Asana Kitchen Discussion Room: Giving Up In Kapotasana
Yes, interesting discussion, I wonder if this edge of yoga we walk through can be a metaphore too, something we take off the mat, so for example, kapotasana being a very intense back bend can remind us of spaces in our daily life where we really need to bend over backwards, where we are very uncomfortable, and learning to breath in the pose might help us to breath in those moments too.
