When your back into a wall is a good thing!

When your back into a wall is a good thing!

I often tell my students if you want to get an idea of what is going on in your body, sit on the floor. You cant hide from what shows up from simply sitting on the ground - it’s not easy or simple.

Sitting on the floor takes us back to our roots - there was a time when we didn’t even think twice about doing so and the body could do this easily. Habits through the years creates differences in the body that can make this kind of sitting not as easy as we age. So for today’s posture, I want us to sit on the floor but also to find ease. We are going to do both variations - c crossed legs and also legs extended. We have covered these two poses previously - sukasana (episode 28) and dandasana (episode 31) but today we are going to do each of these poses a bit differently - with our backs resting into a wall.
