creating s p a c e In this variation of Ardha Uttanasana we take a chair on the root of the upper thighs to keep the legs moving towards the wall while we... extend the torso forward. This action creates a tremendous amount of space in the front body (for the organs) and in the back body (for the spine). Incredible opening can be experienced...and you may grow a couple of inches! :) Check out the full vid https://youtu.be/fyLRA9AhYLs Happy Practicing!

These are some of the effects of Uttanasana mentioned by B.K.S. Iyengar in Light on Yoga: "The heart beats are slowed down and the spinal nerves rejuvenated. An...y depression felt in the mind is removed if one holds the pose two minutes or more. The posture is a boon to people who get excited quickly, as it soothes the brain cells. After finishing the asana, one feels calm and cool, the eyes start to glow and the mind feels at peace." This variation of Uttanasana is from Eyal Shifroni's book, Props for Yoga. Join Eyal for a 4-day workshop in January 2021, early bird pricing is on until December 22.
