Yoga is more than asana or the poses you see on Instagram, even my Instagram! Yoga is comprised of eight limbs which provide us with a deeper and more meaningful way of life.
I didn’t do my first crow pose until I was 51, five years ago. Since then I have grown stronger and have acquired greater balance.
I’m turning 56 in a couple of weeks and I have a goal by 60. It is to do a “floating handstand”…
The difference between asana yoga and other types of bodywork is simple. And it may be different for everyone.
Yoga is not all about the poses, but in my fifties, arm balances make me feel strong, joyful, happy and free. I see no reason to stop challenging myself.
Yo pensaba que era incapaz de sentarme a meditar. Pero resulta que lo que necesitaba era dedicarle más tiempo. Tú también puedes.
I fell in love with restorative yoga four years ago and recently became certified to teach it. These poses with bolsters or pillows will help you sleep.
Asana was originally lotus or half lotus pose, and later evolved into yoga poses designed to keep the body limber and the mind focused to meditate.
I love asana, but I am in love with the eight limbs of yoga, particularly with the Yamas and Niyamas, which provide us with tools to lead a conscious life.
To prove that challenging oneself has nothing to do with age, I´m sharing a photo of Pauline, 81, and a photo of myself, 55, doing the same asana.
I used to think restorative yoga was a waste of time and energy, until I started reaping its benefits. You should try it too!
