We had a request today for low back relief. One of the first suggestions yogis make about how to relieve pain is Ishvara Pranidad, translated as surrender to the cosmos. In the Christian tradition in the story of Jesus walking on water and inviting the fisherman to yoke with him to rest..as his "yoke is easy, and the burden is light" (Matthew 11.30)
So we played with easing the low back and other pain in the alignments of ease and a lightened burden.
