"Much like a lotus flower, Lotus Pose invites the body to find stillness and only truly bloom when ready. Patience and contentment must be practiced along the way if you are to truly embody the power of the pose. Lotus pose is a great posture to work towards when practicing contentment because there are many stops along the journey that help you get closer and closer to the full expression of the pose."
"In this week's class sequence, we'll practice asanas that support and open the hips, stretch the inner thighs and ankles and allow you to maintain the integrity of your seat through balance, stillness and acceptance- all through the lens of contentment (Santosha).

Padmasana (Lotus Pose) cultivates stillness, an upright spine, an open heart, and a steady balanced seat that fosters grounding. The posture unfolds gradually like a lotus flower and requires patience and contentment (santosha) while progressing toward fuller expression. Preparatory work focuses on opening the hips, stretching inner thighs and ankles, and practicing balance, stillness, and acceptance to maintain seat integrity. A thoughtful sequence of seated, standing, balance, and twisting asanas supports safe progression. Attention to where the body feels content and trusting when to yield or persist deepens embodied practice.
