Chairs, Dancers, Wheels and Headstands!

With the holidays just around the corner, advertising has upped the ante to get into our hearts and wallets. I had to do a double take watching the GAP Holiday Cheer commercial.

Partnered Utkatasana!


On the floor, there are dancers doing Dancer Pose!


There in the front! Wheels on the side (rather good ones, even in heels) and a tripod headstand in the middle!

Marvel at the yoga of Holiday Cheer!
Happy Holidays.

Tree Pose

Reading a post at Pretty Much Amazing, I came across this rather stylin' Tree Pose from Solange (Beyonce's little sister).

Headstand Setup

Styled and shot by Trussardi 1911 creative director, Milan Vukmirovic, Simone Bredariol rather apathetically sets up for a headstand in VMAN Magazine #16. If only it wasn't for that gorgeously styled hair, Simone would be able to bend over and spring up into Sirsasana A.
