Parivritta Trikonasana Asana or Revolved One Legged Headstand.
-
-
Twisting action in an inverted body has immense benefits for the abdominal region. Due to the asymmetrical nature of the asana balance becomes an important aspect managed through breath and concentration or one pointed focus (in lay-man's term )
-
-
For beginners, what helps in balancing here is understanding weight distribution managed through 'drishti' 'vision' . Where you look also affects where and how the weight is distributed and with practice you can break that connection and manage this with just awareness.

"Thought is a superstition. Reason is an irrational idea. The primitivechildish notion that we are able to think has been mankind's coolest error" Ayan Rand

Off late there has been a discovery in my practice initiated by my teachers and polished by my practice - that the less I think of 'me doing the asana/ the practice', the better aligned my body is in any asana- better aligned my asana is lesser my struggle is to hold the asana- lesser struggle more I am at ease in the asana- more I am at ease quieter my mind. I don't think I can explain this through words only if you practice- can you experience this beautiful phenomenon. We as practitioners talk about 'sthira sukham asanam' but it's absolutely another thing to experience it.

No resolutions, no extra words of motivation, no pressure to change, my practice reminds me to keep steady and consistent. A steady practice sometimes with achievements sometimes with none but with a lot of observation. Hope we all keep practicing this year and show up on the mat. A new year dedicated to us.

Come join me if you wish to start your practice!

Most people attend yoga classes to move, stretch, or sweat — but at Yog Shunyata, we go beyond that.
Our focus is on building a strong foundation — learning the why behind every asana, understanding the body’s alignment, and discovering how the mind and body influence each other. You’ll begin to see how awareness in the body can quiet the mind, and how balance on the mat can mirror balance in life.

These sessions help you:
✨ Build a solid foundation in yoga
✨ Understand and correct your alignment
✨ Gain confidence to practice safely — even without a teacher
✨ Prevent injuries and manage long-term aches and pains

This is yoga for those who seek depth, not just sweat.
Join us to rediscover the discipline and quiet beauty of an authentic practice.

New batches starting soon.

Two major movements are extension of the hamstring of the lifted leg and internal rotation on the thigh of the bent leg.

1) picture one is where the lifted leg is able to straighten out when I held at the ankle
2) picture two is where the lifted leg struggled to straighten - this is when I was holding at the foot.

Have you figured out why this could be? The body is an interesting subject. Isn't it?

BKS Iyengar talks about how these poses help in maintaining the health of the abdominal organs which we "abuse by conforming to social etiquette".

( with two bricks at dorsal thoracic although you can see one)
Sometimes my own practice makes me sore and then I resort to longer stays and my breath to heal and recover. Chest opening practice was targeted to address the new found pain in the upper back. Started with strengthening and activating the pectoral muscles by modified chaturanga and other similar group asanas. Then moved to stretching the upper back with backbends. And then stayed in paryankasana with normal breathing. Ended with painfree shavasana with calibrated breath.
-
This asana is lengthening the anterior spine, expanding the chest, lengthening the side trunk, opening the underarms, lengthening the quads, and because of the neck alignment is also massaging the thyroid and parathyroid glands.

This pose mostly gets admired for its external complexity but what most miss is the invitation for deeper inner introspection.

While being a great hip opener, massaging abdominal organs, stretching and strengthening the leg muscles- the asana also is a mind's play demanding balance, humility, and surrender.

Misconception: "You need to be flexible to do this pose"

Truth: You need to prepare your body to enter the pose. Iyengar yoga teaches us to approach with intelligence, not ambition. With use of props and creativity most asanas are approachable by all.

, or , carries a rich history in yogic tradition as a seated asana that integrates the stability of the lower body with an opening of the upper body. As a variation of the foundational Padmasana, it is symbolic of grounding and blossoming.

Reflecting on the essence of the lotus posture, we can consider:
"Om Kamalasanaya Namah" 🪷
(Salutations to the Lotus Pose)

Practicing this asana can contribute to improved posture, increased flexibility in the hips and shoulders, and a calming effect on the nervous system. As with any asana, listen to your body and approach the bind with awareness and care.
