The Tree (balance pose)

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. …….

17 years Hatha Yoga Ipswich

premaria

Exactly 17 years ago today, on the Tuesday 31st of October 2006 at 6pm, I was teaching the first Yoga class here in Ipswich. It was the 6pm class on a Tuesday at the Scout Hall in Cameron Park, Booval. This specific class, day, time & location is still running today. Sometimes with 1 or 2 yogis joining the class, other times a full hall, and of course since three years always someone joining the class online via Zoom as well.

Of course there are and have been other yoga classes as well, at different locations, days & times. Always a continuous stream.

Thank you to each and everyone who ever chanted OM with me while joining a class. Thank you for your continues support and loyalty. Thanks & Blessings with all my heart, Maria Prema. OM OM OM
