'If there was one Yoga posture I would teach every single person in the world, knowing its power to transform, it would be Makarasana, the Crocodile'. How can this very simple to do yoga posture have so many benefits? From easing back, neck and shoulder tension, to relieving anxiety and stress, releasing negative emotions, improving confidence and so much more, I have witnessed Makarasana transform the lives of countless people in my classes over the years and wanted to share the magic. Teresa teaches and explores this posture in depth combining yoga philosophy with the science. Includes video and audio mp3's to download to enhance your practice. When practiced regularly and with awareness Makarasana brings peace and clarity into your life. It enables you to navigate stressful situations and builds resilience to stress and negativity. You find the capacity to heal and release negative emotions and return to a state of balance and harmony, allowing your natural state of happiness to bubble up from deep inside of you. It opens your heart to love, compassion and forgiveness, enabling self-acceptance, self-confidence and enhanced self-esteem. Mentally you learn to detach from thoughts that don’t serve you, to change your perception, see things differently and realise you have choices. These choices can set you free from the past and create a positive new future with purpose and meaning. You learn to connect with an inner strength, calm and a clarity that enables you to see and understand the truth of any situation. It builds courage and a strong will infused with determination. Physically Makarasana enables diaphragmatic breathing, aids many back, hip, neck and shoulder issues, grounds your energy, improves your posture and infuses your whole being with vibrant health and well-being. Your body is nourished through deep relaxation that releases tension and fatigue, and the restoration of healthy sleep. Spiritually you connect with the essence of who you are and find the source of life’s magic. This is why I believe whole heartedly that if everyone spent time in this amazing posture, the world would truly benefit. People would be happier, healthier and able to manage negative emotions and conflict so that living in peace and harmony would become a reality, not just a dream.
