Bindi Boya

The half pigeon pose or the Ardha kapotasana is a seated back bending yoga pose. I enjoy this pose because it has improved my hip flexibility. Sitting in this challenging but awakening pose allows me to learn to be and breath in challenging situations. To connect and dig deeper, to breathe deeper, is essential in life.

I enjoy the challenge that the Sirsasana pose offers. The benefits of this pose are directly linked to the increase of blood circulation throughout the body and particularly the scalp. In this pose I have learned to look at life's circumstances differently, to look at life through a different perspective!

The prominent Pranamasana focuses on strengthening the nervous System. This pose provides the mind with peace and calmness as the body remains still and relaxed.
