Ewan Manson: Day 41

So 40 days ago I honestly couldn’t really handstand away from the wall. I had a total mental block about challenging gravity. This morning when I took this picture I knew that the fear that had once been inside me has now gone and it has been replaced with a sense of playfulness. Face your fears. Live your dreams. Nothing in life is what it seems.

Just like perfection….

Day 27 of 365

Heart opening at the wall. My little perfectionist is being triggered with this challenge. Some days are a struggle to not want to be seen while other days I’m quite happy to be an exhibitionist! Feeling more like hiding today…thus the heart opening to welcome in some space for imperfection. I really should have taken this pic in my messiest room in the house!

This is me, Alyx Kottmeier
Im a gypsy. I Love my yoga reading and being creative , I LOVE HANDSTANDS all kinds in all places 

Victoria Keen told me about you and your challenge. I have dyslexia and moving like the wind makes me feel at home, its my play.

Here is my bio. My Yoga journey started when I walked into Yoga Pod in Vancouver at 20 years old, but my first TTC didn’t come till 2006. For the last 13 years I’ve developed such a strong relationship with asanas that I truly believe Yoga has been in me for many lives.

In my Teaching, Jnana, Bhakti, Raja, and Karma Yoga are my foundations. I teach Ashtanga, Vinyasa Flow, Yin, Hatha and the beautiful essence of Yoga Nidra.

Along with yoga, I find my passions in traveling the globe, making Jewelery ,and running my own on line magazine ..hipptrip.com

I feel truly grateful for my teachers and students that continue to to inspire me…

I send you love light , laughter blue berries and chai. Ana, you inspire me in many ways. I shall put you in My Ganesh box and one day hopefully some of your light will gracefully fall open me xoxoxox

Here are my pics of handstands

Forrest Yoga 365 day handstand challenge Hi! I’d like to send you my story and pics…I started the challenge yesterday so it’s still early days but it couldn’t have come at a better time for me as I prepare for the Forrest Yoga Teacher Training in Hong Kong in September. This is the blog I posted on my blog spot… Susan McFadzean, English Teacher, South Korea.

“I came to Korea in the hopes of getting lost, lost in a new culture, lost in a new experience
.and lost I certainly have become. Not in the sense that I initially intended, however. I came to Korea to save up money to do the Forrest Teacher Training, and come hell or high water, extensions or no extensions I will do it. However, I seem to have become slightly lost along the way. After letting go of someone that I truly cared about and then trying to get my head around meeting new people, I have become extremely disillusioned and more importantly

disconnected to my Self. So I

Handstand Day 2 (2)

have started doing the 108 Day Yoga Challenge, and the 365 handstand challenge and have started going to the temple  every week
so far so good, I am still struggling, but am starting to feel more connected to my sacred energy, and starting to get my confidence back again.

 

Over the last few weeks I have become more in tune, more aware of the essence of what it is that I’m doing with my life, and even though I still feel
cloudy and unsure of myself, I am trying to follow my gut and go with what I know to be true for me. I have only begun to learn to ‘stand on my own two hands’ but I will get there one arm balance and inversion at a time!”
