Growth in yoga is not about perfection ~ it’s about progression.

Start where you are, trust the process, and let every variation prepare your body for the full expression of the pose.

Chair-Supported Ustrasana
Perfect for beginners to safely open the chest and improve back flexibility with extra support.

Bolster-Supported Ustrasana
Helps deepen the heart-opening stretch while reducing pressure on the lower back and improving posture.

Full Ustrasana (Camel Pose)
A powerful backbend that strengthens the spine, improves flexibility, boosts energy, and opens the heart chakra.

Every small step leads to a stronger and more confident you.

Yoga blocks could also be used to modify Camel.

Disclaimer: Use caution, especially if you have any back / spine issues. Always consult your doctor prior to starting any fitness or yoga program. Listen to your body, there should be no pain for any of these postures. If you experience pain, stop immediately. All forms of yoga and exercise can be modified to accommodate every body and everybody!

I have not touched on our Chakra system, our energy Centers, at all really and they are such an integral part of your yoga practice.

This chart offers illustrations of 'some' of the asanas (poses) that correlate with your Chakras. There are also essential oils that support keeping our Chakra aligned.

What does that mean? you may ask! A simple answer would look like 'when any or all of our Chakras are out of alignment we feel 'off' in some way we have a hard time to articulate.

IMO our yoga practice is so very important to keeping our Chakras in alignment and we know this works because of how much better we generally feel after a practice.

The essential oils add another layer in the mix and I will touch on this more in depth later.

Whether you're a beginner to yoga or a seasoned practitioner, all the work we do is to bring awareness to our 'mind/body' connection, and I know that sounds woowoo, but some of those woowoo things look like holistic wellness and bring homeostasis (balance) to our body.

I've been of the mindset for many years, 2 decades to be more concise, that anything I (we) can do to be proactive in our health, wellness and fitness to stave off dis-ease, disease, aging well, and being strong and healthy, is what I am going to do.

It is never too late to start taking better care of yourself!

Today I am celebrating 18 years of teaching yoga!

Blessed for the thousands of students who've crossed my path.
Blessed for the love that found me.
Blessed for this strong body that has carried me through.

Miracles have happened along the way, including a spinal cord injury that could have taken me right out, yet...here I am.

Thank you for being here!

Love,
Tandy

Relieve cervical spine and neck tension naturally with these 9 effective yoga poses.

From shoulder openers to gentle spinal stretches, each pose helps improve posture, release tight muscles, increase flexibility, and reduce stiffness caused by long sitting hours or screen time. Practice slowly, breathe deeply, and let your body relax into every movement for maximum relief.

Illustration for educational purposes only.

Always consult your doctor before beginning any new exercise or yoga.

On a personal note, I have a titanium plate and 8 screws in my cervical spine from a long ago car accident and I move with awareness and caution in any yoga sequence.

When exploring ways to work with the cervical always err on the side of safety first.

I've been teaching yoga over 17 years and have been a personal trainer for 20 years, specializing in women's health & fitness. So my neck doesn't slow me down much, but I am very mindful how and what I do, and I would want you to be safe too!

Daily Wrist Routine:

• Squeeze & Open – activates forearm muscles
