Meaning: she tends to run hot.

Teaching Ashtanga at a little studio in Manado, she’s learned a few things: Avoid holding inversions too long. Focus on calming poses like salama sarvangasana. Practice your Asanas at dawn or dusk.

Also: wear airy, cooling clothing (she tossed this tunic on after class).

If you feel you sometimes run hot, I recommend this softly embroidered and feathery light solution. Even if you’ve never been to the little island of Sulawesi, I think you’ll appreciate its refreshing qualities.
