I’m Rachel. Here you’ll find my thoughts on all things yoga, travel, healthy living, and everything in between.

Focus on what you can control. Find length. Find space. Find calm. Easier said than done for sure. Day 20 of the #prenatalyogachallenge brings the opportunity to engage your entire being while tempting stability. Warrior III is a powerful, yet delicate, posture that invites you to find peace during chaos and strength during resistance. Stay lifted through the heart and locate the line of energy traveling from the back foot out through the crown of the head. Feed that expansion with long, mindful inhalations. · 📷 @drewster207 · · · Join Us! @seantayhall @lifestylenutritionist @sun_city_yogi @pranavidastyle · · · #pregnancy #prenatalyoga #warrioriii #warrior3 #virabhadrasana3 #pregnantyogi #pregnantyoga #prenatal #28weekspregnant #7monthspregnant #yogachallenge #yogaforpregnancy #birthpreparation #pregnantaf #radiant #yogaflow

I'm always caught up on the in-between moments. I could've posted one of the photos where I managed to look zen and balanced for a split second, but I figured this was more true to form. Balancing requires some degree of wobbling and humility and being ok with starting over. It's all good. The way you receive obstacles in yoga is very much a metaphor for how you'll receive them in other aspects of life. Practice your ability to flail with delight and stay patient with yourself on Day 19 of the #prenatalyogachallenge Tree Pose can feel calm, rooted and clear one day - then shakey and jumbled the next. Stay with it and find a variation that suits where you're at. Kickstanding your foot for stability doesn't make you less of a Yogi, it makes you smart for listening. · · · Join Us! @seantayhall @lifestylenutritionist @sun_city_yogi @pranavidastyle · · · #pregnancy #prenatalyoga #treepose #vrksasana #pregnantyogi #pregnantyoga #prenatal #28weekspregnant #7monthspregnant #yogachallenge #yogaforpregnancy #birthpreparation #pregnantaf #radiant #yogaflow
I've been feeling realllllly pregnant lately (yes I'm aware that I've still got a couple months to go) .. but recently things have been shifting and I'm feeling heavy and tired and not quite myself. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love being pregnant, but I'm learning to accept my limitations in an entirely new way. I've had to push my stubborn nature to the side (not easy ♉️) and recognize when I need help or when something is no longer accessible. My yoga practice is a prime example as it's changed significantly to accommodate my new shape and raging heartburn. Luckily, I've found an abundance of things that feel really good and this flow is definitely one of them. It's a play between surrender and control that I really need right now. These are the postures from Days 15-18 of the #prenatalyogachallenge and they compliment each other so beautifully that I had to piece them all together. As you move through the different poses, stay connected to the inner seam of the legs and the strength they posses. Delight in the power you have to nourish yourself and your growing baby through movement.🤰🏼 · · · Join Us! @seantayhall @lifestylenutritionist @sun_city_yogi @pranavidastyle · · · #pregnancy #prenatalyoga #goddesspose #wideleggedforwardfold #sidelunge #halfmoonpose #pregnantyogi #pregnantyoga #prenatal #28weekspregnant #7monthspregnant #yogachallenge #yogaforpregnancy #birthpreparation #pregnantaf #radiant #yogaflow
really in the mood for a long drive with no real destination... #letsgo #shotgun #love #itswhatmakesasubaruasubaru 🤫
Welllpp - I missed a few days, but it's all good. An important part of consistency in practice not beating yourself up for falling off course for a second. Listen inward and recognize when to take a break and when you need a little push forward. Use the time away as fuel for your return but also remember - you're human 👌🏼 So here I am with a flow for you to try that incorporates Days 11-14 of the #prenatalyogachallenge 🤰🏼 Lizard is a super fun hip opener with tons of space for possibility. If you'd like to make it more restorative slide a bolster under your torso and ease into a sweet hip release. Warrior 1 was the hardest pose for me to get the hang of - I felt for the longest time like I was doing something crazy unnatural with my back foot/leg. What helped me was really focusing on the hip points moving forward while grounding through the back foot and letting the tail drop down. If it still feels wonky to you, don't worry just embrace it. In Warrior 2 and Reverse Warrior really enjoy the strength of the legs while that front knee opens towards the pinky toe side of the mat. Let this hips soften down and stay active in the legs while lengthening across the upper body. · · · Join Us! @seantayhall @lifestylenutritionist @sun_city_yogi @pranavidastyle · · · #prenatalyoga #pregnancy #lizardpose #warrior1 #warriori #warriorii #warrior2 #reversewarrior #virabhadrasana #pregnantyogi #pregnantyoga #prenatal #27weekspregnant #yogachallenge #yogaforpregnancy #birthpreparation
