This antiforce (= reaction), born from gravity, has its own destiny: the deeper the compression, the greater will be the burst of energy in the opposite direction

"If you can achieve one pose, that is enough. It may sound easy, but in how many poses are we really comfortable and steady? Before we can relax the mind and bring more balance into our lives we need to work on the physical body by using yoga practices such as posture work and breath control.”

-The Yoga Sutras of Pantajali
(Book two, Chapter 46)

Asana: A yoga posture that brings comfort and steadiness

kooky poseHatha Yoga: Ha means "sun" and tha means "moon." So hatha yoga is the union of pairs of opposites. In yoga this means in each physical pose, and in the breath itself, opposing energies combine, forces of expansion and contraction, combine.

In yoga we activate these principles as we seek to bring balance into our lives and bodies.

If you are curious about yoga and its benefits, I encourage you to explore the Tibetan rites as an introduction to some central yoga dynamics. Here is a link to a worksheet that includes helpful modifications.

 

History

The physical practice of yoga was originally developed to prepare the body, and especially the nervous system, for stillness in meditation. The ancient sages understood that a calm mind requires discipline and strength. They developed asana as one limb on an eight-limb path called ashtanga.
