Spotted my mom doing Moon Salutation on the full moon day( Hanuman Jayanti) to our beach trip to last weekend.

In the picture captured is a Low Crescent Lunge — Anjaneyasana 🌙

Benefits :

🌙Stretches, Strengthens, Lengthens: It stretchers both the anterior and posterior parts of the body from the toes to the fingertips. This asymmetrical balancing pose stretches the arms, armpits, shoulders, neck, intercostal muscles, abdomen, psoas muscles, quadriceps, shin muscles, and pelvic muscles. It lengthens the spine by stretching it in a beautiful crescent shape.
🌙 Enhances Flexibility and Range of Motion: This back-bending pose creates spinal flexibility which keeps the natural space between the vertebrae intact.
🌙 Awareness and Focus (Concentration)/Alignment and Posture: In this pose, the practitioner has to focus on the alignment of the legs and the hips. The lower body supports the upper backbend in this pose.
🌙Energizing, De-stressing, Relaxing: All back bending and chest opening exercises are energizing. The muscular tensions of the upper, mid, and lower back are released creating an energy flow. The hip opening also helps in releasing pelvic stiffness which reduces stress accumulated in the lower back and hips.

“Dhyana” Meditation

I am blessed to be born in the family of yogis. My paternal and maternal side family passed the most precious knowledge of Vedic Sanatan Dharma to me. I was curious about what do people do by sitting with closed eyes for a longer period of time during my childhood days. I was overjoyed when my maternal granddad, who is certified Transcendental Meditation Teacher taught me my “WOW” (word of wisdom) at the age of 4. Since than I practice “Dhyana” (meditation) everyday. Few years ago I learn and it gave much deep understanding of Dhyan with side effects of wisdom, inner strength and happiness.

I think of attempting to meditate as something like learning how to swim. A beginner might be inclined to use too much effort and thrash around in the water. But with proper instruction, you learn to relax in the water, take smooth strokes, and glide without effort. With proper instruction, meditation is just as effortless.

Let’s go into this a bit. Dharana is usually translated as concentration or steadiness. It is taking an object of meditation, such as a mantra, and focusing on it, usually by mentally repeating it over and over. It’s like focusing on individual drops of water, because the object of meditation is discrete. Dharana is a surface state of mind, and it is unlikely that a person could slip into samadhi from the state of dharana.
Dhyana is much different. It involves a lack of focus, a lack of effort, a lack of concentration. In dhyana the object of meditation is non-discrete. Dhyana is a continuous flow, like oil on glass. I feel “Dhyan is so easy and silent and simple — my mind was in a perfect state of peace without any effort on my part.”
Of course, all aspects of the limbs of yoga are fascinating—the five yamas, the five niyamas, asana, pranayama, pratyahara, dharana, dhyana, and samadhi. None are difficult to understand and practice, and the rewards are significant. Pretty much everything a person can think of can be achieved by the practice of yoga.

🦋Baddha Konasana (Butterfly Pose) 🦋is a wonderful grounding position that leads to the creation of a serene place for delving into a meditation state that involves deep, relaxed breaths coordinated with the leg movements.

Start the day on a fabulous note with Baddha Konasana. Give a nice stretch to the spine after a long night sleep. Here are the steps that practitioners can follow for performing the pose:

1. Start the pose by sitting on the floor. Legs, back straight, and hands on the ground.

2. With an exhalation, bend the knees and bring the heels close to the pelvic region.

3. Drop the knees out to the floor and touch the soles of the feet together.

4. Clasp the hands around the ankles, shins, or toes.

5. Stay in this pose for around 3-5 minutes.

Contradictions:

Sciatica can be aggravated in this pose.

Be kind to your knees during the performance of this pose.

Practice the butterfly pose as a resting posture, include it in your favorite yoga sequence, or begin the practice with it as a grounding pose — whichever way you use, it works miraculously! Here are the health benefits of Butterfly pose:

🦋 Stimulates abdominal organs, ovaries and prostate gland, bladder, and kidneys
Stimulates the heart and improves general circulation.
🦋 Stretches the inner thighs, groins, and knees.
🦋 Helps relieve mild depression, anxiety, and fatigue.
🦋Helps to get rid off headaches.
🦋 Soothes sciatica.
🦋 Best for moms to be.
🦋 Therapeutic for flat feet, high blood pressure, infertility, and asthma.
🦋Traditional texts say that Baddha Konasana destroys disease and gets rid of fatigue.

🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
So get on the mat and practice it everyday to experience the above benefits.

Namaste and welcome back to Humble Me Yoga
Today we will be doing the warrior pose trio. Warrior pose is also called Virabhadrasana वीरभद्रासन in Sanskrit. We are the warriors fighting against the coronavirus.

The warrior poses are great for overall well being: Warrior poses are an awesome way to tone the upper and lower body. The poses strengthen the weaker muscles, builds endurance, and provides vital energy. This is all because these poses open up your chest to allow better airflow to the lungs, so during these poses, remember to keep breathing.

The balance aspect of this pose on the physical level is also mirrored for us in our emotions. Warrior Pose Trio (वीरभद्रासन) can teach us to stay balanced in our emotions, to stay present with what we are feeling without having to react to each and every little thing that comes into our emotional experience.

I hope this look at the three Warrior poses will help you appreciate their innate power and ability to develop your being. Which one is your favorite? Which one is your least favorite? I would love to hear from you!

Enjoy these asanas for courage, endurance, and intrepidness. Remember to smile, breath in and breath out throughout 😊😤 😊

Namaste 🙏🏽

Happy International Yoga Day🧘🏻‍♂️ and Happy Father’s Day 👨🏻.
My family and I celebrated rejuvenating and loving Yoga/Father’s Day Morning.
🧘🏻‍♂️
Maharishi Patanjali, who is called “Father of the Yoga” mentioned in the very first Yoga Sutra: अथः योगानुशासनम् ॥१॥ - Atha yoganushasanam || 1 ||

Now, (is) the study and practice of yoga.

The Power of Now is so simple, Yet powerful.

You can only begin your practice of yoga at the point where you are right now. If your mind is uneasy and you feel inwardly out of balance, then that’s where yoga begins.

So don’t wait, practice everyday,
Wishing you all “Happy International Yoga Day “ To all.
