Yogic asana and pranayama have been developed in such a way that they work on multiple aspects at once. The asanas realign the muscles of the body to their correct position, improve digestion and the hormonal balance.
The breath and our attention to the breath and body remove the mental dullness and the emotional toxicity that collects in the body and mind. Once the body is in a good state while awake, it is active, productive and lively. Consequently, a day well spent leads to a night well rested – sleep automatically becomes deep and peaceful and rhythmic.
This book is a record of an actual session from my Yoga Studio, and since it is so easy, practical, quick and beneficial, I thought to share it with you all.
