Crescent yoga

This was in no way an organised event. 🤣🤣

Went to do my weds 6pm yoga session down on the beach so as not to miss this special event.

Like the full moon that shines without asking for recognition, a true teacher quietly illuminates the path for others. This Guru Purnima, we pause in gratitude for Guruji B.K.S. Iyengar as we celebrate the 60th Anniversary of Light on Yoga we give thanks to the lineage of teachers whose wisdom continues to guide our practice.

Opens the chest and shoulders, counteracting hunched, desk-bound posture and helping in anxiety and depression.
• Stretches the front of the neck, throat, and intercostal muscles between the ribs
• Encourages deeper breathing by expanding the rib cage and lungs
• Gently extends the spine, relieving tension built up from forward-flexed positions
• Stretches the hip flexors and front of the thighs (with legs extended as shown)
• Calming for the nervous system when held passively with support, since the prop does the work rather than the muscles

caution: neck/shoulder issues, blood pressure. Easing in slowly and using a lower prop height is a good way to test how your body responds.

Do practice under the guidance of a teacher.
