Soaring high in Shoulder Stand

Yoga Cape Town

Have you ever tried shoulder stand with support under the shoulders? Aaaah – it is glorious. You get an extra lift and the pose take on a lighter feel, as though you are flying.

 

The actual meaning of what has become known as ‘shoulder stand’ is “whole body pose” …. Sarva- entire/whole; Anga- body/limb: hence whole body posture. This pose refers to the LIFT of the entire body. The support not only facilitates that lift, but more importantly prevents the neck from injury by keeping the natural curve of the neck intact.

Join the Iyengar Yoga Retreat this September to experience Sarvangasana in this spacious way.

Today it is practiced in various forms around the world and continues to grow in popularity. Recognizing its universal appeal, on 11 December 2014, the United Nations proclaimed 21 June as International Yoga Day. International Yoga Day aims to raise awareness worldwide of the many benefits of practicing yoga.

Twilight Savasana

SOLAR ECLIPSE

Solar eclipse, and an amazing sunset to end off an equally amazing weekend. It was amazing to do yoga in Noordhoek while watching the moon overlapping the sun. One could almost look at it with a naked eye because of the recent smoke from the fire that broke out over Hout Bay.
