If you hadn't noticed, I didn't post anything for Day 10.  This is because while daily practice is necessary to see progress on your journey towards handstands (and your journey in general), a day of rest is important. So hopefully yesterday you all got to rest and relax and rejuvinate and are fresh and ready for today. The last pose and today's pose both tackle Bridge Pose, which has some amazing benefits:
  • Strengthens back, glutes, legs and ankles
  • Opens chest, heart and hip flexors
  • Stretches the chest, neck, shoulders and spine
  • Calms the body, alleviates stress and mild depression
  • Stimulates organs of the abdomen, lungs and thyroid
  • Rejuvenates tired legs
  • Improves digestion

BRIDGE LEGS
1. Begin in Bridge Pose - see day 9.

2. While pressing up into bridge, inhale and with your exhale slowly lift your left leg high into the air, keeping it straight. Press through the heel of your right foot into your mat.
3. Hold here and breathe deeply. Shaking and trembling are wonderful!
4. Slowly lower your left foot back to the mat.
5. You may bring your hips back down to the mat and relax and breathe.
6. Press back into bridge and lift the other leg. (You can stay in bridge and then do the other leg if you don't feel you need to rest). TIPS: Pull your shoulders away from your ears before you press up into breathe and then actively draw your shoulders blades together across your back while in bridge pose. Your leg doesn't need to get as high as mine, find your own version of Bridge Legs that work for you. ☺

This is also a great resource with lots of good tips if you would like to continue reading. 💙

     About the Blogger

    Haley is passionate about Raw Food and how God has used it to heal her. She loves to share what she knows with anyone who is curious, and finds herself talking to everyone around her about her lifestyle. 

    God comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us.  For the more we suffer for Christ, the more God will shower us with his comfort through Christ. Even when we are weighed down with troubles, it is for your comfort and salvation! For when we ourselves are comforted, we will certainly comfort you. Then you can patiently endure the same things we suffer. We are confident that as you share in our sufferings, you will also share in the comfort God gives us. (2 Corinthians 3-7)

    This Scripture applies to every area of  life that Haley is passionate about. In order to be grateful, confidant, and assured of anything in your life...it must be tested and proved. That testing is never easy and rarely pleasant...but it IS purposeful. She now can take the comfort that God has given her and share it with you. Amen!
