GARUDASANA (Garuda = eagle) Eagle Pose
|
From Tadasana, bend the right knee and lift the left leg and place it over the right thigh. Move the left foot behind the right calf. Hook the left big toe just above the inner side of the right ankle. The left leg is now entwined around the right leg.
Bend the elbows with the fingertips facing the ceiling. Place the right elbow inside the left elbow bend. Move the right hand to the right and the left hand to the left and join the palms. The left arm is now entwined around the right arm. Stay for 15-20 seconds. Do asana on opposite side. Repeat asana on both side 1-2 times.
This asana develops the ankles and removes stiffness in the shoulders. It is recommended for preventing cramps in the calf muscles.

Burn Up Old Karma: 1st and 2nd Chakras
Saturday, April 26th 1-4pm, w/ Peggy Hong
What's all that "old stuff" holding you back? It could be fetal, ancestral, collective, sexual, or infancy/early childhood energetic baggage. Issues of support, trust and survival arise here in the 1st and 2nd chakras of the lower body. Are you ready for a deep spring cleaning? Working through the intelligence of the body while ensuring physical and emotional safety, we will focus on standing poses and hip openers to burn up that old, old karma.
For students with at least 3 months of Iyengar Yoga study.
IYD Members Community Gift Suggested Fee: $15-$50

At IYD we offer a selection of "community gift"/pay-what-you-can classes each week, marked with "*" on
the schedule. While there is no set fee, your generous gift, whether $2 or $20, will keep the class running and allow others to experience the same benefits you receive. The lessons of Iyengar Yoga, so generously offered by the Iyengar family and the teachers they have trained, are priceless. Let us appreciate this sacred art by giving what we can from the heart. Keep the gift circulating!
