March 2023 Archive — Yoga Insights India

There were no new posts added to Yoga Insights India in March 2023. If you expected fresh articles that month, you’re not alone — sometimes the calendar clears while we work on better guides, interviews, or retreat listings behind the scenes.

Where to look next

If you landed here looking for something specific, try these quick moves: search by category (Beginner Yoga, Pranayama, Retreats), check recent months for similar topics, or use the site search for a pose, guru, or destination name. If you want a guided path, focus on a category: pick one short series like "10-minute morning routines" or "breathing practices for calm" and follow it for a week.

Want clarity fast? Ask yourself what you need right now — better sleep, more energy, or travel-ready practice — then scan the site for that exact goal. Narrowing the goal saves time and gets you useful results even if a given month had no posts.

A simple 10-minute practice you can do now

Don't wait for new posts to keep practicing. Here’s a short, practical sequence you can use today. It requires no equipment and fits most mornings or breaks.

1) Breathing warm-up (1 minute): Sit tall, close your eyes, inhale for 4 counts, exhale for 6 counts. Repeat 6 times. This calms the mind and wakes the diaphragm.

2) Cat–Cow (1 minute): On hands and knees, inhale to drop the belly and lift the chest (Cow), exhale to round the spine (Cat). Move with your breath for 8–10 cycles to release the lower back.

3) Downward Dog (1 minute): From hands and knees, tuck toes and lift hips. Pedal the feet gently to stretch calves and hamstrings. Keep shoulders active, breathe steadily.

4) Standing Sun Salutation variation (4 minutes): From Downward Dog step forward, inhale to a half-lift, exhale fold, inhale sweep arms up and reach, exhale hands to heart and fold. Repeat slowly for 4 rounds, matching breath to movement.

5) Seated twist and short meditation (3 minutes): Sit cross-legged, inhale to lengthen, exhale to twist right for 5 breaths, then left. Finish with 1 minute of soft breathing, noticing the body and the breath.

This routine keeps momentum while you explore the archive. It’s short, practical, and easy to repeat daily.
