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.

or unsupported pose

As the name suggests this sarvangasana is unsupported and the body stands on the shoulders literally. But what the name doesn't suggest is the engagement of the core, psoas, and glutes, and leg muscles in this asana.

The sense of balance and energies felt when held for a couple of mins is immense in this asana. Can definitely be done with support of a wall also.

Veerbhadrasana of warrior 1 pose with a chair and ropes. Rope helps in taking the torso back while the chair helps in maintaining the famous rather infamous 'square'.

Preparing for or with props and head variation.
-
-
In the words of B.K.S Iyengar 'get over yourself' asana. He said:

"The head, which is the seat of the 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"
-
-
Recognise your own shortcomings and the power to overcome them.
-
-
This asana is very good for the spine, lungs, abdominal cavity, shoulders, heart. It also relieves anxiety and stress and improves memory and focus.

with chair

"For a yogi, backbends are meant to invert the mind, to observe and to feel—first the back, then the consciousness and the very seer. Through the practice of backbends, by using the senses of perception to look back, and drawing the mind to the back portion of the body, one day meditation comes naturally."

This is one of the many psychological benefits of backbends not to mention the physiological benefits.

All my teachers have repeatedly emphasised on regular self practice. I have been told to learn/ practice the art of tweaking the asana to suit the needs of the body to reap maximum benefit. This asana ( with micro bent knees) is what I needed the most today for:
- a gentle massage for the abdomen
- forward bends for the chest injury recovery
- release wind from stomach
-release stiffness in the neck
-quieten the agitated mind
-
-
"The path of yoga is like the sharp edge of a razor, narrow and difficult to tread, and there are few who find it. The Yogi knows that the paths of ruin or salvation lie within himself." BKS Iyengar
