This morning we did a pigeon pose that was a variation from the typical pigeon asana. From a sitting posture, we went into pigeon: I held my left ankle in the crook of my left elbow and drew my right hand all the way over my head and met the fingers of my left hand. I wish I had a camera to capture my pose, but although I don't have a photograph to prove that I looked as graceful as a Bharanatyam dancer, I certainly felt beautiful. What's more, I could have stayed in that pose for a full two minutes longer!
It is wonderful when we feel like we are actually gliding through an asana and the transitions from one asana into the next. As when I went with ease through a series of balance poses: from a tree pose to warrior 3 and then on to hugging my knee (what asana is this?), all without losing my balance, before releasing into mountain pose.
We should probably call our yoga practice yoganatya or yogadance.
