Today is Yoga Video #15 of our Yoga Asana Series for building or maintaining an at-home Yoga practice. We are looking at the very first standing balance posture in the Ashtanga Yoga Standing Sequence! Last week we explored the idea of Tensegrity (https://youtu.be/XDIVucwoSI4), or oppositions of forces, in your yoga practice. Although we used Prasārita Pādottānāsana A-D or Wide-Legged Forward Stretch Postures to examine this concept, I hope you will bring this functional tool into todays posture too! Standing Hand to Big Toe Posture, or Utthita Hasta Padāṅguṣṭhāsana, is a challenging yet rewarding posture that asks for your full focus as you work to balance on one leg and move your standing leg around in space. Today we look at two modifications and the full expression of this balance posture so you can begin to play with adding this posture into your daily practice. Be patient with yourself. Balance is hard for everyone. Start with the modifications and work your way up to the full expression over time. Of such an approach is wholeness achieved! I recommend you watch all the way through the first time so you can fully absorb the lecture portion. Keep up the great work, you are doing such a great job of taking this time for your self-care. Wholeness is within reach! Save this video so you can repeat the session consistently and watch your body and mind transform.
