The mind is mobile by nature and not restless. It is our external desires that lead to restlessness. So change the direction of desire to move the mind in the right direction.

Why do we blankets / elevated surface for Sarvangasana in Iyengar yoga?

The normal range of motion for the neck is only 45 degrees. If you were to do Shoulder Stand without blankets, it would require the neck to bend 90 degrees, double what it can normally do. This would put a lot of pressure on the cervical vertebrae and the thoracic to get those extra degrees of flexion. This is not good for the discs in the neck. We use blankets in Shoulder Stand to make up the difference for the degree of available neck flexion.That way the neck is supported in its normal range of motion.

Practicing by the beach is altogether a different ballgame, especially for those of us who have no access to ‘real’ natural surroundings. It offers a calming, natural environment that enhances mindfulness and provides a deep, sensory-rich practice using the sounds of waves and ocean breezes.

It’s an immersive experience!!!

What’s your favourite place to practice???
