Yoga is not only about the physical body. Our body is divided into the mental body and the physical body. Yoga is a practice that makes our physical body strong, and it is mainly about the muscular growth of our body. But Yoga is also a practice that benefits both the mind and the body. The different styles of Yoga combine physical postures, breathing techniques, and meditation or relaxation. It helps to improve our overall health and happiness. So, we've tried to compile a list of yoga postures that can help you achieve overall well-being based on your zodiac signs. Check it out to make the most of the International Yoga Day in 2024:
Aries: Navasana (Boat Pose) : Aries is a fire sign, and therefore, they are considered to be a fireball of energy - physical, emotional, and sexual. This energy can sometimes be extremely overwhelming. The Navasana or Boat Pose impacts the Solar Plexus and can match the level of intensity of this sign. It also strengthens the core, which helps this sign to balance its fiery blaze with beauty and grace on this International Yoga day.
Taurus: Vrksasana (Tree Pose) : The zodiac sign of Taurus is an earth element. Due to this, it needs a lot of grounding and healing. The Vrikshasana or Tree Pose is a yoga posture that is meant to inspire patience. It also gives an overall sense of balance and fortitude. Thus, the Vrikshasana posture is ideal as it will help Taureans feel rooted, comforted, and relaxed on this Yoga day in India.
Gemini: Garudasana (Eagle Pose) :Geminis are an air element. They are known to possess a unique ability to jump between social circles, exciting experiences, and they are full of curiosity. The Garudasana or Eagle Pose is known to help in holding their interest while offering the benefits of stability during the Yoga day celebration. This way, it will help you channel your physical and mental energies in a constructive direction.
Cancer: Balasana (Child's Pose) : We know that the Cancerians is a water element, and they are popular for their need for space. The Balasana or Child Pose can help you to relax as it is soothing as well as comforting, on this Yoga day. Whenever you feel overwhelmed during the day due to the pressures of everyday life, it's best to do this yoga posture and calm yourself down, welcoming peace and serenity into your life.
Leo: Salamba Bhujangasana (Sphinx Pose) : The king of the zodiac group, Leos, is a Fire Element. This is why they are full of energy and passion. They are larger than life; however, a simple backbend is an ideal pose to help Leos restore their energies. It is also great to practice Simha Mudra, i.e., Lion's Breath, on Yoga day date. The Sphinx pose offers relaxation to the lumbar spine and reproductive organs (the creative center of the body). At the same time, it opens up the heart (the intention center) to lead with love, just like a true Leo would.
Virgo: Utkata Konasana (Goddess Pose) : TheVirgosare an Earth Element. It is for this reason they are so detail-oriented and are known to vibe with nature. This is why a Goddess pose helps you to stay grounded, patient, loving, and powerful on Yoga day. It will also help you to stay responsible and be meticulously attentive to others without draining yourself.
Libra: Ardha Chandrasana (Half Moon Pose) : TheLibra sign is an air element. This sign is the king of balance. By doing the Half Moon pose or the Ardha Chandrasana, you can use your balancing powers to offset all the things that are beyond your control. All balancing poses are perfect for the Libras on happy Yoga day, but the Half Moon pose is more effective because it is gravity-defying and helps you in expanding in every direction while opening your heart!
Scorpio: Shalabhasana (Locust Pose) : Since the Scorpio sign is a water element, it is known to be quiet and unassuming yet incredibly focused and intense. The Locust pose is a strong and vigorous pose that is designed to strengthen the spine, the tailbone, the pelvic floor, the core muscles as well as the legs for you on International Yoga day. It is also popular for activating every muscle in the body to support the pose.
Sagittarius: Viparita Virabhadrasana II (Reverse Warrior II) : The Sagittarius sign is a fire element. Known as the archer, this sign looks like it is aiming its arrow towards hopes, dreams, joy, optimism, and devotion. Hence, the Reverse Warrior is the perfect pose for this zodiac sign on this Yoga day. The benefits of the Warrior Pose are its grounding effects and focus, which is exactly what you need to keep your eyes on your goals.
Capricorn: Tadasana (Mountain Pose): The Capricorn zodiac sign is an earth element. They draw their energy from nature, but they can easily burn out if they do not commit to a steady pace. The Mountain Pose seems quite simple; however, in reality, it is indeed complex since it is the foundation of every other yoga pose. On National Yoga Day, practicing to hold a strong Mountain Pose on a regular basis can help this sign to establish a sense of grounding and fortitude.
Aquarius: Urdhva Dhanurasana (Upward-Facing Wheel) :Aquarius sign is an air element, and they are the most ingenious, inspirational, and imaginative people among all the zodiac signs. They are always eager to create a new design, solution, or even a revolution. So, on Yoga day in India, the Upward Facing Wheel pose is perfect for them. It is a heart-opening, energizing pose that will give you the boost you need to keep dreaming, inspiring, and creating a better world.
Pisces: Matsyasana (Fish Pose): The Pisces sign is a water element. Its symbol is depicted by two fishes swimming in opposite directions, blending the spiritual and the material worlds into one. The Fish pose is the most natural choice for this spiritual sign during Yoga day celebration. The feelings of this sign are so deep and intense that the Fish Pose will help to open your heart and throat, the spaces of intention and truth, and it will help balance those emotions physically too.
