🌴Hasu is back from PNG and ready to get back on her feet. We are in standing poses this week.

Here’s a collection of images from her time in PNG. From teaching Yoga to long dingy rides up the river. Check out a couple of her initiatives supporting her cousin sisters making Ve’a (Bilum bags) and amazing kites (mats). Keep an eye out for a space on Sydenham road that will showcase this work 🧡

There are a couple of projects that she has set up over the last couple of years to support and develop with her family long term economic development.

Why backbends?
B.K.S. Iyengar: In the asana systems, the most advanced postures are the backbends. The human structure is such that the idea does not strike anyone that the spinal vertebrae can be moved backward as well as forward and sideways, without causing injury. In the field of yoga, backbends are not taught at the early stages in the practice of this art, but only when the body is trained and when it is tuned and toned to such an extent that it can accept these poses. Backbends are to be felt more than expressed. The other postures can be expressed and then felt. But in backbends, like meditations, each person has to feel. And that’s why I thought that after fifty years of teaching, at least some of my students should get the background of the right means to perform the backbends. Backbends are not poses meant for exhibitionism. Backbends are meant to understand the back parts of our bodies. The front body can be seen with the eyes. The back body cannot be seen; it can only be felt. That’s why I say these are the most advanced postures, where the mind begins to look at the back, first on the peripheral level, then inwards, towards the core.

Interview with BKS Iyengar on Backbends-questions were asked during the teachers’ backbend intensive Mr. Iyengar taught in November-December, 1991
