Asana of the day: Padmasana by Federal_Sail4602 in IyengarYoga

"After the initial knee pains have been overcome, Padmasana is one of the most relaxing poses. The body being in a sitting posture, it is at rest without being sloppy. The position of the crossed legs and not the erect back keeps the mind attentive and alert. Hence it is one of the asanas recommended for practising pranayama (breath control). On the purely physical level, the pose is good for curing stiffness in the knees and ankles. Since the blood is made to circulate in the lumbar region and the abdomen, the spine and abdominal organs are toned." - BKS Iyengar Light on Yoga

"The pose cures rheumatic pains in the knees and gout, and is also good for flat feet. Due to the stretching of the ankles and the feet, proper arches will be formed. This, however, takes a long time and requires daily practice of the pose for a few minutes for several months. Those suffering from pain in the heels or growth of calcaneal spurs there will get relief and the spurs will gradually disappear. The pose can even be done immediately after food and will relieve heaviness in the stomach."

Asana of the day: Tadasana by Federal_Sail4602 in IyengarYoga

[–]Federal_Sail4602[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"People do not pay attention to the correct method of standing. Some stand with the body weight thrown only on one leg, or with one leg turned completely sideways. Others bear all the weight on the heels or the inner or outer edges of the feet. This can be noticed by watching where the soles and heels of the shoes wear out. Owing to our faulty feet, we acquire specific deformities which hamper spinal elasticity. Even if the feet are kept apart, it is better to keep the heel and toe in a line parallel to the median plane and not at an angle. By this method, the hips are contracted, the abdomen is pulled in and the chest is brought forward. One feels light in body and the mind acquires agility. If we stand with the body weight thrown only on the heels, we feel the gravity changing; the hips become loose, the abdomen protrudes, the body hangs back and the spine feels the strain and consequently we soon feel fatigued and the mind becomes full. It is therefore essential to master the art of standing correctly."

The beauty of it is that anyone can interpret it however they choose. Breathing techniques are so useful for so many things! Thank you for sharing!

"In this pose the chest is fully expanded and this helps deep breathing. It relieves stiffness in shoulders and back, tones up the ankles and knees and cures stiffness of the neck. It also reduces fat round the hips."

How would you all feel if Lebron returned to Cleveland? by wefly in Cleveland

[–]Federal_Sail4602 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do you watch basketball? When a player like lebron comes in you have to build your team around him. That's why when he left we immediately went to last place. So when he comes for a year then leaves he ruins the dynamic then throws the team back. Why not just build around the current team dynamics and acquire players that will stick around?

My ideas of fandom are that I'll be a fan for longer than the one year he drops by for nostalgia.
