Look to this Day !

Lookatthisday

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

Let us be full…

July 18, 2013

“When the asana is correct there is a lightness, a freedom.
Freedom comes when every part of the body is active.
Let us be free in whatever posture we are doing.
Let us be full in whatever we do”.

Asanas for Manipura Chakra

June 11, 2013

asanas for Manipura

The 7 Chakras are the spiritual energy centres within the body.
Manipura is the solar plexus chakra,
related to the colour yellow.
It represents our ability to be confident and in-control of our lives.

When this chakra is balanced,
we feel at peace, energetic and fearless.

Due to the location of the Solar Plexus chakra,
the most beneficial yoga poses are those
that massage the Pancreas, stimulate the kidneys, and work the abdomen.

Here are some great asanas to balance the Manipura chakra
and develop a positive self-value:

Surya Namaskar
Adho Mukha Svanasana
Virabhadrasana 2
Parivrtta Trikonasana
Parivrtta Utkatasana
Navasana
Urdhva Prasarita Padasana
Dhanurasana
Jathara Parivritti
Ardha Matsyendrasana
Parivrtta Janu Sirsasana
Savasana
