Wood! Liver! Sours! Sprouts! Backbends!
A spring asana practice has the characteristic of rising yang - of unfurling, sprouting, backbending.
Like a sprout that is rising towards the sunbeams, we can look around into personal and great nature to see that following the yin of the winter,
things are happening everywhere. That sprout moves all the way through the center of our body as the beginning of a smile,
the beginning of a backbend.
Cultivate formality and measurement in order to safely amplify that smile, the arc line of potential, the secret whisperer of spring, and open it up.
By freeing the pubis to sniff forward towards potential, using desire to motivate and move us out into the world, by using our roots to rise up,
knowing that they are ambulatory (our roots are made for walking!), we can start coming out of our shells and seeing what’s out there for us.
SPRING PRACTICE — Asana: Seed Camel
Come to sit with your seat on top of your heels, placing a blanket underneath the knees for support
Let the forehead rest on the ground
Grab hold of the heels with the hands, and feel the back of the body as a safety, a carapace
Inhale upwards, pressing the hips forward and lifting the chest; the inhale seizes the day, the exhale sleeps the night.
Inhale as you expand the arcling of potential, lifting the lungs to catch the vision of a new day
Exhale to integrate experience into your seed form.
Remember, backbends are never for ending over backwards. Rather, they offer a glimpse of the future.
Other seasonal practices include: Blossom Harvesting for tinctures, salves, honeys + perfumes, Shatkarmas like Jala Neti,
Dry Brushing, Deer Exercises, and brewing Bitters for Summer…
