airy nature: working on one type of asanas
feels too stable for me.
Finally, I open my eyes after Shavasana, stand
up, and do some Balancing poses. These
asanas don’t come easy for my body type, but
after a rounded workout and proper
relaxation, they become manageable.
EXAMPLE 2: Another example comes from a
friend of mine who complains that she can’t
make herself do even a few rounds of Surya
Namaskar in the morning.
Her body type is flexible. Unlike me, she’s very
good at Hip Openers and Forward Bends. Her
muscles are weaker, and she’s naturally a
more passive person.
Ayurveda would prescribe her lots of Standing
asanas to build her stamina. So, it’s logical
that Surya Namaskar should be a perfect
practice for her. Yet, the idea of performing it
doesn’t turn her on.
Why? Because her body loves passive things.
She enjoys a more relaxed practice and is a bit
lazy to do really active physical exercises.
