exploring qualities of the root chakra (the lowest part of the spine)

In this sequence we explore some qualities of the root chakra, which is located at the lowest part of the spine.
One characteristic is that a gentle dynamic (for example into the leg or the spine) can develop out of a centering towards the lowest part of the spine. The body can find into an uprightness but actually recedes at the same time.
Another aspect is that we focus on the idea and inner feeling we want to express. The body is seen as an instrument and refinded in that process. We don`t just give in to the „moods“ of the body. A clarity in the decision can overcome the weight of the body without the need to be forceful in any way.
If we work like that the nervous system can calm down and is strengthened at the same time.
The sequence includes the sun salutations, the standing splits in different variations, the fish, the sitting head to knee pose, the inclined plane, a variation of the half moon as a preparatory exercice fot the splits, a variation of the sitting twist, the „asana of chearfulness“.
