What is pratyahara?

Imagine that for a few minutes, you could not use your eyes, ears, nose, tongue, or skin to gather feedback form everything around you. What would be left?

What is asana?

Most simply, for our purposes today, asana is the physical practice of yoga. It’s what you see on the covers of yoga magazines, what you see in Hollywood films, what you scroll through on Instagram. The thing about asana is that it’s not properly represented by “pop-yoga”.

Crown chakra challenge

The seventh and final chakra in my two-month-long challenge. The crown chakra is symbolic of your connection with the Divine. The universe, God, Gaia, whatever you’d like to call it. It is the thousand-petaled lotus, a culmination of the openness and harmony of the six other chakras.
