Prasarita Padottanasana

Wide-Legged Standing Forward Bend



To be the one who keep breathing in the unknown is a brave and miraculous thing. Your ability to keep going each day is a sign of courage all on its own.



Prasarita Padottanasana (pra-sA-ri-tuh pA-dO-thAnA-suh-nuh) is an excellent example for inverted asanas. The inversion of the torso and contact of the head’s crown to earth helps relieving back shoulders and neck on a physical level, the mind on the emotional and physical one. Hence, it is a remedy for headaches, but also to pause for a while the rumination and overthinking that do not let us enjoy our present.

> Remember goal here not the head touching the mat but to lengthening the spine and feel the gentle stretch in the back, glutes, hams & calves.
> Always respect your body and where you are at in this current moment. With practice and consistency you will get where you need to be due time.

>push buttocks toward the sky.
>engage core & tuck in belly.
>straight back & lengthen the spine.
>elbows bend 90 degrees.
>crown of the head reaches toward mat.
>toes & fingers point forward.

If you want different results in your life or your work, all you have to do is change your mind.   You are your own biggest critic of your own life.

Raise Your ViBes

Raise Your ViBes What is "vibration" Your ‘vibration’ is a way of describing your overall state of being. Everything in the universe is made up of energy vibrating at different frequencies. Even things that look solid are made up of vibrational energy fields at the quantum level. This includes you. Even if you have no conceptual understanding of what vibrations are, you have certainly felt them. A vibration is a state of being, the atmosphere, or the energetic quality of a person, place, thought, or thing. Much of reading “vibes” is intuitive—you can tell a person’s energy when they walk into a room, for example. While some people draw you closer, others make you want to keep your distance. Everything in the universe is made up of molecules vibrating at different speeds. This includes trees, bodies, rocks, animals, thoughts, and emotions. Human vibrations are composed of everything from physical matter to the way you communicate the thoughts you think. In simple ter...
