DREAM ! but dream what you believe you can do for yourself. Neither a dependent dream nor an inter-dependent dream. Dream but just an independent dream . If it happens, Dream again ! If it fails, there is no one to blame. Instead we learn why it failed,  And how to Dream again.  -Manal Aquil

Learning anything requires an effort but unlearning what we have learned requires much more effort since it indulges psychological attachment to the effort put in earlier and only after un-conditioning of a conditioned mind, it finally transcends to have 3 dimensional and unbiased view. -Manal Aquil

There is no end to growth but the best kind of growth is when the roots are intact like a tree, so when the storm comes tree must withstand. -Manal Aquil

  The journey of becoming a YOGA teacher have started with completion of  200 YTT teacher training course conducted on weekends by studio Yogashayan. I have learned mixed styles which includes Ashtanga Vinyasa primary series, Hatha and Sivananda style.

Natarajasana, Lord of the dance pose or dancer pose is a standing, balancing, back-bending asana in modern yoga as exercise. It is derived from a pose in the classical Indian dance form Bharatnatyam.

  Starting from sitting in Dandasana, one knee is bent, keeping the knee on the floor, so the foot is just in front of the groin, and the other leg is taken straight back. For the completed pose bend the knee of the rear leg, and grasp the foot or ankle with one or both hands.

  Hatha Yoga practice means the stubborn practice of yoga, without the interference of the five senses and the mind. Generally, people think of Hatha Yoga only as asana practice. But it is the austere practice of asana, pranayama, dharana, and dhyana to achieve the sublime state of samadhi. In samadhi the yogi becomes free from the illusion of form, time, and space. Asana is just one of the six practices in this path. Hatha Yoga originates from Raja Yoga. It is the simpler version (without Yamas and Niyamas). In simple words, you can say all the yoga poses and pranayama exercises can be classified as Hatha Yoga. So if you practice any yoga asanas or pranayama exercises you are practicing Hatha.
