Therapy workshop for the lower back

Hanumanasana - again🤦‍♀️?!
Curiosity to explore each asana from inside out is a key to deepen into the yoga subject.
Hanumanasana- I’m experimenting this one daily for years. There are many different ways, and today I placed the quarter round for back frontal thigh to roll it in & up.

How do you like to practice Hanumanasana?

You don’t like?
Why should you listen to your mind who tells you to avoid it? Is it too intense? Is it too much of a stretch? Is everything else in your life easy???
The mind tendency is to be closer to the body and not to the Self (the soul). The mind is dragged by the senses of perception. Therefore the mind is interested in what it see, like a beautiful car. Wants tasty food. Crave for a great smell or the feeling of your friends soft sofa.
When we practice a challenging pose (and Hanumanasana is challenging for me), the mind tries to drag you towards bhoga (enjoyment). If you are interested in apavarga (liberation). If you are interested in trying to find peace and quiet in your own self. To feel content. Then the intelligence should remind you how to practice each pose with alignment and not to be influenced by the mind.
Practice your challenging pose in different ways & use your senses of perception to explore it with you. Don’t leave your senses of perception out. If you do so, you will not be able to deepen your practice. You will not be able to practice on your own at all. I’m going for a verity in my practice to insure my senses avoid dragging my mind out. If my sense drag me out, then I can’t stay on my mat. Ill be dragged by the mind & it’s desires.

Asana chances the frame of reference, and the verity of asanas help you to do that. Abhijata.

Go practice Hanumanasana or any challenging pose too❤️

Viparita Dandasana over a bench- working down towards the lower shoulder blades. A self massage.

Hanumanasana - a new bench joined my studio. Do you remember the feeling of receiving a new toy? So that’s how I feel. It brings new ideas for my practice.
Go practice in a different spaces, with different props, explore neglected asanas, and enrich your practice ❤️
