Dear Yogi,
Although it's tempting to forge full steam ahead into spring, the season often holds us back in the throes of winter. Snow and rain, cold temperatures and bare trees grace the landscape, offering little respite from the look and feel of the previous two months. Caught in the in-between, moving forward sometimes seems daunting. What better time to slow down. No need to move backwards, or run head-first into summer. Instead, cherish those few glorious spring days before Mother Nature prescribes winter again. Notice the new growth in gardens and the budding trees. Appreciate the beauty around you for what it is, rather than wishing for lush greenery and abundant sunshine. Spring Forward into the present, rather than worrying about the future.

 Asana of the Month: Garudasana
(gah-rue-DAHS-anna)
Garuda = the mythic "King of Birds" or eagle
Eagle pose is the quintessential cleansing posture. This tightly compressed asana detoxifies your major joints from head to toe and stimulates your lymphatic system.
How to achieve Garudasana:
From downward facing dog, bend your knees and step to the top of your mat. On an inhale, bend your knees a lot and rise up to Utkatasana, or chair pose. Squeeze your inner thighs together, engage your core, and draw your weight back into your heels. On an exhale, sweep your right arm underneath your left with elbows bent, and draw your palms together. Then, sweep your right leg over your left and either rest your right foot on the ground next to your left ankle, or wrap your right toes around the back of your left calf. Keep squeezing your inner thighs together, and melt your hips a little bit deeper. Work on drawing your elbows away from your chest and your palms away from your face. If this is painful on your shoulders, simply rest opposite palms on opposite shoulders. Hold Garudasana for 7 - 10 breaths on the right side; then return to Utkatasana and repeat on the left side.
Watch our asana of the month podcast online!
Our monthly podcasts feature a new asana each month as well as our Ask a Yogi segments where we provide answers to frequently asked yoga questions.
