Back to Yoga 1, Basic Standing Poses ahead of Leo Full Moon

2/6/2020

0 Comments

 
This upcoming Full Moon in Leo has been one of the more intense moon cycles for some time. I felt the affects creeping in a few nights ago when I couldn't sleep. Insomnia is a fairly common side-effect of full moons, but this has been beyond that. I felt like I was having growing pains all over again. My body was so fidgety; I could not get comfortable. Yoga helps mitigate the affects of some forces that are just outside of our control.

Some of the most basic standing poses in yoga can help with grounding when physically we are feeling a little weak and unbalanced. They are perfect for beginners. We cover a few  in our first Back to Yoga series where we take just one pose - mountain - and break it down on a physical level and weave it in a short basic sequence incorporating heart arches and uttanasana or forward fold.

The standing asanas are both preparatory poses for sequences and wonderful ways as stand-alone exercises. Ten minutes here, ten minutes there!

Some standing poses are more advanced than others. There are also soul and spiritual aspects to each yoga asana.

Here are poses done on the physical, with the beginner in mind and include mountain pose, heart back bend, and uttanasana or long forward fold.

Thanks too to Heinz Grill, who continues to teach New Yoga Will in Italy. I had the honor of attending many of his initiatory trainings and workshops, and attempt to translate his work through my own lens and experience.
