It’s been about a year…
Tendonitis in my left shoulder brought my arm balance practice to a frustrating standstill. But somewhere along the way, frustration turned into patience, and patience into perseverance.

Today, I made my way back to into Bakasana.

It’s not really about the arm balance. It’s about the lesson — listening to my body, trusting the process, and having the patience to do what is required for healing .

"Yoga is not about touching your toes ~ but touching your truth. "

Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is pause. Take time out to breathe, reset, and reconnect with yourself. Slowing down, stopping, stillness ~ isn't a luxury, it's a necessity!

Benefits of Halasana (Plough Pose)
Halasana is a deeply introspective and regulating pose with both physical and energetic effects:
1. Spinal Health & Flexibility
Gently lengthens the entire spine
Helps release tension in the lower back and neck (when properly supported)

2. Nervous System Regulation
Strongly parasympathetic (calming)
Helps reduce stress, anxiety, and fatigue
Often used in restorative or yin transitions
3. Stimulates Internal Organs
Compresses and massages abdominal organs
Supports digestion and detoxification

4. Thyroid & Hormonal Support
The chin-to-chest position (Jalandhara Bandha effect) stimulates the thyroid gland
Can help regulate metabolism and energy

5. Improves Circulation
Reverses blood flow toward the upper body and brain
Can increase clarity and mental calm

6. Energetic Benefits (Yoga perspective)
Activates Vishuddha (throat chakra)
Encourages truth, surrender, and introspection

Using a sling can assist with decompression by taking weight out of the back and neck.
As the sling provides deeper support it creates less muscular strain making the posture more restorative inversion which is great for preventing injury for beginners or those with sensitive necks or tight backs and hamstrings.
