Ashtanga Yoga - The Primary And Intermediate Series
...d to as Nadi Shodhana, or the cleansing of the Nadies. Nadies are the subtle energy channels, which underlie the physical form. The postures of the Intermediate series include a series of back bends as well as arm balances and inversions. The Intermediate series is energizing and deeply purifying.
After many years of practicing the Primary and Intermediate series, the postures of these series are integrated deeply into the body. The body becomes light and strong. An even muscle tone is developed throughout the body and the organs are strengthened and purified. Once the practice of these two series is mastered then the practice of the advanced series of postures is begun. The advanced Series is referred to as Sthira Bhaga or the stabilizing of radiance.

...ap of a person who wants, it is taken for granted and quickly squandered. The saying, Easy come, easy go, can become a lifestyle.
Envisioning is completely different from wanting. Envisioning allows a person to take a concerted effort toward a goal and achieve it.
