Alignment Is an Invitation: Finding Strength, Safety, and Freedom in Your Yoga Practice Your yoga practice isn’t about forcing your body into a shape. It’s about learning how to move with awareness, strength, stability, and respect for the body you have today.
In yoga, we often hear the word alignment. It can sometimes sound like there is one “perfect” way to position the body in every pose. But true alignment is much more personal and dynamic than that. Alignment is about creating a relationship between your body, your breath, your intention, and the shape you are exploring. And sometimes, the most aligned choice you can make is to modify. Alignment Is Not About Looking Perfect Every body is different. Our bone structure, proportions, mobility, strength, previous movement experiences, and even how we feel from day to day all influence the way a pose looks and feels. That means your Warrior II will not necessarily look like your neighbor’s Warrior II. Your forward fold may look completely different from someone else’s. And that is not a problem to be fixed—it is simply the reality of practicing in a human body. Rather than asking, “Does my pose look right?” consider asking: “Does this position allow me to breathe, feel stable, and work with intention?” That shift in perspective can transform your practice. Props Are Tools, Not Signs of Weakness Blocks, straps, blankets, bolsters, and other props are some of the most valuable tools we have in yoga. A block can bring the floor closer to you, allowing you to maintain a longer spine rather than rounding or collapsing simply to reach the ground. A strap can give you additional length and connection when your hands don't quite meet. A blanket can provide support and cushioning. A bolster can help you settle into a restorative shape without asking your body to work harder than necessary. Using a prop doesn't mean you aren't strong enough to do the pose. It means you are intelligent enough to meet your body where it is. In fact, props can help us develop strength and awareness by allowing us to experience the intention of a posture without forcing ourselves into its deepest expression. Modification Is Part of Progress There is sometimes an assumption that modifying a pose means taking the “easy way out.” But modification is not the opposite of progress. Modification is progress when it helps you practice consistently, safely, and with greater awareness. Perhaps your knee doesn't feel good in a particular variation. Maybe your shoulders need a different position. Perhaps your hips are tight today, or you're tired from a long week. Maybe the traditional version of a pose simply isn't the best expression for your body. You have choices. You can widen your stance. Bend your knees. Lower your arms. Use a block. Shorten your range of motion. Change the position of your feet. Come out of the pose sooner. Or choose an entirely different variation. These choices don't take away from your practice. They are your practice. Strength Doesn't Always Mean Going Deeper One of the most important lessons yoga can teach us is that intensity and depth are not the same thing. Going deeper into a pose is not automatically more advanced. Sometimes strength means staying. Sometimes strength means backing off. Sometimes strength means holding a position with steady breath rather than pushing toward a larger range of motion. And sometimes the strongest choice is recognizing that your body needs something different today. A sustainable practice is not built by repeatedly overriding the body's signals. It is built by developing the ability to listen, respond, and adapt. Alignment Helps Us Build a Sustainable Practice When we practice with thoughtful alignment, we create an opportunity to develop strength and stability in a way that supports our long-term practice. This doesn't mean that yoga should become rigid or fearful. Quite the opposite. Good alignment gives us a foundation from which we can explore. It helps us become more aware of where we are placing our weight, how we are organizing our joints, where we are creating stability, and how we are using our muscles. Over time, that awareness becomes more than something we experience on the mat. It can influence the way we stand, walk, lift, sit, and move through everyday life. There Is More Than One Expression of a Pose Think of an asana as having a purpose rather than a single appearance. There may be several ways to create the same fundamental action. You might practice a standing pose with a narrower or wider stance. You might bring your hands to blocks rather than the floor. You might keep your knees bent in a forward fold. You might practice a modified version of an inversion. You might choose child's pose instead of another posture altogether. Each variation offers something different. The goal isn't to collect the most difficult poses. The goal is to develop a relationship with your practice that is strong enough to evolve with you. Practice With Curiosity, Not Judgment The next time you step onto your mat, notice what happens when you remove the pressure to make every pose look a certain way. Try a block. Reach for a strap. Bend your knees. Take a wider stance. Choose a different variation. Rest. Then notice. How does your breath change? Where do you feel effort? Where do you feel stability? Can you create more space? Can you soften without collapsing? Can you work without forcing? These questions are yoga. Your Practice Is Yours There is no prize for making a pose look the deepest, most dramatic, or most advanced. The real achievement is developing the awareness to know what your body needs—and the courage to honor it. Alignment is not about fitting your body into a pose. It's about finding the version of the pose that allows your body to participate fully, safely, and intelligently. Props are not a crutch. Modifications are not failures. Rest is not weakness. And changing your practice is not giving up. These are all ways of practicing with wisdom. So the next time you reach for a block or strap, or choose a different variation of a familiar asana, remember: You aren't doing less yoga. You are practicing more consciously. And that awareness is one of the most powerful ways to grow—stronger, healthier, and more connected to your practice, one breath at a time.

"Namaste means that whatever is precious and beautiful in me honors whatever is precious and beautiful in you.” — Debasish Mridha #Namaste!
We hear it in class, we say it post-class, but do we know what it means? Namaste is an ancient Sanskrit word with Hindu roots that dates all the way back to the Vedic period. It’s an expression used for thousands of years. While Namaste has many different translations and uses, it is above all an expression of respect. Namaste is a declaration of appreciation, a non-contact expression of respect towards another person, entity or deity. It can be used as a hello greeting and even as a goodbye, so you might say Namaste upon meeting someone, or before parting ways. It is derived from two key Sanskrit words: Namah: bow, adoration, salutation Te: to you Are you ready to honor yourself and others with a Namaste greeting, but you’re not sure how to express it correctly? The good news: there is no ‘right’ way to say Namaste, as long as it is used as an expression of reverence, respect and gratitude. It is a three-syllable word pronounced naah – muh – stay. Just like chanting Om, you may or may not feel comfortable bowing and saying Namaste at the end of a yoga class. Only you can decide if incorporating Namaste into your practice and interactions with others makes sense. You can most certainly convey the intention behind Namaste without ever speaking the word, if you so choose. Just like your asana practice, honor yourself, and meet yourself where you are. If and when you’re ready to say Namaste, you’ll know. VUORI SHOUT OUT Upper East Side's Vuori store was flooded last weekend for their biggest event since opening. Thanks to all the followers, friends and fam that showed up and showed out. The staff at Vuori, the Maman breakfast bites, and the treats... it all was a perfect cocktail for a Sunday flow. HOT VINYASA IN L.I.C. QUEENS "Something new is taking shape in Long Island City. Quietly, intentionally, and with purpose. It’s not a gym, not a clinic, and not a spa, but something that lives in between. A space designed for real healing, where modern science meets deeper, timeless practices. Thoughtfully built for how we actually live, move, and recover. We’re not saying much yet, but it’s coming soon." -- From Healspace's website. THE SCHEDULE?

Many prospective teachers, graduates of teacher training(s) and a handful of you that have a desire just to dive deeper into the many aspects of a yoga practice and teaching yoga regularly have been greatly impacted by our bespoke mentoring program. Mentorship sessions can include sharing the exact experience lived, the practical wisdom I and other teachers have gained from our journey in their domain. We are highly skilled at directing strategies and processes that can sometimes transfer across different contexts. Yoga is a journey as much as a practice. In fact, it's a journey that should never end. Those of us on that journey should be open to learning new things. We should be open to new experiences. That is what mentorship offers. It's an opportunity for a more experienced yoga teacher to share their experiences with you. We are ready to work with anyone on a 1:1 basis or mini-group. There will be suggestions for your practice/teachings, you get a catered-to-you manual with loads of vital information and you can take notes and record your questions or concerns. I will curate a personalized practice for you, based on your interest, needs, questions and situation. You then take this practice into your own life. What you discover, feel, experience, or learn via the lens of our personal practice will then create the context for potential offerings or paths you take whether in your personal or business life. The practices may be adapted, changed, modified, or added to. This relationship is important for professional yoga teachers. It’s important because as we dive into the industry we often muddy the waters between ‘teaching’ and ‘personal path.' Furthermore the environment of the yoga industry can be difficult to navigate. No one should try to do it on their own. What if you're not a teacher and would like to prepare for training or enhance your ever-hungry-desire to absorb all things yoga? Holla' at me. Feel like your 200 hour training ended with you needing more questions answered? Want to expand on those teachings? Do you feel like there are areas of your teaching repertoire that need enhancing?

Shout to Vuori clothing ... #therisetheshine NAMASTE, Victor Cotto Instagram: CottoVic Facebook: Yoga With Victor - Vicyasa™ MARCHING FORWARD WITH OPTIMISM (This week's newsletter was composed by our dynamic on-demand teacher and full time writer Elinor Cohen. Check out her Instagram HERE and her amazingly empowering advanced & intermediate sessions on our on-demand archives.) March is a tricky time of year. It’s not quite spring but it’s no longer fully winter either. It’s a muddy in-between area that’s often riddled with anticipation. This can leave even the most settled and secure yogis in a state of flux. Where do we land? Where are we in space? Are we sinking into the mud? How can we find solid ground?
If all of these metaphors sound familiar to themes you’ve heard before, that’s because March is smack dab in the middle of Kapha season. This Ayurvedic time of year is characterized by moisture, humidity, and heaviness. It’s the transition time between the dry, windy winter and the sunny new beginnings of spring. There’s dampness and sluggishness but that’s temporary; it’s all in preparation for positive changes that are set to take place in the near future. There may be some anxiety around this season as well as some anxiousness. Perhaps you’re feeling antsy and starting to go stir crazy at home. After months of being bundled up in coats and scarves, the suggestion of warmer weather being right around the corner seems too good to be true. The promise of relief feels like a tease but it’s okay to believe that it’s coming because… it is! Days will become longer again, the sun will linger in the sky longer, and you’ll soon be able to drop your shoulders and breathe in the freshness of new blooms. Channel that optimistic energy. We may not be to the other side quite yet but it’s not far off. It’s within reach. This month, see if you can adopt a forward-thinking mindset. While yoga teaches us to learn to live in the present moment, it’s also acceptable to look ahead to all the positivity that’s waiting for us. Excited anticipation is a good thing so let yourself live in that! Interested in bringing this onto the mat? Several poses that may help you embody this mentality include:
There are tons of other poses that can help you embody the positivity that awaits. Perhaps there are also some poses you’re interested in bringing into your asana repertoire. Whether you’ve been itching to get deeper into your full split (hanumanasana) or have a goal to learn to love chair pose (utkatasana), now is the time to start thinking about how to put those ambitions into action. COMING SOON... Weekend intensives!!! Want to practice sequence building? Want to learn functional anatomy and how to apply it to your yoga practice? Want a small intimate group to get feedback on how to teach clearly, concisely and with command? I'll be hosting small groups of 2-3 students for weekend intensives with lectures, and workshop style exercises for you to sharpen your practice and teachings.

PAYMENT: VENMO -- @Vicyasa Paypal -- [email protected] NAMASTE, Victor Cotto www.YogaWithVictor.com Instagram: CottoVic Facebook: Yoga With Victor - Vicyasa™ "Clean the body, yes, we take a bath one, two, three times a day. How many times do you meditate to clean the mind? You take a bath to clean the body; you meditate to clean the mind. There is nothing more to it." -- Yogi Bhajan Let's talk again about the Yamas and Niyamas.... our ethical and moral guidelines outlined in classical Yoga philosophy, particularly in Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras. This foundational Yoga text provides a comprehensive approach to practicing and embodying all the limbs of Yoga. The Yamas and Niyamas are the first two limbs and aim to help us cultivate a balanced and harmonious life. Saucha is the first niyama, or yogic observance, in yogic teachings. Sauchacan be translated from Sanskrit to mean “purity” or “cleanliness.” This extends beyond just physical cleanliness, but also includes cleanliness in your environment, your mental state, and your daily approach to life. The theme for March is Saucha, or purity. When we heat the body through breathwork and intentional movement, we purify the body from the inside out. When we create a daily ritual of yoga (whether it’s an hour long hot class or 10 minutes of Sun Salutations at home) the body gets used to this method of detoxification. The sweat released from the body during a fiery practice will cleanse the body. The practice of Saucha also translates to the environment around you; as you prepare your space for practice, take a few moments to be mindful of your setup. Perhaps you begin by cleaning your mat. Place props such as yoga blocks in a space where they are accessible, and not causing haphazard clutter around you. Your personal hygiene pre-and-post class as well we practice Saucha. Likely, you’ve heard some iteration of the dictum “Your body is a temple” and taking care of your hygienic needs is a small, but important way to honor your physical vessel. Ultimately, staying present: an essential teaching that recognizes that each moment is pure, just as it is. Instead of trying to rush through a pose, derailing a teacher's sequence, avoidance towards whatever lies ahead, or remaining stuck in the past, finding a bit of acceptance in the “right now” is how we can keep the mind clean, clear and calm. By staying away from the “unclean” thoughts (fear, anxiety, ego, possessions) we open up space for authentic, kind and pure mind space. Maintaining cleanliness in our bodies, minds, and surroundings, we create an environment that supports our overall well-being and spiritual growth. This inner and outer cleanliness allows us to live more freely and joyfully, aligned with our true purpose. VUORI CLOTHING x VICYASA™ On Wednesday February 26th, we had a filled store for an AMAZING meet/greet and flow at the Vuori flagship store in SOHO.

PAYMENT: VENMO -- @Vicyasa Paypal -- [email protected] NAMASTE, Victor Cotto www.YogaWithVictor.com Instagram: CottoVic Facebook: Yoga With Victor - Vicyasa™ Here is part 2 of our Teacher Feature with my colleague and co-host of ‘The Wild Heart’ Yoga retreat -which is right around the corner - the amazing Luna Castilho. Get to know her a tad more... and come meet her March 31 - April 6 at Villa Pescadores in Tulum Mexico during our yoga getaway.
QUESTION: What are challenging poses for you? What pose are you looking to advance in? LUNA: Surprisingly backbends have always been challenging for me. But the pose I'd like to truly master is the handstand. QUESTION: How would you describe your classes? LUNA: My classes are weird, playful and grounding! You can expect powerful flows combined by mindful contemplations and grounding experiences, as well as somatic release, working the body, mind, soul and spirit. On vinyasa I love giving space for people to play and have fun (arm balances, handstands) and tons of pranayama. On Yin yoga classes, meditation, restorative or sound baths, my goal is to help you release, reflect, quiet the mind and heal. QUESTION: Do you like working out at night, or during the day? Time you like to practice? LUNA: I don’t like early mornings, you will see me rarely working out at that time. I feel the most alive and energetic from 11-6pm, so usually that’s the time I practice power vinyasa or other modalities of strength training, cardio or martial arts. QUESTION: Standing one-legged poses or arm balances? Why? LUNA: I don’t even need to think about it too much to answer this question. (Laughing) Although I appreciate a full rounded practice and I learn to appreciate so many different layers of yoga, I absolutely looooove arm balances. I can safely admit they were the reason that I got into yoga in the first place. And that’s the reason you see me teaching them so much and giving plenty of opportunities for my students to play. Arm balances make me feel like a kid again. I was never a flexible person, but I have always been strong, so arm balances were my doorway to yoga. As my practice evolved I started to appreciate so many other aspects of yoga, meditation, stillness, etc. But I still love the surprise look at someone’s face when they realize how strong a woman can actually be! QUESTION: What are you looking forward to on our "The Wild Heart" Retreat? LUNA: Every single thing!! (laughs) The Wild Heart Retreat will be special!! I’m excited about every single thing we are planning, from the crafted yoga classes and workshops, to the mayan jungle, pyramid, cenotes, hikes and experiences. Plus the incredible community that is joining us!! Looking forward to connecting with like-minded people, the stunning beaches, the Mexican sun, the blue water, the daily yoga classes, meditation, journaling and breathwork. The Retreat is a true opportunity to reset, reconnect and set new goals, release, re-start, re-center. Yoga retreats have always been a true healing experience for me! I can't wait to hold space and connect with all of you! QUESTION: What do you love about Sui Yoga? LUNA: I’ve been at Sui since day one. I saw Sui grow from one studio with 2 students attending, two with a full day full schedule, 2 simultaneous studios with 45 people each. We’ve grown! And I think what is special at Sui besides the well crafted teachers and space, is that Sui provides us a place to be ourselves! We don’t ask the teachers to fit a certain box, every single one of us is so different and yet we have so much to offer. As we allow the teachers to be themselves and share their craft, we allow the students to connect with teachers on a deeper level. Sui is not meant to be a workout place, Sui is meant to be a holistic healing space, that among many things allow us to move. We aim to incorporate the true meaning of yoga, union of the body, mind and spirit. Follow Luna on Instagram HERE and check out her official website: HERE.

Love and light, NAMASTE, Victor Cotto www.YogaWithVictor.com Instagram: CottoVic Facebook: Yoga With Victor - Vicyasa™ “Yoga is invigoration in relaxation. Freedom in routine. Confidence through self control. Energy within and energy without.” Yoga and meditation encourage you to turn your focus inward and to listen to your deeper, more intuitive thoughts. As you gain more insight into your true nature, your values and your goals become much clearer. From such a loving, sacred place within yourself, you can make decisions about what you want, and don’t want, in life. By living such an authentic life you are showing nothing but love for yourself.
Despite years of regular weekly lessons, practitioners may not be able to draw their attention inwards and one reason sometimes is due to an emphasis on competitive achievement. People’s competitive sides often prevent the mind from directing inward. This competitive way of directing attention outwardly during yoga lessons does not lead into deep practices. Prematurely focusing on advanced postures is another reason for not tapping into higher states of yoga. Many years ago, students did not have access to the numerous pictures of complex yoga postures that are seen scattered across the internet. One method of teaching had the teacher only demonstrating the next and more advanced posture when the aspirant was ready to receive the new knowledge. In such schools, beginners did not practice with or even look into advanced classes. In this manner the student remained blank, their attention focused on a present practice and not future possibilities. The direction the student took was decided by the teacher, based on the innate talent of the student. Regardless of where you are in your practice, yoga will teach you to appreciate your body and its abilities. It’s common to start yoga and think you should immediately be able to do an inversion or arm balance and when you can’t - we beat ourselves up for it. It doesn’t take long, however, before the essence of yoga grabs you and you become aware of the negative self-talk and find a way to switch it off. The more you turn up and tune in, the easier this gets. The more you come to see your body in a different light and realise that it is truly amazing. We then cherish what we can do, what we can accomplish and not look at ourselves with judgement, but with a love that only comes through when we embrace a practice that is devoted and adoring the self.
