Balance on one leg – the Tree pose The balancing postures on one leg are mentally highly demanding. These postures develop, to the highest degree, the powers of mental concentration and single-mindedness of thought, as well as physical balance. It also improves the muscle strength in the standing leg. Therefore always practice on both sides, even though usually one side is easier than the other.
Start with lifting the foot a little to stand on one leg. As the balance improves bring the leg up higher, all the way to half-lotus.
Another way to practice standing on one leg. Close your eyes and count for how long you can stand on one leg, repeat on the other side.
Repeat, repeat, repeat. …….

Also known as the “Salutation Seal,” this Mudra is one of the most recognisable hand positions in yoga. It is both a joining and a gesture of reverence.
Place both hands together in front of your heart chakra. Placing your hands together in front of your chest supports inner collection and creates harmony, balance, repose, silence and peace. This gesture activates and harmonises coordination of the left and right brain hemispheres. It can support a meditation when you have a request of the Divine, when you have a heart’s desire that you would like to have fulfilled. With this gesture, you also express reverence or gratitude. In India, it is the gesture of greeting or thanks; it shows respect for fellow human beings. Namaste
(From the the book – Mudras – Yoga in your hands, by Gertrud Hirschi, page 144).
Namaste – Maria, June 2024.
Namaste (hand prayer position) Meaning: My soul honours your soul. I honour the place in you where the entire universe resides. I honour the light, love, truth, beauty & peace within you, because it is also within me. In sharing these things we are united, we are the same, we are one.
