There is a growing tendency today to move quickly towards Sirsasana early in one’s practice. But Sirsasana is not about reaching the final pose but it is about how you arrive there.
Each step has its own purpose. The placement of the hands, the positioning of the head, the gradual walk in, and the lift through the core are not just preparatory actions. They build clarity, strength, and direction in the body. When these are given time and attention, the pose begins to feel less like an effort and more like a state one can stay with.
With consistent practice, alignment brings a certain ease. At that point, the practitioner is no longer preoccupied with holding the asana together. There is space to observe, to refine, and to remain quietly attentive.
Over time, it becomes apparent that the person who comes down from Sirsasana is not quite the same as the one who went up. The change is subtle, but it is there in the steadiness of the breath and the quality of awareness. This is what allows those few minutes in the pose to have a deeper effect, beyond the physical form.
A few moments from our recent workshop “Understanding Anxiety Through Yoga.”
Through discussion and practice, students were introduced to asana sequencing, techniques of breathwork and the theory behind it, that can help during phases of anxiety and stress.
At Shriyog, our intention is to create spaces where yoga can be understood not only as a physical practice, but as a meaningful support for everyday life. It was heartening to see students engage so thoughtfully with the subject and share their own experiences.
Anxiety is not only experienced in the mind but it’s also felt in the breath, the body and the nervous system.
In yoga, we learn to observe these patterns and work with them through breath, movement and awareness. With the right practices, yoga can help bring steadiness and support balance during periods of anxiety.
In response to concerns shared by many students, we are organising a 90-minute workshop on “Understanding Anxiety Through Yoga”, conducted by Rajeshree.
If this resonates with you, we invite you to join us.
