Saturday 8.30a Asana 1 — Week 44 (October 31, 2009)

Focus: Maintain the shape of the supported supine torso when sitting up in pranayama to both keep the mind calm and facilitate the flow of prana. Learning the actions in a wide variety of asanas indirectly teaches how to adjust in Savasana, Swastikasana, and pranayama. Based on the teachings of Geeta Iyengar’s 7-2-09 pranayama class.
