Lord of the Dance Pose

Lord of the Dance Pose

The alchemy of yoga practice takes place right on the mat. Every chemical reaction requires some pushing and pulling, some evaporation and sweating, some elements will just naturally connect and flow gracefully, some parts are strenuous and involve a certain degree of mindfulness and special precautions. Asana - the breath, the pose, the sight, the bandha. One cannot pretend yoga, our true colors come to the surface in practice. Impatience, a drive to show off, sadness, our urgent need to be appreciated and seen. Working some formulas, aligning the body, squaring the hips Mistakes along the way. Lower back pain, the knee, the neck... Miracles Lightness and joy in the end of the session. Transitions Stiffness into flexibility Inertia into Enthusiasm Loneliness into Gratitude http://jogaserca.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-alchemy-of-yoga-practice.html
