Folding

It is believed that ancient yogis would practice this pose facing the sunrise and Paschimottanasana (PAH-shee-moh-tun-AHS-uh-nuh) - now that's a mouthful, huh? - and it would deeply stretch their legs and entire back, or “west,” side of their bodies as they folded forward toward the sun. It is a calming yoga pose that helps to relieve stress and one that I try to practice often as it helps with back pain.

 

Thanks for your thoughts on my previous post. It looks like the majority of us are much too connected to be without our technology for long. I am going to test myself though... maybe just before the autumn equinox, to really savor those last days of summer.
