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.
