Posture of the week

There are many thoughts processing in our head every second and every minute of the day. We are constantly standing on our feet. Have you ever thought of the benefits of doing inversion or headstand in your yoga class? One major benefit is to improve pituitary gland function, which is close to the sixth or seventh Chakra depending on your master and the school. This is the chakra of pure consciousness (Ajna Chakra).

Yoga is full of different posture, and it also a journey to complete all the posture. One must take baby step in order to enjoy the subtle benefit. Even Laughing and falling off from a posture sometimes is very humbling, you have to look within. One pose can offer many variations, starting from crow posture to something as simple as standing on your head. How cool is that? Don't forget to breathe and have fun with doing this posture.



I welcome you this week to take simple steps to trust yourself to get into Tripod Headstand (Sanskrit Name: Salamba Sirshasana ) using the wall for support and hold this posture for a while.
