Yoga Session 2

It was much happening session today compared to yesterday. To summarize we have done 3 asanas. Due to time constraints, Soma said she have designed a specific program for the corporate people suitable to their lifestyle. I think, this programme can be followed by everyone as the worst lifestyle is that of an IT person ( personal thoughts).

Anyways here is a peek into the session today. A small chat was held and Soma explained what Yoga is ? To many, it is a practice of difficult postures (asanas) or meditation (dhyana) or renunciation (vairagya) and thing to practice when one retires. But there is much more to this. Yoga means knowing your body, feeling it, preaparing it, nourishing it. In Yoga you take a particular posture (asanas) and you feel the body. You should feel the stress, stretch for a particular part of the body. It’s like close your eyes when you are in one of the asanas and just concentrate on your muscles that are working / stretching, feel it, feel the movement of the muscles and what they are asking or telling you to do. Same is the case when you release your posture. One should feel how the muscles relax, what muscles relax, which part do you feel the pressure has been releases. And mainly how you feel after the postures.

We followed with the warm up exercise, I mentioned in yesterdays post, which followed with 3 asanas in standing position.

1) Vrikshasana
2) Chakrasan.

3) Trikonasan.

Some school tips Soma told were,

1) Sleep early wake up early.
2) Drink sufficient amount of water.
