I never thought about the connection between sthira sukham asanam and self-awareness, but it makes perfect sense! By paying attention to our body, breath, and emotions during our practice, we become more attuned to ourselves.

This article beautifully captures the essence of yoga philosophy, and how it can inform our practice on and off the mat. It really helped me understand the importance of finding balance and ease in my yoga practice. The idea of sthira and sukha has given me a new perspective on how to approach my practice, with strength and ease in equal measure. I can’t wait to apply the concepts of sthira and sukha to my next yoga class!

Although sthira sukham translates as ‘easeful effort’, it’s a bit of a misnomer. Most people associate yoga with flexibility, but sthira sukham asana is one of the best ways to develop strength – and real strength comes from getting our bodies to work hard!
