Welcome to a life of Wellness

Supta Virasana

4/5/2018

Supta Virasana✨ Reclined Hero
This pose is meant to emulate courageousness and valor. It creates space in the torso whilst elongates and aligns the spine, fully exposing and expanding the front body. In today's busy world there is more tendacy towards a forward rounding of the shoulders and back... all whilst sitting down, typing into computer screens, or fixated on a little screen. This involuntary (often
 protective) motion physically closes off the chest area, the area where our heart resides. ❤️ So when practicing supta virasana, we “reset” our habitual forward rounding, allowing our courage to lead us into the very exposed space of full openness. Apart from being physically challenging, the emotions that surface as a result of opening our front body in this way can be intense, hence requiring courage. At a personal level, rather than approaching with fear this asana evokes my conviction to mantain the ever-curious, ever-seeking wisdom that arises from yoga.

Slow movements and deep breathing increase blood flow and warm up muscles, while holding a pose can build strength. Balance on one foot, while holding the other foot to your calf or above the knee (but never on the knee) at a right angle.

    Welcome to a Life of wellness. Through this blog I share my thoughts, ideas and experiences with the intention of sharing so we can create a world of peace and in turn, create a network of wisdom.  For me yoga in more than something practiced on a mat, and through my daily practice I am committed to further evolve my understanding and share my learnings along with other things I find helpful (or interesting) in appreciation for this beautiful gift we call Life.  Smart nutrition, Yoga and wellness. These factors, amongst others are the topics I invite you to be a part of. Please share your thoughts and together lets be the change we want to see in the world. Namaste.
