3. RobinMartinYoga – Robin Martin

Happy Friday! Big open heart for tomorrow's pose for #JanuaryJumpStart2016 ❤ Day 2 is Urdhva Dhanurasa or wheel pose. This deep heart opener stretches the chest and lungs, opens the shoulders and strengthens the arms, wrists, legs, abs and spine. ❤️ A few simple tips on entering the pose safely – 1. Begin lying on your back, feet hip with distance with feet as close to your seat as possible. 2. Place hands, palms down, on either side of the head, fingers spread wide pointing toward the shoulders. 3. Root down through your inner feet. Keeping feet and thighs parallel, begin to press through the feet to lift the hips. Contract your quadriceps and hamstrings, avoid contraction of the glutes (release your butt! ;-)). 4. With fingers spread wide, press through the palms to gently lift to the crown of the head. Integrate shoulder blades onto back ribs. 5. Press through both hands and feet and exhale to lift your head off of the floor. Work the arms straight, open through the front body. Inwardly rotate the thighs slightly, reach the tailbone long and again – don't squeeze your butt! Most importantly, don't forget to breathe! Bridge pose is an excellent alternative if wheel pose isn't in your practice at this time. Check in with @pocketdwarf tomorrow evening for day 3. Big thanks to the rest of the crew – @yoga_ky and @seanphelpslife and our sponsors @fireandshine and @eastonwestapparel. My leggings are by @vieactivewear, available at @fireandshine. #open #friday #fridayvibes

Everything you've ever experienced in this lifetime has brought you to this moment. Every challenge, every heartache, every difficult situation you've lived through has prepared you for what's ahead. You are ready. It's time you do what's right for you. Leave doubt at the door and claim your space! Speak your truth. Stand in your own power. Walk with your head held high and never for a moment stop trusting that you have the ability to move through whatever it is that life has presented you with in this moment. Now, take action. You know what to do. @oneoeight.tv #warriorup #power #community #truth #life

9. Talia_Sutra – Talia Grace Peretz

Judgment is necessary. We must be able to tell things apart in order to understand their nature and purpose…but, I think, true judgment must be a product of compassion. If it comes from a non-compassionate, misaligned or corrupted source, it is no longer just and therefore does not merit the position. #loveandalliscoming #yoga #onenessnotsameness Photo by @roco_runs, wearing @aloyoga

Last night I experienced one of the most beautiful, crazy, loud, joyful, freeing and connected New Years celebrations (or any party for that matter) of my life. As I took a moment of silence amidst the insanity my eyes welled with tears and my body covered in goosebumps- grateful for every thought and action that had lead me to that moment in time and space. Life truly is a beautiful thing and it is imperative you live your life under the paradigm that "each and every interaction is unique and irreplaceable." Live and love from the depths of your soul. #thrive #thailand #newyears : @caleyalyssa
