🌿 Gentle Healing Yoga – This Week’s Focus: Pawanmuktasana Group 1 🌿
This week we begin our journey through Pawanmuktasana Group 1 – the Anti-Rheumatic Series, a foundational sequence from the Bihar School of Yoga.
Although these movements appear simple, they are among the most profound practices in yoga. Pawanmuktasana Group 1 gently mobilises every joint in the body—from the toes and ankles to the knees, hips, fingers, wrists, elbows and shoulders—helping to release stiffness, improve circulation, lubricate the joints, and encourage the free flow of prana, our vital life force.
The beauty of this practice lies not in the movement alone, but in how we move. In this series, pranayama begins with the very first movement. Each action is consciously linked with a slow, mindful breath, transforming the practice into a moving meditation. As breath and movement become one, the mind begins to settle, the nervous system softens, and we cultivate a deeper awareness of the body from within.
Pawanmuktasana Group 1 is especially beneficial for those living with stress, fatigue, joint stiffness, arthritis, chronic tension, or anyone seeking a gentle and accessible way to reconnect with their body. It also prepares the body for a deeper yoga practice by removing energetic and physical blockages and creating a sense of ease throughout the whole system.
This practice reminds us that healing doesn’t have to be forceful. Sometimes the greatest transformation comes from slowing down, breathing consciously, and giving ourselves permission to move with kindness and compassion.
Suitable for all levels, including complete beginners, this class offers a safe and nurturing space to honour your body exactly as it is.
We’ll complete our practice with a deeply restorative Yoga Nidra, allowing the healing effects of the practice to settle into body, mind, and breath.
Come as you are, move mindfully, breathe deeply, and experience the quiet power of gentle healing. 🌿💚🙏
