Tension and Rigidity

Tension and Rigidity

|

Tension is not rigidity.
💛
In the body and mind we have necessary and unnecessary tension.
💛
Every asana should be held with the right amount of tension. 
💛
This takes practice…
When in the asana scan your body to find where you need to add tension - by elongating the spine, straightening the knees, fingers and so on…
💛
Then scan the body again to find and release the unnecessary tension in the body - in the face, toes, fingers and then the rest of the body.
💛
Notice how releasing the tension in the body affects the mind.
💛
Later observe the mind during the practice - to find the necessary and unnecessary tension. 👈🏾This one is much harder, but with practice you will find the balance of tension in the mind as well.
💛
