Yoga for Vata – gentle movement for the king dosha
The spring vibes strongly stir our bioenergies. Responsible for this is Vata, the king dosha. With a lot of power and strength, it awakens nature and also gets our biorhythm going: the trees sprout leaves, animals awaken from hibernation, and we approach our daily tasks with new energy. All these processes require a lot of strength and can really push the bioenergetic balance to its limits.
Strong energy quickly turns into stress, inner restlessness, and agitation. Therefore, it is all the more important now to bring Vata back to normal with routines, healthy nutrition, and enough sleep. Especially yoga for Vata is a good way to balance the king dosha again.
Yoga for Vata for inner peace
Do you often feel rushed? Can’t you unwind in the evening? Are you lacking energy for the day in the morning, but your mind is already spinning? Then you should try to regain your inner balance with Yoga for Vata. We have three exercises for you that will help you:
The grounding seat – Sukhsana
Sit in a relaxed cross-legged position on your yoga mat. Focus consciously on your spine. Make sure it straightens more with each inhalation. Let your shoulders drop with each exhalation. Form the Chin Mudra sign with your hands: touch your thumbs to your index fingers to create a circle. Rest the backs of your hands on your thighs and close your eyes. Try to breathe in and out more calmly and deeply with each breath. Focus your thoughts on yourself and your heartbeat, which becomes calmer and calmer.
Twisted easy pose – Parivrtta Sukhsana
You can easily take the next pose from the grounding seat. Place your right fingertips behind your buttocks on the yoga mat. Take a deep breath and straighten your spine. Simultaneously turn gently to the right. Place your right hand on the right knee. Look over your right shoulder and feel a gentle stretch in your midsection.
Cat – Cow: Chakravakasana
This exercise or asana starts in the tabletop position on the yoga mat. Look straight ahead. Round your back as you exhale and lower your head – you're doing a cat arch. Now inhale deeply and pull your belly button towards the floor as you raise your chin. Your posture now resembles a cow. Flow in the rhythm of your breath from one movement to the other and consciously feel the energies in your back.
All exercises help you to release the root chakra and energy blockages that are so important for Vata. In addition, muscle strands are relaxed, which loosens the back. Through calm movements, the mind comes to rest and you can fully focus on the here and now.
