Each Day is One Day

Well this is my first writing to the blog. There´s almost one year since I went to the first Ashtanga Yoga lesson I can say that I fall in Love at the first practice.
The time as passed really quickly this year. Ashtanga as helped in many ways in my life, not only in my daily life but also inside me, there where subtle changes coming threw. Sometimes we fill that we already found something but then it comes a day that shows that there´s still "work" to do with this comes humility, discipline and respect.
After this year of practice I can feel that each day is one day, and what we should do is to try to maintain the stability accepting each day. All of us can feel that sometimes we wake up very happy and looks like everythings is going to the perfect and then we go to practice and the body doesn´t respond in the way we want; and there are other ways that we are feeling down and a little bit lazy and we start practice and everything just opens. So what I can see is that Each day is one Day as in every other things of our lifes.

with Love Ascelotus

Utthita Trikonasana

Utthita Trikonasana has five vinyasas, of which the 2nd and the 4th are the states of the Asana. Rechaka and puraka should be performed as above and as with the Surya Namaskara, rechaka occurs in the even numbered vinyasas and puraka in the odd. Aspirants should note the correct movements of both, and perform them properly.



Method

First beginning with puraka, jump the legs open to the right, three feet apart, strech the arms out wide on either side of the torso at the chest level, and hold; this is the first vinyasa. Then, turn the right foot to the right and exhaling, reach down and take hold of the big toe of the right foot with the right hand, lift up the other arm, fix the gate on the fingertips, and do puraka and rechaka slowly and as much as possible; this is the 2nd vinyasa, both knees must be kept straight (see figure). Then, doing, puraka return to the position of the 1st Vinyasa, and hold; this is the 3rd vinyasa. Then, turn the left foot to the left, and doing rechaka, reach down and take holf of the big toe, gate at the tip of the raised hand, and do puraka and rechaka as much as possible; this is the 4th vinyasa. Then, doing puraka, return to the position of the 1st vinyasa; this is the 5th vinyasa. Then, return to Samasthiti
