Don’t worry, I’m not at any risk of falling off this ledge. I’m not a climber or a big risk taker, so I am always safe. Did you know that more people SEO each year taking selfies that shark attacks and the number is increasing? Not to mention how many yoga practitioners hurt themselves trying to get that perfect photo. It’s all good and fun in the moment, but it’s also important to curb our enthusiasm and keep it safe. Thanks to everyone for an awesome weekend @spaceyoga I will be back in Taiwan again for a longer course of teaching. Hope to see you there. It’s 15 hours from Taipei to NYC, heading back to the US ✈️What’s the longest flight you’ve taken?

What is Paschimottanasana?

Paschimottanasana happens to be a classic yoga pose which means ‘Seated Forward Bend’ pose in English. This pose involves the practitioners folding the top half of their body over their seated lower half. In order to successfully practise this pose, practitioners are required to be mentally focused and flexible. When practising this pose, your entire body is stretched, including your calves, hamstrings, and your spine. In this article, let’s find out the types of Paschimottanasana, the steps and some precautions to consider while performing this yoga pose!

Types of Paschimottanasana

You can incorporate the following variations when you attempt to practise Paschimottanasana such that you don’t strain your muscles:

Paschimottanasana with a Prop

In case you find it hard to place your legs on the floor without bending your knees, you can use a prop to support your knees and place it below them. This prop could be a blanket or a flat pillow. If you feel any strain on your chest or lower abdomen, you can place this prop on your thighs such that when you stretch forward, you can breathe with greater ease.

Paschimottanasana with a Strap

In order to thoroughly stretch your body in this pose, you are required to hold your toes. If you aren’t able to do this, you can use a strap around your feet and hold onto it. This strap will provide you with additional support and will help you execute the Paschimottanasana yoga pose better.

Paschimottanasana with Bent Knees

In the event you find it hard to focus on your breath as your hamstrings feel tight, you could perform this pose with bent knees. Furthermore, you could sit on a pillow which will lift up your hips and allow you to reach your toes.

Paschimottanasana for Holistic Health and Vitality | Bali Yog Shala

Start a journey to holistic wellness with Paschimottanasana, the yoga asana that stands out as a beacon of health. This powerful pose is not just a physical stretch; it’s a gateway to invigorating your life force, known as prana, through the sushumna channel. Regular practice promises a plethora of benefits, from igniting your digestive fire to sculpting a flat abdomen, and setting you on a path free from diseases.

Paschimottanasana is a key to unlocking the manipura chakra, enhancing the strength of your digestive organs and ensuring a smooth flow of energy that revitalizes your entire system. It’s not an overnight miracle but a commitment to daily practice that stretches and tones your spinal column, shoulders, arms, and legs, while also massaging your internal organs like the pancreas, spleen, and kidneys.

This asana is particularly beneficial for those managing diabetes, constipation, and appetite loss. It also supports reproductive health, easing menstrual cycles and sexual disorders. Beyond physical health, Paschimottanasana is a stress-buster, regulating adrenal glands to release tension from both body and mind. With each stretch, you’re not just shedding excess fat but also cultivating balance and harmony within. Start your practice today and feel the transformation unfold within you.

There is a difference between quitting and surrender. Discovering what that distinction is requires subtlety and wisdom. And sometimes we need someone to point out to us the ways in which we have quit. And sometimes we need a guide to help find out how to surrender. It’s a process. It’s a practice. This is yoga. Keep practicing 🙏 It felt so good to be back LIVE for yoga drills yesterday on @omstarsofficial If you missed it you join me next Wednesday at 1 pm.

Découvrir La Posture de la Pince

Paschimottanasana a de nombreux petits noms : flexion avant assis, la Pince, ou encore, plus poétique, la Posture de l’Étirement de l’Ouest. Cette position assise fait partie des postures emblématiques du yoga. En apparence, on pourrait croire qu’elle est simple à réaliser. Mais elle demande beaucoup de flexibilité pour être prise correctement. Cependant, pas besoin d’être ultra souple pour…
