Pelvis and Hip Muscles
Greetings, earnest practitioners of Ashtanga yoga,
Ah, the world of Ashtanga, where we twist and turn in our mats like pretzels attempting to find harmony and peace, while blissfully ignoring the chaos outside the yoga studio. Don’t mind my sardonic tone; it’s just that sometimes, the systems thinker in me wonders how much of this is genuine enlightenment and how much is glorified contortion.
So here’s a thought: what if applying the same dedication we pour into mastering Ashtanga’s series could shift larger systems? Imagine diverting just a fraction of our focus from seeking the perfect Trikonasana to seeking a more balanced planet. But then again, the allure of the next yoga retreat might be too hard to resist, right?
Anyway, if your interest is piqued, I urge you to explore further. Perhaps you could sneak a read between your sun salutations or during the final Savasana when the mind is less cluttered by thoughts of the next organic smoothie.
Remember, the world is a huge system, with or without your yoga mat. Namaste in confusion, dear yogis.
