an integral part of Yoga Practice helps in deep relaxation and a equal flow of oxygen and energy through every part of the body. It gives the body time to integrate the practice it has just been through. As we relax, our parasympathetic nervous system gets activated, calming the heart rate, bringing in a sense of internal peace, and a reducing the release of stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol.

Backbends for spine
Deepening it with partner for confidence

A phrase from Bhagavat Gita!
Yoga is when the mind is in a balanced state.
Yoga is skill in action. In yoga we are equanimous in success and failure. In Yoga, we are steadfast to our duty. In Yoga we are equipoised , when we are neither elated nor dejected by achievements and setbacks, by pleasure and pain, by outcomes, we are in true state of evenness.

Knowing and identifying our own limitations we go beyond our comfort for the sake of the other/partner.
Not just on the mat or in the studio, that’s how we ought to live in this world.

It isn’t about avoiding, skipping, not trying or even just doing it. It is about how you’re doing it.

Help open your hip joints and your body to release the stress that accumulates around that region.
Open up your chest cavity to release grief, anger, discontent and fear.
Flex your spine to improve the quality of your life.

Whether aided or not, both ways it is great.
We see and meet people who shy away from using props. What they feel is ‘tougher or more difficult is better’. Whereas, the correctness of the posture is what gives more benefit than the difficulty in doing it.

Here are more ways to stretch and hold asanas with the help of partners.

When it comes to making choices, it is the consciousness that we need to check with.
Making choices and decisions with a dormant consciousness has always lead us towards creating suffering, misuse, exploitation and harm of one or the other, be it ourselves or the community or even life on this planet as a whole.
Whether it is about food, clothes, lifestyle, children, work, oneself, family, community or even the nation, consciousness makes all the difference.
Keeping the consciousness awake is what yoga does to us.

Here’s Anuradha and Rahul after an hour of Yoga this morning. They are expecting parents and their passion for staying fit, happy, positive and calm is unwavering.

when we are CALM, we are always HAPPY and
YOGA is the key to CALM.

ASANAS prepare the body to support and facilitate meditation.

Meditation helps us in being calm, when we are calm we remain unaffected by the turbulences of life, we make better decisions, we function well and we live well.

Even while practicing advance levels, on certain days the body needs some love and care. It is important to go easy to restore, refresh and rejuvenate

EKAPADA RAJAKAPOTASANA
MERMAID POSE

It stretches the hips, quads, groin, and shoulders. It mildly bends the back that opens the heart. Preparing for this pose, we develop the confidence to dwell into more advanced level asanas besides reaping the benefits of what it anyway offers.

comes with correctness in whatever we do.
Correct is not necessarily perfect! Practicing asanas in the correct manner is the right approach than struggling towards perfection. Strength, stability, trust and confidence arise when we are in the path of correctness.

This inverted asana allows blood flow to the brain and heart. This refreshes body's lymphatic and cardiovascular systems increasing the level of energy. It helps in improving oxygen intake and thereby boosts endurance.

With the flow of blood towards the upper body, it enhances spiritual growth shifting the energy from the lower chakras towards the higher ones.

Acknowledging the strengths, talents, and achievements of others, we not only uplift their spirits but also foster our own personal growth. We look beyond ourselves and recognize the beauty and uniqueness in those around us.

A supportive community starts with supporting and celebrating the achievements of others. And that is when we create an atmosphere of positivity, encouragement, happiness, joy and peace.

Backbends stimulate the proper functioning of the digestive system, help preserve the health of the vertebrae and spinal disks, and open the body to deep diaphragmatic breathing. It's no wonder that backbends are an important part of any yoga routine.

Be joyful to be able to spread joy. Let happiness spring inside you to fill the the space around with it. Find peace within so others can resort to you for comfort.

As we say, is not a workout it is working on the inside. Find that time to work towards becoming the source of happiness, peace, joy, love and everything positive.

Yoga is not just exercise, it is lifestyle! What we eat, how we behave, how we breathe, how we think, how we conduct ourselves, what we do … Practicing YOGA changes the perspective towards achievements. It brings happiness, inner peace, good health and well-being. Better living, a better life, a better world is what comes out in the process.

‘Be rooted like a tree’
No matter how tall a tree grows or how large its foliage becomes; its strength comes from how deep its roots go.
