This one goes to 11. https://vimeo.com/yogathletica/spinekneetap YOGAthletica full-length classes on Vimeo!

It’s #yogifeaturefriday Featuring @theyogi_nextdoor in her words My name is Regina and I live in Virginia. I began practicing yoga about 4 years ago using YouTube videos. I’ve only attended 2 instructor led yoga classes. I became certified in teaching Hatha and Vinyasa last year and will officially begin teaching virtually next month.... Fun fact: Prior to last year, I was very uncomfortable with letting people see my body, especially in yoga poses. I intentionally began entering yoga challenges to overcome my fear. #yogifeaturefriday seeks to unite yogis and feature diverse accounts from around the world and their unique perspective. DON’T FORGET- this weekly tag is not about the pose- it’s about exploring, discovering, and celebrating the yogis within this community. This group is about inclusion and unity as we spread love throughout the yoga community Check @yogifeaturefriday for the new yogi of the week or see our amazing hosts’ variations : @mrs_khaleesi_gaither @marens_om @belleyogatokyo @ninayoganow @yogafter40 @renny_sito @xpmoves @cissynansera @yogathletica How to play: post your version of the day’s pose anytime throughout the week. add the hashtag # yogifeaturefriday if you are shadowbanned or can’t see yourself under the hashtag, tag us so we don’t miss you spread love and light by supporting each other stay tuned in!

Once again, the community came through, raising $1789.29 in both Instagram and direct donations on a $1000 challenge for @soidogfoundation The Soi Dog Foundation works exclusively in Asia to save animals and fight animal cruelty, but heard the call and for the first time ever stepped in to assist in the anima...l welfare crisis in Ukraine.

#8crazyposesandflowses3 Day Eight The last day of the challenge and I offer you this braided knot. You can try to dissect it, but it’s going to be hard!... This final pose is meant as a reminder that we are all miraculous individuals with unparalleled gifts...and we are all inextricably linked. My family-family, my friend-family, my social media-family, and my complete strangers-family. We are all one. Never forget your power as a person...and how much more powerful we all are as a community! My prayer is for mutual love, respect and understanding between all good people of the world. We may not look alike or think alikeor even practice yoga alikebut we are the family of man and on the soul level, we are exactly the same. Happy, blessed holidays, no matter what you celebrate. And may we have peace on earth. Challenge details: It’s the Festival of Lights, Eight Crazy Nights! #8crazyposesandflowses3 is here! . .

I am certain that walking in titibhasana (can you tell I NEVER practice this???) was put into the astanga series as a joke.

#8crazyposesandflowses3 Day Seven (you knew I had to throw in one of these!) My kindness for the day is a daily kindness. I am very, very strict vegan...strictly for animal welfare reasons (though the environmental benefits are a huge bonus!).... I went vegetarian in January 1992 and vegan in 2013...the exact day I found out how inextricably linked the milk and egg industries are to the meat industry. My commitment to kindness far predates my yoga practice, as respect for ALL LIFE has been the cornerstone of my decisions. #ahimsa #govegan Challenge details: It’s the Festival of Lights, Eight Crazy Nights! #8crazyposesandflowses3 is here! . .

#8crazyposesandflowses3 Day Six I wasn’t going to post this because it is so similar to a pose that @akenasc created for #twinnytwosdays but since I shot this a week before her post, I thought it’s a cool testament to how great minds think alike. My kindness for the day is that I spend a tremendous amount of time and energy trying to combat anti-Semitism.... I am involved with more organizations than I can count including being an amateur diplomat with the international Jewish Diplomatic Corps. Fighting anti-Semitism is the most important work I do in my life and a cause I will champion forever. I am proud to be Jewish and I am so proud of the Jewish people. Anti-Semitism accounts for a tremendously disproportionate percentage of hate crime worldwide and the highest rates of hatred are among people who have never met a Jew. Think about that.

#8crazyposesandflowses3 Day Five bowl pose! My kindness for the day is that I have been reciting the Kaddish (Mourner’s Prayer) and Psalm 23, plus a short sermon on my personal Facebook page every day since early April for anyone who has lost his or her life either due to or during this pandemic. The tragedy of this time can’t be distilled to facts and figures. Each human life is a universe and needs to be honored.... When I started doing this, I thought it would be for, maybe, a few weeks. It’s been over 250 days now and the prayers, quite honestly, help me to make it through each day.

An early bird reminder that tomorrow is #twinnytwosdays ! Featuring my sweet, sweet friend, @secondaxis .

Want to hop in on #8crazyposesandflowses3 Day Four? My kindness for the day was filling out reams of paperwork to foster older doggies from the shelter. So many people are adopting these days, which is wonderful (#adoptdontshop !)...and all that is left at the shelter are older and often ill dogs.... I looked on the site for about one second before I was overcome with tears and completely overwhelmed with sadness. I wish I could save them all! Meanwhile, will do what I can.
