OM Yogis.
I hope you are all doing good.
Today's practice is inspired by the Gargoyle. Holding poses a little longer - becoming statuesque - embodying our strength as it stands in the moment.
Gargoyles are thought to have been placed around sacred buildings to protect them. We will look at how we can use the inspiration of the Gargoyle to feel stronger and safer inside of ourselves.
A good practice to Strengthen / Hold self / Develop security
These practices could be done separately I guess, but are best done in succession.
Please set a sacred space for self to support your practice.
Please also feel welcome to take child's pose instead of dog if tired. Remember we are building strength not burning out!

& the Gargoyles!
Please Note -
These Practices are recorded as rough drafts!
They are imperfect and need polishing... But I love them and feel they are worth a share!
Most of the asana practices on this blog are intended for the progression of an established practice of yoga. Over time I will try to add more stuff that is suitable for beginners. This will be clearly labelled as Suitable for beginners.
Its worth revisiting this blog if you are interested in this, as I will be adding more beginners practices to each session as time goes by.
Namaste beautiful's,
Love Julie.
