Integral Yoga Cape Town

My inspiration from today’s walk . Chameleons are believed to bring adaptability, harmony and change. The closest yoga pose - its cousin the lizard-Utthan Pristhasana, has physical and mental benefits: flexibility, balance, and stress release. Good for lower back pain, sciatica, opening the hips and releasing emotions. 🪷

Sometimes we just need a walk with a friend 🪷

Talasana - giraffe pose brings focus and balance, strengthening legs, ankles, feet and arms and abdominal muscles, and improves flexibility of the spine. What grace 🪷

Just like that - it’s summer. Surya Namaskar - salute to the sun has particular significance for me at this time of the year. In the Western and Northern Cape the flowers open up in glorious display after the rains, I come out of hibernation and feel like I am defrosting from the cold of winter. As I perform this asana I salute this great life source of our planet - in everything we eat, drink, breathe and feel☀️

Every human being can be happy, experience love and wisdom and be whole and complete. This is the solid declaration of the Yogis.

Yoga and Vedanta are the time-tested ways by which humans have been able to attain this. To accomplish this, one needs to be able to harmonise body, heart, mind and soul. An integrated approach of all the Yogas is the most suitable way. This ensures that every part of our being is harmonised. When we are harmonised on all levels of our being, we can attain true and lasting happiness, love, wisdom and wholeness. https://anandakutir.org.za/integral-yoga/
