Asana Tutorial 🙏💪🧘♂️
Here I explain common issues I encounter in my lessons very often
This week: Utkatasana - Chair Pose
Step 1: Stand straight in Mountain Pose, raise both your arms over your head. Keep your arms straight and your spine erect. You can clasp your hands or keep them at shoulder width.
Step 2: Bend your knees and bend your body forward at your hip so it as at a 45° angle to the floor. Relax your calf muscles and keep your lower back straight. Let your weight sink into your pelvis and shift your weight to your heels.
Step 3: Continue lifting your knees toward your face, and roll your back off the mat from your hips to your shoulders. Keep upper arms place firmly on the floor.
This Asana will strengthen your lower back and quads and stretch our your chest and shoulders. It will help your reduce stress.
Save this if you find it helpful 🙏
What do you find tricky about this pose?
A daily practice is most important because it will make you see progress, it will heal your body and mind, it will help you look within... BUT a daily practice does not necesserily have to be handstands and splits as is often portrayed in Instagram. It can be as simple as a sun salutation, one minute of mindful breathing, one spare moment of making time for yourself and do the things that keep you mindful and healthy🙏
I am sure you can name a practice less than 5 minutes than someone can fit into their daily routine 🙌

“The entire universe is just a creation of thought. The play of the mind is just a creation of thought. Abandon the mind which is only thought. Take refuge in the changeless, O Rama, and surely find peace.”
