The shape of a pose is just the beginning.
Explore the internal action in the body with
these ten advanced postures.
By Stefan Camilleri
YOGA POSTURES are made up of two distinct
ingredients — shape and action. The shape
is what the pose looks like, and the action
is what’s going on underneath the skin —
the really good stuff.
In the following ten poses, don’t get
caught up in the shape. Experiment with
these new and exciting actions within the
body. Actions have the potential to unlock
spaciousness and to create a feeling of
lightness and fresh energy. They also make
the postures safer and more expressive.
What’s not to love?
Experiment with these actions and
then find some of your own!
