Look to this day!
For it is life, the very life of life.
In its brief course
lie all the verities and realities of your existence:
The Bliss of growth
The glory of action
The splendor of beauty
For yesterday is but a dream
And tomorrow only a vision
But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness
And every tomorrow a vision of hope.
Look well, therefore to this day!
Such is the salutation to the dawn.
Kalidasa, Indian Poet

True yoga is not about the shape of your body,
but the shape of your life.
Yoga is not to be performed; yoga is to be lived.
Yoga doesn’t care about what you have been;
yoga cares about the person you are becoming.
Yoga is designed for a vast and profound purpose,
and for it to be truly called yoga, its essence must be embodied.

The 7 Chakras are the spiritual energy centres within the body.
Svadisthana is the sacral chakra, related to the colour orange
and located at the tailbone.
It represents our ability to accept others
and to be open to new experiences.
When this chakra is balanced
we have a good capacity for creativity and partnerships with others.
When we are imbalanced in this chakra
we might experience a loss of creativity
and a feeling of dullness.
Here are some great asanas to balance the Svadisthana chakra
and develop the ability to flow with emotions freely.
