Samba setubandha sarvangasana, o “il dono di Dio”.
“L’azione di piegare indietro comprime gli organi della parte posteriore del corpo, in particolare i reni e i pancreas, migliorando la circolazione di tali organi. Le costole si espandono e i muscoli del torace diventano liberi. Il diaframma si allarga favorendo le inspirazioni più profonde”. ( dal capitolo 25 di “Arogya yoga”).
Quale variante del supporto preferite?
1,2,3 o 4?
Ho sentito incredibile rilassamento degli occhi e e il viso mettendo la coperta leggermente arrotolata sotto la base del cranio nella variante 3.

Lāghava is a noun derived from an adjective laghu which means light, easy, agile, facile.
There a famous shloka in Hatha Yoga Pradipika :

haṭhasya prathama-aṅgatvād-āsanaṁ pūrvam-ucyate |
kuryāt-tad-āsanaṃ sthairyam-ārogyaṃ ca-aṅga-lāghavam ||

Āsana, being the initial limb of Haṭha, is spoken of first.
Āsana brings about steadiness, improved health and lightness of limbs.

Sometimes classical asana feels other then facile and easy - it becomes a struggle.
There we can utilize the help of a chair or other prop to make it accessible and be able to feel that lightness of the body or the limbs Svatmarama is talking about in his text.

The adaptations of some twists
1)Bharadvajasana 1
2) Parsvaupavistakonasana
3)Bharadvajasana 2
4) Marichyasana 3

Ālambana means support.
One of the primal motion in yoga is give a support:
- To relax where there is tension
- To feel at ease with an unfamiliar movement, posture or breathing scheme.
- To be able to concentrate and to focus
- To creat confidence in our body and mind which we need so much now not to get scattered with all the global changes our world is going through.

We can use the support in the form of props for asanas.
We can use mantras, counting or focusing on different parts of body as a support for pranayama
We can use different concentration techniques as a support for meditation.

“Polly was all too aware that much of her time on holiday would be spent doing the laundry and the cooking and the child-care and all the other chores that back in London would be shared with her cleaning lady. A holiday with Theo and the children represented two weeks of domestic and maternal drudgery”.
I am so happy to be back from “holidays”!
See you in Florence!!!

What is the progress in yoga?
I think it cannot be defined by the difficulty of the poses nor by the time we are able to sit still in meditation.

We often hear from students: see my pose has improved; I do it better now; I feel more confident.
Physical stability, ease, confidence, effortlessness, calmness- side effects of yoga practice - for me are the important indicators of the practice going in the right direction. Patanjali gives a list of the companions of the obstacles ( which separate us from the goal of yoga - samadhi): Pain, bad thoughts, shaking of the body and unrhythmic breathing are the accompanying symptoms of mental distraction (duḥkha-daurmanasya-aṅgamejayatva-śvāsapraśvāsāḥ vikṣepa sahabhuvaḥ 1.31). Use them like the road signs: slow down, do a roundabout breathing naturally, find another road if this one is painful. Being able to practice without inviting these companions - seems a great achievement to me.
First I deal with distractions: sickness, dullness, laziness, doubts etc. And then observe that the friends of the distraction don’t sneak into the asana and pranayama practice. This is how I progress in yoga.
What about you?

Guru mean “heavy”. Heavy of wisdom.
Practice with a teacher.
The presence of your teacher does miracles.

Seminario all’Elba.
Lo yoga come strumento per imparare i movimenti dei nostri sensi.
A occhi chiusi abbiamo esplorato gli asana e la stabilità.
A bocca silenziosa abbiamo sentito i suoni, gli odori e il suolo sotto i piedi.
A cuori aperti abbiamo fatto entrare il mare dentro.
E con questo mare ritorniamo a casa. Grazie Bianca, , .dina.1

“Ho deciso di stare dalla parte dell’amore. L’odio è un peso troppo grande da sopportare”.
Buona Pasqua a tutti!

Here I am with my two teacher: the first one is teaching me shanti mantras and the second ( sleeping) one teaches me shanti mind: whenever you want to separate, dissociate- embrace.
