Repost from @yogaglo, embellished with @amyippoliti ‘s take on Hanuman and the monkey army.

In the epic tale of the Ramayana, King Rama’s beloved, Sita, had been abducted from India and was being held prisoner in Lanka by a narcissistic demon named Ravana. After all means to rescue her had been exhausted, Rama’s most dedicated friend, Hanuman, took a gigantic leap over the ocean, arriving in Lanka to set Sita free. But she insisted that Rama come get her himself! And so the army of monkeys gradually built a bridge across the ocean so Ram could walk, one step at a time across the water to get Sita. Hanuman’s leap is his gift but in reality reaching enlightenment (Sita) took a team, together participating in an ordinary act, a pedestrian act at that: building a bridge and then taking one step at a time.

Hanumanasana, with its outstretched legs and uplifted arms, mimics the leap of faith and the bridge - encouraging us to reach for our dreams of a better world. The counteraction of gently drawing the legs back inward prevents us from overstretching. In this way, the pose urges us to go for it and believe that all will be possible, but also to have patience and take care not to push ourselves too far.

Once we have taken a leap and our foot finally touches the other side, we find that it wasn’t just faith that got us there, but also careful, dedicated practice. Hanumanasana shows us the value of both: to show up and do our own work while staying positive that even as we hurdle through the unknown, we will finally find firm ground.

Excerpt from the blog, How to Teach a Memorable Restorative Yoga Class by @sarahdiedrick
Read it in full with the link in our bio!

There are a few factors, in my opinion, that shift a restorative class from good to great. Some of the words that come to mind when I think of a true restorative practice are: • Support
• Relaxation
• Space
• Letting go/letting be
• Deep reflection

As a restorative yoga teacher, we can enhance these qualities for our students by the way we approach, and relate to, the practice.

I’ve found through both practicing and teaching restorative yoga, that attention to detail can be the difference between a good restorative class and a great one. In fact, attention to detail is the impetus for the profound letting go that restorative yoga is known for.

Sarah breaks down three crucial factors that should be incorporated into every restorative yoga class. Click the link in our bio to find out what they are!

One of the most mind-blowing aspects of Yoga is that the learning never stops. Diving into the fullness of Yoga through the limbs and beyond ensures that even in a hundred lifetimes, one person could never know everything. What an incredible thought!

As a teacher, students may look to you for answers. In our opinion, the thing that really sets a skilled teacher apart is their ability to say, “I don’t know” and follow with, “but let’s find out” to hone their beginner’s mind.

When you show up with the mind of a beginner you open yourself to the possibility of learning and expanding in not only knowledge, but as a human. But if you try to portray that you know everything you inevitably close yourself off to that growth.

Humility is a trait worth refining, especially as you continue along the endless path of being a teacher and perhaps more importantly, as a student of Yoga.

Teachers, what do you think? Share with us in the comments 🙏🏽

We just got ALL NEW Rad Rollers from our amazing partners @radrollerteam for our trainings and we can’t wait to use them!

Do you use #RADroller to support your practice?
If you need a little inspiration check out our quick tip below.

Roll Out Tips for Backbends:
Before starting a backbend practice for yourself or a private client, roll out on Rad rollers first! Start at the top of your spine and slowly make your way down to release the muscles in your back. If you’ve got extra time, flip over and roll out your quads, too! You’ll notice a dramatic difference in quality and ease of your backbends.
