Yoga Sadhana #2

Yoga posts are like buses, you wait and wait and then two come along together!

Something amazing happened in bharadvajasana in my practice today. It was as though the twist did itself. It felt beautiful and there was far more rotation that I could ever achieve through effort. It's as though when the right conditions were created every part of the body was able to fulfill it's role and the pose just grew. It made me think of the young runner bean plants in the garden. When they have water, warmth and support they are able to spiral up towards the heavens.

It didn't happen on the first attempt and, needless to say, I couldn't recreate the conditions.
