Surrender to Love

Amazing what a little support will do to help achieve a posture which would otherwise be impossible.  Malasana practice at the gym.  Arguably one of the most useful things we can do in life to combat the tightening of the psoas muscles and the corresponding weakening of the gluteal muscles.  Great for the hips and the lower back too.  Getting the heels down is so difficult for many of us, but the support of a bungee rope at the gym makes this much more achievable.   Ishvara pranidhana in  action - letting go and accepting support - one of the key yogic principles - and for many of us one of the most difficult to practice, in life as well as on the mat.   One translation describes this niyama as surrender to love.  I like that.   Be kind to yourself.  Norman 🙏
