Gomukhasana or cow's face pose, is one the postures I struggle the most because of my limited shoulders flexibility. But this is exactly why I should practice this pose everyday and find stillness there. A yoga pose most become at some point comfort and steady as yoga sutras of Patanjali tells us in 2.46: "sthira sukham asanam". Also the mind should find the stillness there so the movements of the mind can actually stop and we are able to acknowledge our essence. Which comes first? The mind stillness or the body's? It is difficult to say, but one can lead to the other and viceversa. 📸photo by @veronica.quiros.c #sthirasukhamasanam #gomukhasana #rishikesh #ganga #yogaasana #adhikara #chittavrittinirodhah #yogaisequanimity #yogapractice #luanafarayoga

Today I want to honor my teachers, my Gurus. One thing I have understood through the course of life is that in order of being passionated about teaching, we must be passionated about learning. There is no way of enjoying the process of teaching if we don't enjoy the process of learning. Both are part of the same unit, they are not separated. I have discover how passionate I am about being a student during my life, same passion I feel about sharing information and experiences with others... I feel deeply grateful with life for this. So I honor not only my teachers but also my students, because we are all expanding on the same process.

Sometimes we need to twist our minds so we can see from different angles. When we stay in our same ideas, that come from the same information, then there is always the same solutions, the same answers, the same directions. But if we allow our minds to create space, we might be able to see what is on the sides of the road, which will be limited if we just remain always facing forward. Again, the practice of yoga is just about creating space so we can be able to see beyond. Taking a practical example: sometimes we create our own way of doing things, for example a way if practicing an āsana. We remain there because it feels good and in some way it feels like we have found the right way of practicing it. But if we just let it go of the information of which we have appropriated and we become humble, then we might be able to sit on the chair of the student, so we may find surprises on the new information. We might create new experiences and consequently new knowledge. Beginners mind is what lays under Adhikara, which means studentship and devotion to study and learn. Let us be students and create space so we can expand!

Any experts in South Asian philosophy wanna explain what exactly adhikāra means and answer some questions I have about how it may relate to the epistemology glimpsed through Sanskrit semantics?

Inversions are great for the body and even more for the mind. When inverted, our muscles deconstruct their patterns of movement so we can learn to move the body from a different place of understanding. We usually move from what we already know, but think about it... how would it be if you have to move a part of your body you don’t know how to move? That’s similar to what happens when we are inverted, so we have to recreate this awareness, and the big opportunity here is that we can create it almost from zero. That’s why it’s so hard to understand instructions when we are in a hand or head stand, we don’t know what is front or back, what is up and down, until we develop this new awareness. Inversions remind me that we are always students, that only from a place of “not knowing” is that we can learn. If we stick to what we already know, that knowledge will fill the whole space leaving no room for new learnings. In Sanskrit the word “Adhikara” means studentship, it refers to that beginners mind which is open to receive. May us always be students. 🤓😍🙌🏽 📷👉🏽photo by @fotosbyboca #urdhvadandasana #inversions #adhikara #beginnersmind #yogaasana #luanafarayoga

#Repost @sukhabijayoga ... En los Yoga Sutras 1.40 al 1.51 se sugiere que una vez que logramos la ecuanimidad o la serenidad de la mente y la estabilidad de las emociones, es entonces cuando podemos acceder al conocimiento del todo de modo diferente, es en ese momento en el que lo que observamos y lo observado se vuelve uno, ya no definimos para entender, sino que comprendemos, ya no reflexionamos sobre lo vivido u observado pues vivimos desde nuestra esencia la verdad de eso que ES dentro y fuera de nosotros. Dejamos entonces de juzgar y la concentración ahora ya no es en un objeto, simplemente es, AQUÍ Y AHORA COMO PARTE DEL TODO! #om #shanti #namaste #yoga #yogaparatodos #sukhabijayoga #adhikara #yogasutras
