In “Urdhva Mukha Dhanurasana, the spine must rise like the morning sun — lifting, not collapsing“ Let the arch come from the thoracic spine, not just the lumbar. It’s not about bending more — it’s about aligning better. Always move with awareness and bend without collapsing that leads to a better arch.

From where she started to where she is now… this journey highlights the importance of building awareness, cultivating points of action, activation, and alignment in each pose. Asana practice is not about showing off; it’s about fostering proper energy flow throughout the body. The goal is simple yet profound: to maintain health and well-being through mindful posture training.

Great students honor their teachers not only by learning but by standing by them, cherishing their wisdom, and carrying their teachings with reverence through every stage of life.

Heartfelt thanks to these two incredible students for organizing a special poojawa at the Dalada Maligawa to seek blessings for their teacher.

Kurmasana. This is quite advanced and requires a considerable level of flexibility in the spine, hamstrings, and shoulders. It should be avoided or replaced by the milder Upavistha Konasana if you are suffering from lower back problems. When achieved, this pose helps release tension in your spine, increase blood circulation in your abdominal and pelvic area, improve flexibility in your hamstrings and hips. All the actions involved in this pose require a certain amount of focus and attention. This way your mind becomes more connected to what is happening in your body and gets distracted from anything that might be worrying you.

The lady in these pictures is 81 years old and has been practicing with us for a long period now. A lot of people ask us, can seniors practice yoga? Our answer would be Yes, BUT how you start practicing and the way you practice will be different. How? If you have been someone who has been@practicing for a long period then this is the outcome. Even at the age of 81 you will be practicing like a youngster. Dont wait until you reach a certain age to think about your health. Start from your young days and that practice will take you a long way healthily and keep you strong.

Intermediates don’t become intermediates overnight nor within a short span of a time. It takes a lot of knowledge/ a lot of hours of trying to understand the actions / a lot of absorption of knowledge through thorough practice sessions. An individual will not be “promoted” haphazardly or as a group to the intermediate level. The practice it self will gradually promote their body and mind to the next level. The understanding of each posture is very well portrayed in their Asanas. What is the use of knowing more than 100’s of asanas if you have not understood the action and how to apply it for the betterment of your self? seen here is one of our intermediate students who is perfectly showcasing her knowledge / understanding and experience through a well structured asana. Adho Mukha Svanasana. These individuals not only make us proud but knowing that they will go a long way in this journey of yoga give us immense happiness. 🙏

A practioner should see in each Asana the perfect freshness and firmness of body, the alert, steadiness of intelligence and the sweet, benevolence of the self.
