Your inner world is a vast and varied landscape. This yoga practice is a guided exploration of that terrain, using three key poses to help you connect with the fundamental qualities of your own being: your innate stability (Earth), your capacity for fluid change (Water), and your boundless inner space (Ether).
Begin your exploration on the solid ground of your own stability in Balasana (Child’s Pose). No matter how chaotic life gets, there is a part of you that is steady and unchanging. This pose helps you connect with that core strength. Feel the unwavering support of the ground and recognize that same quality of resilience and rootedness within yourself.
Next, navigate the currents of your inner world with Viparita Karani (Legs-Up-the-Wall). Your emotions and energy are constantly in motion, like water. This pose encourages you to embrace that fluidity rather than resist it. By promoting physical flow and release, it teaches you to move through your feelings with grace and ease, understanding that nothing is permanent.
Finally, discover the infinite expanse of your inner space in Paschimottanasana (Seated Forward Bend). Beyond your thoughts and emotions is a vast, quiet awareness. This introspective posture is a gateway to that dimension of your being. As you withdraw from the outer world, you can rest in the silent, peaceful spaciousness that is the very essence of your consciousness.
