#padmasana ♂️ I think of Padmasana as a posture to sit in when your hips are eventually open.
Your shin bones in this posture are more likely to stress your knees than your hips if your hips are restricted.
Lotus pose helps redirect apana (downward energy) through the lower half of your body, moving it back toward the center of your pelvis and up your spine; it has a centering effect on consciousness. ♂️
As usual, never force or strain. ⭐️ #practiceyoga #travellingyogi #worldofyoga #vinyasayoga #wanderlust #yogachallenge #kramavinyasa #yogaeverywhere #yogaeverydamnday #yogafeature #yogawitharian #yogaflow #yogaforeverybody #yogaformen #yogafun #yogajournal #yogajourney #yogagram #yogainspiration #yogalife #yogaonline #yogapose #yogaphotography #yogapractice #yogaretreat #yogastudent #yogateacher #yogatutorial #yogavibes
This asana is named after the yogi Matsyendranath. The name is taken from the Sanskrit words ‘ardha’, which means half, ‘matsya’, which means fish, ‘Indra’, which stands for a king or ruler, and asana, which means posture.
This asana is also called Vakrasana. ‘Vakra’ means twisted in Sanskrit. Some other names for this asana include the Half Lord of the Fishes Pose and the Half Spinal Twist.
This is not the full variation but a journey towards it.
