Everything you need to know is held inside of you

Bandhas are energy locks that influence internal energy flow; interlocking and interconnecting internal systems and energy channels. There are 72,000 energy channels or Nadis in the body. Where several Nadis form a junction a wheel of energy is formed called a Chakra. There are 8 main Chakras located along the length of the spine to the top of the head. Mula Bandha stimulates the energy of the Muladhara Chakra, located at the base of the coccyx.

Q & A with Anthony Ashworth

Anthony answers questions on the vedic science of Vastu Shastra.

From my personal experience I found the symptoms of menopause were mild and manageable. I had been practicing Yoga regularly for 10 years before reaching this time of life and was fully established in the practise of asanas, pranayama and meditation. I understand that I was the fortunate one and there is real suffering for many women at this time including bouts of depression, hot flushes, fatigue, night sweats and anxiety. Your yoga practice during menopause is an empowering life tool for you to focus on the positive to manage and control menopausal symptoms. Think of your symptoms as a burning of old energies to make way for the new, a tapas, an inner purification process.
