Esta es la imagen con la que concluyo este ciclo sobre "renacer". Esta postura se llama Anantasana, y representa a Ananta Sesha, la serpiente de mil cabezas sobre la que descansa Vishnu. Vishnu, que es el que a través de su sueño, expande los universos, mantiene su existencia... Y ahora quedémonos con la idea de que cada asana evoca un elemento de la existencia (un dios, un sabio, un objeto, una forma, una acción), de modo que la intención es que te identifiques con ello, con las formas y la mutabilidad. Así, ahora, soy Vishnu sobre Ananta, observo cómo cientos de existencias, de ciclos van y vienen. En cada día en que me despierto y me duermo, en cada respiración que entra y que sale. De modo que vuelvo a la idea con la que empecé este ciclo de imágenes: Renacer es una constante en nuestra vida. Y en cada renacimiento, tú estabas ahí. Cuando has tomado una respiración, has renacido; cuando te acostaste ayer y te levantaste hoy, has renacido; cuando has dejado marchar tu pasado, has renacido. En ti ya están Ananta Sesha Y Vishnu: tú puedes crear tu propio destino. #abstraccionesyoguicas #reflexionesdeyoga #laisladelyoga #anantasesha #anantasana #elsueñodevishnu #renacer #inspiracionesdeyoga #efectobrush (en San Fernando, Isla De Leon, Cádiz.) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxCgTrPl2UA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xev5b1x8ildy

Why hold the big toe in yoga poses?

Although we could not always provide them the interest they deserve, our big toes play a huge function in our asana technique! They aid us stabilize in standing poses, we maintain them engaged and also energetic in seated presents and in some positions they are even our Drishti. Why do we hold them? One possibility can be our meridians ...

Meridians

In traditional Chinese Medicine there are 12 Principal Meridians in the body which Qi (or Chi) flows through, a lot like Prana flows through our yogic Nadis (power paths).

There are 6 meridians which begin or finish in the hand and go through the arm. Three Yin: lung, heart and pericardium, and 3 Yang: large intestine, tiny intestinal tract and also three-way burner. In the reduced body there are another 6 meridians beginning or finishing in the foot and also going through the legs (and also past). Again these are 3 Yin: spleen, kidney and liver, and 3 Yang: stomach, bladder and gallbladder. The liver and spleen meridians both begin in the huge toe - much more on that later!

When a meridian (just like a Nadi) obtains blocked or impinged, qi can not move, torpidity occurs, and also the health of the body organ as well as the human is endangered. Just as detrimentally, qi can be moving too quickly through a meridian and this likewise causes the wellness of the body organ and human to suffer. Healing methods such as acupuncture and also acupressure unblock and/or control the flow of qi by tapping right into certain spots along the meridians (acupuncture or acupressure factors). Qigong (Chi Gung) is another healing technique for the regulation of qi, using breath, soft movement and meditation to maintain the circulation of qi at its most optimum.

The two meridians of note when it pertains to the huge toes are the liver and spleen meridians.

Liver Meridian

The course of the liver meridian: starts at the inside (side) side of the huge toe, operates on top of the foot, front of ankle, internal calf bone as well as upper leg to pubic location, right into the stomach, liver and also gallbladder. Ultimately, it connects with the lung meridian, the throat, the eyes, and also crown of the head. Indications of imbalance in the liver meridian include discomfort in reduced back and also abdominal location, psychological disruptions. Also, frequent/unreasonable anger and frustration.

Spleen Meridian

The path of the spleen meridian: beginnings at the outdoors (median) side of the big toe, within the foot, ankle and also shin. It runs simply in front of the liver meridian up the inner upper leg as well as the gets in abdominal tooth cavity, attaching to the spleen as well as tummy. One branch then increases breast to throat to tongue, while the other branch connects to the heart meridian in the heart. Indications of Inequality in the spleen meridian are tummy problems, bloating, as well as windiness. Likewise, frequent/ unreasonable fear and anxiety.

The big-toe hold and yoga exercise poses

The liver and spleen meridians both begin in the huge toe. When we wrap our thumb and also initial 2 fingers around our huge toe in postures, we yogis likewise have the ability to boost and stabilize our spleen and liver meridians. These positions include Supta Padangusthasana (Supine Big Toe Hold), Utthita Hasta Padangusthasana (Extended Standing Hand-to-Big-Toe Hold) and also Prasarita Padottanasana D (Wide-legged Forward Bend).

Or we can include a huge toe hold to presents such as Utthita Trikonasana (Extended Triangular), Uttanasana (Standing Onward Fold) or Anantasana (Vishnu's Sofa) like in the main image.

Playing with huge toe holds in transitions

One of my preferred dynamic and tough changes is the change between huge toe hold in Vasisthasana via Lunge to Utthita Hasta Padangusthasana.

Starting off in Vasisthasana holding the appropriate large toe with best thumb and fingers.

Exhale, turn downwards as well as tip the appropriate foot to the top of the floor covering still holding the big toe, touchdown in a lunge with the right foot forward.

Release the right big toe hold as well as area your hand on your hip. Weigh down with that appropriate front foot as you step the left foot forwards as well as up into Utthita Hasta Padangusthasana (leg forward variant) on an inhale. Take hold of the left large toe as you shift into it.

Then, an exhale will bring you gradually back down to a standing ahead fold.

Release the huge toe once the foot is lowered as well as step the left foot back to a lunge.

Plant the left pass on as well as come onto the external side of the left foot to locate Vasisthasana once more with the large toe hold (on the ideal foot) on an inhale.

Repeat this 3-5 times each side (with a smile!) ... the last time on each side discovering the greatest expression of Utthita Hasta Padangusthasana (leg to the side).

Baddha Konasana How It Works The Cobbler Pose works on the inner and outer thighs. An interesting variation of this pose is to flutter the legs like a butterfly – a reason why it is also called the Butterfly Pose. It is easy, straightforward, and relaxes your lower body. Precautions Avoid doing this if you are menstruating or have knee injuries. #BaddhaKonasana #asana #Anantasana #YogaPose #yoga #yogainspiration #yogajourney #yogaforstress #yogaforlife #yogini
