Ashtanga yoga means 8 limbs,the 5th limb pratyahara,teaches us to turn inward withdraw from the senses.pratyahara helps quiet the mind,this requires discipline its not always easy to get quiet and examine our habits.When we do,we allow ourselves the opportunity to gain awareness and self knowledge.If we learn to skilfully listen through quiet practice,we can find our inner most voice and express it to the world-live your life with empowerment and purpose. Marichyasana B is a great pose for invoking the state of pratyahara-combining the containment of a bind with the surrender of a forward fold inviting a sense of stillness and quiet.
