52. How find perfect alignment in every yoga pose

In this episode, we explore the idea of perfect alignment through yoga philosophy, body awareness and modern understanding of movement.Inspired by conversations that regularly arise during our 200-hour yoga teacher training, this episode looks at why the “perfect pose” probably doesn’t exist - and what matters more instead.Drawing on the Yoga Sutras, we explore the idea that asana should feel both steady and easeful, and how approaching practice in this way may support greater awareness, less unnecessary tension and a more compassionate relationship with movement.We also explore:why alignment looks different in different bodiesthe difference between tension and stabilityinteroception and recognising stress signals earlierwhy mindful movement may help regulate the nervous systemhow yoga can become less about performance and more about awarenessThis episode is for yoga teachers, trainees and anyone who has ever worried they might be “doing yoga wrong”.---👋 work with me💛 1:1 therapeutic yogaPersonalised support for anxiety, sleep issues, stress or back pain.
