EKA PADA VASISTHASANA VINYASA FLOW
Teach your students a progressive vinyasa yoga sequence! Find out here how to make your students progress by adding additional postures to each set (R/L) to enhance the warm-up of the body and put in place all the actions necessary to best achieve the final posture. The progressive method is very understanding of the students and allows teaching in flow, that is to say that the postures are held just for one or two or even three breaths no more.
Vasistha was the name of a famous sage or seer, the family priest of the solar race kings and the author of several Vedic hymns. He was the typical representative of Brahmanical dignity and power and one of the seven sages identified with the stars of Big Dipper. The rivalry between him and the sage Visvamitra is the subject of many legends. This asana is dedicated to sage Vasistha.
This posture strengthens the wrists, engages the legs and tones the lumbar and sacral regions of the spine.
