| I have recently begun yoga as a practice again after spending more of my time in meditation. I am experiencing more integration with my chakra systems in doing so. My latest development is to discover the asanas that are particularly beneficial for my dosha (Vata 3, Pitta 2, Kapha 1). These are the asanas that I have read about so far that I am going to explore:
Siddhasana, Vajrasana, Virasana, Vrksasana, Trikonasana, Virabhadrasna, Parighasana, Virparitakarani, Janu Sirsasana, Paschimottanasana, Kurmasana, Parivrtta Janu, Sirasana, Navasana, Yoga Mudra, Bharadvajasana II, Pasasana. Since I am interested in yoga mainly for self-realization, could you make any other suggestions for me?

| Hi Cindy,
You may be interested in the book "Yoga and Ayurveda" by David Frawley if you haven't already seen it. And the book "Yoga for Transformation" (Gary Kraftsow) offers a lot of insight into how to practice with the intent of self realization.

| Thank you. I do know David Frawley's book, but not Gary Kraftsow. I will pursue it.
May all be fed. May all be healed. May all be loved.

| Thank you. I will check into Mira Mehta's book too. I am interested in the quote of Inengar. Action meaning internal and conscious action or shifting, not just physical movement?

I'd say that is a reasonable interpretation. There is a lot of action in tadasana but no movement  |

Suggestions? : 1. Try simple diet. 2. Less hectic life. 3. If your meditation was enjoyable and peaceful, continue it. |

| Would you care to elaborate on that qtip? I don't see that you have added much to the discussion here. |

| As well as the excellent advice already mentioned, another frequently overlooked though very effective method for balancing the doshas is the practise of the shat karmas/kriyas.
While many of them are quite advanced, some are suitable for beginers. It is important to recognise that though outwardly simple, they are extremely powerful and should therefore not be learnt from a book but from an experienced teacher.
They have really enhanced my own practise. |
