Mayank – though I have never attended your yoga classes, I find your posts interesting……and actually had never imagined that there is a legend or a story associated with each asana. Good stuff – keep it going!

Mayank, you are so passionate about Yoga and you have a unique way of engaging us with the practise by constantly sharing knowledge. I am glad to be back attending your classes after a break!

Thanks Meenakshi. Another interesting similarity between Meru and our spine is that Meru is the abode for 33 Devas and similarly we have 33 vertebrae along our spinal column!

And if the modern day stresses and pressures are today's Vayu then our yoga practise, which helps develop forbearance and equanimity, can become our very own Garuda and protect us against the vagaries of life.

Mayank, will remember this legend when we practice this Aasana in class. Also, what appealed most to me was that we have the Mt Meru within us.. Our spine..so true. It is the centre of our existence / body and it does bear the brunt of the vayu in the form of modern day ailments like stress / fatigue.

We do these asanas in the class without knowing the myths/ fundamental basis behind them. This write-up was v interesting and made for an incredible read ! Thanks, Mayank 🙂
