(Intermediate Level) The yoga tradition defines five organs of action, known as Karmendriyas in Sanskrit. The Feet are the organs of locomotion; through them we locate ourselves in the world. This lesson will refine your awareness of the physical organ, as well as the aspects of consciousness that underlie its actions. Starting with self-massage and a physical exploration of the Feet, the practice continues with an application of the Feet in select asana, and concludes with a guided relaxation and an invitation to explore the subtle nature behind this organ of action.
Asana presented in this teacher-and-student video include: Tadasana (Mountain Pose), Anjaneyasana (Low Lunge), Vrksasana (Tree Pose), Vajrasana (Thunderbolt Pose), and Savasana (Corpse Pose).
