“Datsuryoku” is the process of releasing the tension of the mind and body.

After you release tension, you do Tanden Hosu work. “Tanden” is the point below your fingers and four fingers.

This Tanden is regarded as the center of the body in oriental philosophy.

Oriental people have been thinking since ancient times that life energy sleeping in this place has a big impact on life.

In Japan, samurai, monks and artists have trained Tanden to investigate their own way.

You can get your own real axis by activating this part Hosu ​​is a word meaning holding chicks.

8th Lesson: Herb Yoga Asana

Chakra Cleansing

Chakra shows seven points originated in Indian Yoga / Ayurveda.

In the oriental body perspective, it is said that our life energy (Qi = Prana) is entering and leaving from this chakra.

The state of this chakra is greatly influenced by our state of mind, body and relationship.

Chakra cleansing is a very simple method of applying herb balls to each chakra.

However, it is very effective and very comfortable asana. Let’s take away your chakra’s through the herb ball.
