Lebanon in a Picture

Wheel variation ⭕️ backbends used to be my nightmare, i felt like I couldn’ (Byblos - Jbeil) Wheel variation ⭕️ backbends used to be my nightmare, i felt like I couldn’t breathe in these asanas, and my shoulders are really tight due to all the paddling. I hurt myself once doing wheel with extended leg, and the picture turned out to be perfect. But my breath was not. My body ached days after and I promised myself that day to stop practicing for the “asana goal” but to practice solely for my body,mind and soul. It was my 2017 resolution. It’s so easy to get lost in social media comparison, bendy yogis getting into beautiful asanas... but YOGA is so so so so so far from this... In the yoga sutras there is only 3/196 sutras on asanas. Yoga is about less suffering not more suffering. Asanas are here to teach. To help. Remember this and all is coming 🙏✨
