Strength training

I hate strength training, but its something I have to start doing for my upper body to do these damn Aerial Silks! So my BFF who is a personal trainer is going to be helping me. If you're looking for an awesome personal trainer who is well versed in anatomy, core stabilization, strength training and conditioning...check him out!

Amazing things can happen

So today started out as any other ordinary rainy day in NYC. A lil depressing actually, but later in the afternoon the sun came out. I am not much of a sunshiny yogi type but humor me. So my dear friend was having an all around bad day and she came to the gym to meet me and our other friend. We ended up trying all these arm balances together for shiz and giggles and check out how we busted twin peacocks together! I only just got this today...and this was her first time too! I also taught her albatross which she did for the first time too. I feel like that is always a cool thing...to be there when a friend busts a pose for the first time, and then doing it together —EXTRA AWESOME! The moral of the story is...things can seem bad but doing Yoga with your friends is always amazing. Well, only if you're friends are as cool as mine.

And to top my fabulous night off, on my way home I found a street roda, sang a few songs and got to play a lil.

For tips on Mayurasana, see my last peacock post here.

Just a few mudras

This is a mudra a friend of mine taught me.  Press the middle finger and thumb together and interlock both hands in this position. Other fingers are flexed. Wards off negativity. I don't know what its called though.

Shunya mudra. Bend the middle finger down and place the thumb on top. Straighten out the other fingers.  This mudra is said to relieve ear aches, nausea and vertigo.
