Asana (yoga postures)... it’s about Self-Study

28/6/2025

 
🧘‍♀️ Asana (yoga postures) isn't just about stretching and strengthening or mastering Poses — It’s about Self-Study

In Iyengar Yoga, the poses (asanas) are more than shapes — they’re a way to observe, feel, and understand your body and mind.
We don’t just do the pose,
We observe ourselves in the pose and the effects of the pose on us. 
This is yoga as self-awareness.
You might start by simply learning where your hips are. Over time, you feel deeper effects — in your breath, your muscles, your energy, even your mood.

And we practice with kindness:
 • No pushing.
 • No comparing.
 • No judging.

Yoga grows when we’re present, curious, and honest with ourselves.
It’s not about doing more.
It’s about experiencing things on a deeper level.
