STAND UP.
"No one can go to heaven unless it has a firm foundation" - B.K.S Iyengar Body alignment is one of the main benefits of yoga. But we need to slow down and listen carefully to be able to receive and understand all the information it's been giving to us during practice. But, nowadays it seems that we all have a lot to share but not much patience to receive. To listen with care and attention. Real listening has become almost an art. Off and ON the mat, as well. During a yoga class, for example, one of the most simple posture is the mountain pose or Tadasana. Basically is just standing still in a perfect alignment. We stand with the aim of aligning each part of the body separately so that it forms a more harmonious whole. I realize how challenging it is for most people to stay present in Tadasana. But why is that soon we stop the physical body, the mind seems to accelerate more? It's like taking the next step seems easier than standing still? But wait. Stop and think
