Path-Of-The-Heart YOGA
ASANAS



Periodically different asanas will be added to this area. Asanas are ancient practices and are not the creation or property of this teacher. I give my thanks and acknowledgement to those who have gone before and hope to add to their work through mine.

A few thoughts about asanas are important to keep in mind. This is not about accomplishment. Since we are all different in our bodies, minds and spirits, so too will we be different in an asana (yoga position). One will get just as much from the practice as the others even though they would appear to be doing the asana differently, if we were to look. Try not to! Yoga is about looking inward, focusing the mind and relaxing into the asana. Part of the practice is to overcome the desire to "do it right" or to emulate another person who may have
exceptional flexibility. Work on this.

Our bodies are great teachers. Listen to what yours is telling you. Go easy. Go slowly.
Pain should never be a part of Yoga. If you experience any pain stop what you are doing immediately. Your teacher (the human one) will be able to help you with the asana so that it is pain free.
