The spine is concerned with the energy flow, and the chest with the breath, that’s why these two areas are always involved in the Yoga practice, when the act of breathing and movement become one the integration begins.

The first thing to attend it’s your posture. Your chest should be free to expand unlimitedly when you breathe, and your spine should be stretched out and relax to allow the energy flow through your body.

In the first Limb of Patanjali’s Yoga Sustras, Yamas, restrictions, “not to do”, we can find Ahimsa. This term means, Not Violence, not only with the others, also with us. This also can be translated, as the universal laws of all of “love you”. When you apply this law aggressiveness, violence, with yourself or others stops.

“Do your 100%. Listen to your body. You have the first fit back from your body. Stop when you need to stop. Modify the posture if you need to. Remember you don’t need to do it all. There is not such thing as a perfect posture. You just need to do it.
