The Inner Shakti

Backbending tones the physical structure and sharpens mental alertness.

It addresses various moods and emotions, including depression, dullness, anger, and an overactive ego.

The practice benefits the organic body through vigorous circulation in the anterior and central spine, while also toning the kidneys. It brings balance to the nervous system—akin to a perfect note resonating throughout the body.

Why do we repeat the same sequence?or repeat the poses within a sequence ??

In Iyengar Yoga, repetition is not accidental.
It is intentional.

The first time you perform a sequence,
you establish the form.

You place the foot.
You lift the arm.
You manage the block.

The action is done—
but not yet understood.

The second time, something changes.

You begin to feel:
Which shoulder is closing.
Which elbow is bending.
Where the breath shortens.

This is where practice begins.

The difference is subtle, but decisive:
Performance asks:
Did I complete the pose?

Practice asks:
What did I observe?

Repeating the basics is not a step backward.
It is the moment
when the body begins to speak
and the practitioner begins to listen.

💬 When you repeat a pose—Are you doing it again…
or are you seeing something new?

By maintaining flexibility in the joints and muscles, we make space in the areas that are vital for the health of the lower back, pelvis, and organic body.

Enjoy all the health benefits that develop and as a result of this subtle practice. The breath will naturally become quieter, and more lengthened. This longer, deeper breath moves to the lower pelvis which aligns the organic body. As a result, the mind is then able to let go of tension and stress.

The 2010s did love songs differently — softer, dreamier, sometimes a little sad, sometimes full of late-night energy. This was the era of indie love songs, Tumblr quotes, city lights, and feelings you didn’t always say out loud. These songs weren’t just hits. They were bus rides with headphones on, summer nights that felt like movies, relationships that started with a playlist, and memories that still live in certain songs. From electric indie love to quiet heartbreak, 2010s love songs made romance feel nostalgic even while you were living it. 2010s Love Songs: 1. Somebody That I Used to Know – Gotye ft. Kimbra 2. Sweater Weather – The Neighbourhood 3. Stolen Dance – Milky Chance 4. Safe and Sound – Capital Cities 5. Rude – MAGIC! 6. Electric Love – BØRNS 7.

This week's focus is to gain a deeper understanding across various asana groups, including standing, forward bending, seated, back extensions, twists, and inversions. By integrating strength and mobility, we'll foster a sense of safety that promotes calmness in both body and mind, allowing us to connect at a deeper level.
