Kurmasana! Is a pose that can be difficult not only to obtain but to look at !as it was for me when I first started ashtanga .Infact I didn't think I'd like to do it ,but when introduced into my daily practice I've become to love it ! it's All repetition and breathing which is a constant during the practice! But this pose is not to be attempted without first being shown by a competent teacher & not without doing the poses leading up to the point you would attempt it as in my primary series ashtanga!! I'm showing this to give an idea of what is achievable in time if your dedicated and the rewards are many if practicedaily!

Beautiful day here in Cornwall so I'm making hay while the sun shines or at least finishing of yet another house! ALWAYS time for a stopdropandyoga pose for instagram!! Yoga will prolong anyone's working life I'm convinced ; especially if it's as physically demanding as mine No more sore backs !!Stretch your Yoga !!
Morning refuelling! A full Ashtanga practice should leave you cleansed from sweating tired but happy ! & the reward is a plantbased breakfast !Porridge with nuts grapes honey with chia seeds mixed in for protein!! Lemon/ginger tea to perk me up (I'm not a coffee drinker)& A delicious beetroot based juice! Recipe_Beetroot x2 celeryx 3 Apples x2 lemon x1 half for pineapple & a chunk of ginger! Juice the lot Enjoy I ALWAYS make enough to share or have A me more later!(we use a sage juicer so no removing any skin )Enjoy your Day!!

Grasshopper pose ! It's my third year of ashtanga yoga !Never even thought about yoga once before I tried my first class!Although this is Not a typical ashtanga pose I do in my daily practice it is one of the many self taught poses I am able to do with relative ease !But I'd never even tried one of the many poses outside my primary series practice till this time last year .My first year on instagram !! Yoga gives you incredible strength as well as flexibility Which i never obtained when I just lifted weights! But you do have to practice !! Ashtanga yoga is not easy if your committed to the traditional six days a week which I now do .You only achieve results from what you put in, you can talk all you like about yoga But you can't cheat yoga Your efforts are reflected in your practice ! NAMASTE
Enjoying a green juice after my run while Charlie is still in navasana! After Our morning ashtanga practice ! Juice recipe As follows _Apples x3 lemon x1 one large handfull of spinach , chunk of ginger half a pineapple ,celery x 2 sticks half a zucchini/courgette!juice the lot skin on (we use a sage juicer ) blend with crushed ice if you like!! I ALSO put chia seeds in Most of my juicing great for protein!!ENJOY!!
