I’ve been drawn to #Navasana lately. With the legs straight, the abdominals and hip flexors have to fight against the hamstrings to maintain the posture and balance on the tail bone. Swipe👈🏼 🙏🏽 Nava-asana : boat pose. In Hindu mythology; Manu carried the sacred Vedas, plants, animals and the Seven primal Sages in a boat through the waters of #pralaya and found refuge atop Mount Meru! . There are references of the boat in Ramayana (Lord Rama travels across the river to his exile in the forest). . In the Mahabharata: the fisherwoman satyavati ferries sage Prasara across the river in the boat. . Lord Krishna evokes romance by riding in a boat under the moon. . In the jataka tales that describe the previous life of the Buddha. . Remember to honor while you teach. Yoga is more than asanas. . So many stories, so much fun 😍 . #beyondasanas #rootsofyoga #ancientpractice #indianmythology #practicemakesprogress #yogalifestyle #balance #honordontappropriate #yogajourney #storytelling #yogateacher #foreverstudent https://www.instagram.com/p/CII1VtqD5ED/?igshid=1jyvxllcv3iie
