Restorative set up

A quote from Light on Life on learning wisdom through adversity - it's common to hear yogis say that their practice remained available or accessible through injuries or other life changing events. This comes from informed or intelligent actions in the practice.

I find that self-observation is of great importance, so we can be conscious of every action we apply in the practice. By 'learning the subtlety of the craft'.

Adho (downward) Mukha (facing) Svanasana (dog)

❔How many variations have you practiced❔

🐾 Many but there are more! Heel support, hands into wall, feet on height, through the ropes, therapeutic etc.

❔What do you learn from each variation❔

🐾 Different set ups gives and teaches different sensations. Experiment to feel what the pose teaches.

❔Where do you feel challenged❔

🐾 Everywhere... to generate actions and drive through the full body while maintaining breath flow in the pose is a challenge. So always practice at your own pace.

❔Is it an active or restorative pose❔

🐾 It really can be both depending on the set up and how long we stay in the pose.

"Perfection in an asana is achieved when the effort to perform it becomes effortless and the infinite being within is reached." B.K.S. Iyengar

The theme from this morning's LED practice was about "effortless effort". Can we practice by balancing between doing and not doing? What gets in the way?

In practice we spend more time in the unfinished pose, we work at the wall or use props to teach and inform. This provides room and stability for exploration, so we can first learn and experience the "effortful". Over time, this is then balanced with the feeling of "effortless". The journey can be a long one between the both. Where am I at? Where are you at?
