ready! 🤪💖 #stepoutofyourcomfortzone #yoga #yogapracticenotyogaperfect #practiceandalliscoming #whybaptisteyoga #puntademita #mexico #junglegirl #loveyourbelly #loveyourbody #selflove #acceptance #vulnerable #doitanyway #courageous #strong #fitover55 #lovewhatgodgaveyouWeek 1 Day 7 #febustand Navasana strengthens the whole body, especially the deep core muscles to prevent the arched banana back in handstand; #swipeleft to see the target muscles of #navasana #boatpose . . From a seat slowly lift one leg at a time off the floor to balance on your sit bones. Contract the muscles of both legs, press the balls of your feet to the sky, pull the pit of your belly button back toward your spine, press your chest toward your legs. . . Modifications: arms reach toward legs or to sky, feet on ground or knees at 90 degrees with fingertips lightly holding behind hamstrings. If balancing with feet off the ground lands you wobbling back on the floor, place your hands behind your back with fingertips on ground OR use a chair or wall to rest the balls of your feet with knees at 90 degrees, and slowly pull your feet off your prop. Choose the variation which strengthens the body without straining the lower back. If you feel low back pain, imagine you are flattening and pressing your lower back into the back of a chair, imagine the edge of your shoulder blades closest to your spine and press the edges toward your chest (#swipeleft to see video), contract the muscles of your legs, feet, toes, arms and fingers. Always listen to your body, and consult your doctor if necessary...no sharp pain, strengthen but don't strain. #ahimsa 🙏🏽 . . ✌🏽 Every day, work up to 5 sets and hold for 5-10 breaths. Keep the lower belly engaged, awaken #uddiyanabandha and breathe fully into the upper torso, expand the left and right ribcages, and relax the face and neck. You get a lot of bang for your buck with navasana! Full body toning, equanimity while cultivating balance with ease and focusing the mind, strong core muscles to counteract back pain, AND conditioning for handstand! . . I'm in Mexico for a family wedding this weekend. More videos to post next week! Tenga un buen fin de semana! 😎✌🏽✨ #handstandprep #handstandconditioning #yoga #yogaforbeginners #core #abs #balance #strength #yogatutorial #truenorthalignment #whybaptisteyoga #puntademita #mexico #beachyoga #outdooryoga #naturegirl #oceanlover #practiceandalliscoming #loveyourbellymovement #fitover55
