Anga bhanga: choosing the yoga practice that's best for you
Does your practice bring you balance? Anga bhanga sadhana means a practice that is useful in one way for our systems, or in one context, but harmful in another. It can also refer to a practice that seems beneficial in the short term, but increases imbalance in the long term.
A great tip I learned from Mental Health Aware teacher training and trauma sensitive training is to start where you are.
In other words, start with something that matches the current energy intensity in your system, and gradually move into more balancing practices. That’s why my short practices for busy people often start with some movement before leading to stillness.
