Spring blooming - Part 2
Part 2 of the Spring blooming sequence continues the antigravitational work based on standing asanas with the help of a rolled mat on the back armpit chest. Besides, from the utthita alignment, that is from a straight spine position, each of the standing asana of this series is then performed moving to a purva pratana alignment. In fact, by increasing the coiling action with the help of the rolled mat, the dorsal and cervical spine are then brought into a complete extension creating the conditions for a nice opening in the sternum and heart region. Legs should remain very stable and this is the reason why some variations are also proposed at the wall or using the ropes to create even more stability.

This sequence is dedicated to laterality and going out of the ordinary schemes and proposes a body practice that reviews many asanas varying them to work in laterality. written by Chiara M.

The Prism of Yoga
“Let 'yoga' do what it can and must do, that is, give us the discriminatory and prismatic ability to reconceptualize our gaze, making us join what could appear separate, developing an inclusive and tolerant attitude in every context. And if #yoga is utopia, the utopia of a path of individual evolution to create a community based on justice and equity, I’m fine with that and, at least, let us be inspired!
