Tips
In yoga, we work with our physical bodies in order to understand and balance the internal layers of ourselves, including the breath and the mind. The practice can also help us perceive whether our energy is balanced between outward and grounding energy (apana vayu) and inward and upward-moving energy (prana vayu). Parivrtta Utkatasana and Pasasana demand that we simultaneously ground down for stability and focus inward to create length and lightness, or space for twisting. We learn to root to rise, and balance these opposing energies to achieve a feeling of equanimity and ease.
