🌿 “Why do you need so many poses?! It's all about the fact that our body is made up of thousands of muscles, hundreds of joints and trillions and trillions of cells. Moreover, the maximum number of cells is held in the brain! Imagine now how important the upturned position yogis of ancient times considered asanas. Although they didn't go into detailed explanations, they could have thought of improving blood circulation to those areas where millions and millions of cells are located, about an organ as important as the brain!! Practicing inverted asanas and not getting any microblood outbursts, but on the contrary, getting peace in all parts of the brain!! »🌟
🌿 "Asanas are postures in which you adjust and correct the positions of the body and the state of mind in order to stay in such balance that the mind’s efforts and oppositions, efforts and reactions to them help find the right and correct position by adjusting it to maintain mental attention and awareness." and at the same time feel the touch of life force in every particle of cells!! » 🌟
Excerpts from the book of BKS Iyengar "Practice of Yoga and Ayurveda!! 🙏❤️

Practicing Vrschikasana ( the scorpio pose)
The subjugation of ego.
“The head, which is the seat of knowledge and power is also the seat of pride, anger, hatred, jealousy, intolerance and malice. These emotions are more deadly than the poison, which the scorpion carries in its sting. The yogi, by stamping on his head with his feet, attempts to eradicate these self-destroying emotions and passions. The subjugation of ego leads to harmony and happiness.”
(B.K.S. Iyengar)
