Yoga Asanas
A form of a gentle back bend, or spinal stretch, Locust Pose uses the strength of the upper and middle back to lift the weight of the legs as high as possible from a starting position face down on the floor
There are asanas that bring strength and balance to our bodies, and the mind as well. In the standing postures we learn to balance and equalise the weight of the body, so that we do not throw the weight of the body sideways, nor forward, nor backward, but find our centre and the world from there.
Kapotasana opens the pelvic region and releases the sacrum. This is stimulating for the first and second chakra, which rule the earth element and the water element in the body respectively
The Upward Bow or Wheel Pose is about complete involvement. Chakra means “wheel” which denotes a circle without beginning or end. Urdhva Dhanurasana is therefore about wholeness and unity – it is also the ultimate energising asana.
