Asanas are like vitamin pills—we RECEIVE benefits from them.
Sitting Forward Bends offer CALMNESS and from Shoulderstand, TRANQUILITY. We turn to Standing Positions for STRENGTH, CONFIDENCE and STABILITY. And, to keep our BALANCE—physically and emotionally—there are the Balancing Asanas.
Being upside down in Standing Forward Bends or the Headstand provides us with VITALITY to process and move forward in spite of desperate situations. When our life is turned upside down, we survive!
Backbends deserve gold stars for CLEANSING our bodies, while Tadasana and Savasana provide us with the time to INTEGRATE the changes.
Practicing asanas on flow—from our intuition—assists us in choosing asanas that support our unique daily lives. For example, when life is overwhelming, a long and extended forward bend series greatly CALMS us, without repressing our emotions.
Instead, increasing CALMNESS helps us PROCESS our issues.
At other times, Twists create incredible BALANCE and SENSITIVITY in our bodies and minds.
Asanas are like vitamin pills. We take the ones we need to support us at any given time
