Breath within the breath? The pranic energy between the poses?
One of the goals of yoga is to gather and harvest the life energy and create an unobstructed and
balanced flow of of pranic energy through the body.
In yoga class I try to encourage the practitioners to experience this flow of energy.
One way to do this is hands on adjustments. A little change of hand position (Hand facing forward) in
Trikonasana enables the yogi to rotate the shoulder and get more lift in the pose. Is an example of a
simple but effective way to let the praic energy flow. There are adjustments with most poses, I won’t go through them here.
The yoga group that meets with me Tuesdays and Friday mornings are especially fond of the
adjustments in savasana pose.
I receive comments on how good the adjustments feel and the openness after an adjustment. One class
member said “ you have healing hands. That feels so much better.”
I think that trying to find the place where the pose is balanced and you feel the energy throughout your
Body.This feeling is one of the main reasons why people practice yoga. To find the joy or the (laghima )a
sanskirt word that means to levitate. To do a asana with grace and ease in this instance.
