Oh this is fascinating. What part of that Sutra indicates "...erect spine and head is on the top, not at the bottom".

It is indeed more difficult to attain "sthira sukham asanam" in shirsana than in a seated asana like padmasana (which is also not easy!). However there is no fundamental reason, other than the skill level of the practioner, why one asana affords meditation and another does not.


===> NO dear Qusai: sthirasukhamaasanam in general means steady and comfortable sitting posture with erect spine and head is on the top, not at the bottom. It is NOT due to skill level only, but it is supposed to be so.

You may find study of the Five Vayus interesting. I do not have them on my web site. Nor are they for sale. Nor will I tell you where to find them. If it's for you to learn, you will.

Hello
Let’s open a discussion about the “qualities” of asanas. While staying still in the asanas, (like we do in the Iyengar way) one can more easily concentrate on those “qualities” and I find this most important !

Had also tried to read about Ayurveda in the past, but it seemed difficult to me then,

Kristi, I have trouble grasping some new concepts also, and just keep reading and rereading things. I find that each time I understand a bit more, and so it's usually worth the struggle. Even if I have to put something to the side for a bit, and go back to it later, it's usually not not that I can't understand it, it's more I can't understand it all right now. Shelly
