Yoga For Heart And Soul: Incorporate some grounding asanas into your yoga routine, such as forward bends, which can help the body and mind unwind, standing poses, which can help you feel balanced. Practice twists to help the body release toxins, followed by pranayama and meditation to help the body and mind feel balanced and calm.
Vata is associated with the wind and air, as well as his preference for things that are chilly, dry, abrasive, brittle, and hard—features that we naturally associate with the spring and summer seasons. Vata also influences our nervous system, as well as the movement of our bones, hearing, skin, joints, and thoughts. Here’s a list of a few yoga asanas that will benefit your entire body and give you a sense of calm like you’ve never felt before.
Adho Mukha Svanasana – Downward Facing Dog
Adho Mukha Svanasana (Downward Facing Dog): Begin in a forward fold while bending from the hips. Return to a plank position and place your hands on the floor. The sitting bones are tilted upward as the hips are raised and the chest is returned to the thighs. Lengthen the spine before lowering the heels to the ground. Re-plug the arms into the shoulder joints to achieve a stable and secure posture. Feel how solid the ground is beneath your hands and feet.
Virabhadrasana II-Warrior II Pose:
Turn the torso to the left and open to Warrior II with the left foot angled at a 90-degree angle. While looking at the right hand, extend the left arm behind you and the right arm in front of you. Draw the outside of the right hip towards the back of the mat while pressing the outside of the left foot into the ground. To engage the leg muscles, slightly closer the feet together. Feel the strength of the legs and the firm, secure foundation of the stance, and look at the palms of the hands pointing down toward the floor. Pay attention to a downward energy flow.
Utkata Konasana – Goddess Pose:
Indent your toes and bring your feet closer together as you turn to face the left side of your mat. Squat down and make sure your knees and feet are pointing in the same general direction. Arrange your arms in a cactus position, elbows perpendicular to your shoulders. You can possibly get closer to the ground by moving your hips slightly. Sit up straight to feel the stance’s stability and power. Turn to face the back of your mat and perform Warrior II on the left side before moving on to Warrior I.
Vriksasana – Tree Pose:
After taking a few deep breaths and standing tall in Tadasana while feeling the earth beneath all four feet, step the right foot to meet the left. Slowly shift your weight to your right foot and watch it sink deep roots into the ground. The sole of the left foot should touch the inside of the right ankle, calf, or thigh as you fully shift your weight to the right leg. Spread your arms instead and let your branches grow. Place your hands at your heart, palms in. On the left, there is a lot of repetition.
Something about spring makes you feel rejuvenated and restored, as if it were the ideal time to completely reinvent yourself and adopt healthier habits. The beginning of spring is often used as a time to concentrate, organise, and work more diligently in preparation for the summer season.
