"El equilibrio no significa simplemente equilibrar el cuerpo. El equilibrio en el cuerpo es la base para el equilibrio en la vida. En cualquier posicion en la ...que uno se encuentre, o en cualquier condicion de la vida en que uno se encuentre, uno debe encontrar el equilibrio. El equilibrio es el estado del presente, el aqui y el ahora. Si equilibras en el presente, estas viviendo en la Eternidad ". B.K.S. Iyengar ~ Light on Life.

A little humour

Happy Solstice and Happy International Yoga Day everyone. Some of my flowers from spring. Peace and love. #ygk #yoga #solstice #love #peaceofmind #breathe @ Kingston, Ontario

I have had the pleasure of Marlene’s knowledge over the years too. This is Ardha Chandrasana (half moon pose) at the wall, a great pose for opening the hips/pelvis and you are supported by the wall, which helps to eliminate fear of falling. Namaste

Very interesting book by Lois Steinberg. Lots of techniques for working with healthy knees and not so healthy knees. #ygkyoga #ygk #yoga #iyengaryoga #covidreading #kneecare #takingcareofme @ Kingston, Ontario

"Inhale creates a gentle waterfall in the chest. Let the water fall into the lungs. Exhale creates a lake in the abdomen. Let that lake settle down. -Abhijata 5/8/2020 (Photo: South New Zealand)

"We can bring calmness and quietness to our minds and our emotions with the retention of breath after exhalation. I have said that exhalation empties the brain ...and pacifies the ego, bringing it to quiescent humility. When you empty the brain, you also empty the toxins of memory. With the exhalation and retention, you let go of resentment, anger, envy, and rancor. Exhalation is a sacred act of surrender, of self-abandoment." ~ Guruji BKS Iyengar

Happy Earth Day

This pose Supta Baddha Konasana is helpful in reducing stress. Sometimes we carry tension and stress without even knowing it, until we get ourselves into a restorative pose like this one. Use whatever you have around your place. You can use pillows to support your spine instead of a bolster. Do have a blanket for the back of your head. Don't have a yoga belt? no problem, use a bathrobe belt or a regular belt or a long scarf. Improvise! See how his outer thighs are supported, ...this helps to gently support the opening of the hips/groins. Notice how his arms are supported, fold a couple of towels and support the arms that way. Its not necessary to support the arms or legs, but I find they encourage a deeper relaxation. And who couldn't use that these days! An eye bag is helpful in allowing the brain to relax. If you can, stay for approx. 5 to 10 minutes. This pose is also helpful during menstruation. It helps in opening the chest. Consciously connect with your inhale and exhale. Namaste See more

Stay safe everyone and think twice. Namaste
