In this hot weather, our posture of the year, Crow, is less desirable than usual. Arm balances heat the body and mostly students want to cool down in these temperatures. I proposed Crow Beak breathing as an alternative in last night’s class.
The students appreciated the practice, learning how to breathe through their mouth with their tongue exposed to the air. Some students avoided crow posture while others combined it with the breathing technique. Hatha Yoga always has variations for everyone and all circumstances.
Can you vary your practices as necessary? Which tools may serve you today? Ki to Happiness keeps practicing with variations thru all circumstances.
