Favorite Asana

Everyone has their favorite posture. I have numerous favorite asana (posture) depending on the season, and time of day. I tend to incorporate Triangle posture known as (Trikonasana in Sanskrit) every day.
The corresponding chakra is the second chakra which is located close the genital and the reproductive organs.An imbalance in this charka causes several problem in the body such as pre-menstral sydrome, irregular period, testicular, uterine fibroids, pre-menstrual syndrome, irregular periods, ovarian cysts, irritable bowel syndrome, endometriosis, low back pain and prostate disease.

When done properly, the benefits are vast among other asanas. The benefits are as follows:
• Helps to strengthen legs, knees, ankles, joints, hips, groin muscles, hamstrings, calves, shoulders, chest and spine abdominal, oblique, and back.
• Stimulates function of all the abdominal organs.
• Relieves stress, sciatica, backache and neck pain
• Improves digestion and constipations.
• Helps with symptoms of menopause, and
• Therapeutically for anxiety, and infertility

One the same note, sometimes we have an asana (posture) that we struggle with. We have to continue to practice because we practice we perfect the posture to a point we close our eye and hold the posture for a longer time. Is it fear or we forgot to incorporate the breath that we will fall out of the posture? Teachers do fall out of posture. We are human and we are constantly practice as well and uniting our body, mind and spirit.

This inspiring quote by Marianne Williamson is from her book, A Return To Love: Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles, Harper Collins, 1992. From Chapter 7, Section 3 (Pg. 190-191).


“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
