🦂 In B.K.S. Iyengar’s “Light on Yoga,” Scorpion Pose (Vrschikasana) is described as an advanced posture symbolizing the yogi’s effort to overcome destructive emotions and ego. This posture signifies the yogi’s attempt to eradicate negative emotions such as pride, anger, and jealousy, which are considered more harmful than a scorpion’s venom. By metaphorically ‘stamping on his head with his feet,’ the yogi aims to subdue the ego, leading to humility and inner peace. ❤️‍🔥 Iyengar emphasizes mastering such challenging poses requires dedication and self-discipline, reflecting the broader yogic journey toward self-awareness and inner peace. 🙏🏽 Thank you noah._.alvarado and _yangyogi for sharing your practice in this beautiful moment! #scorpion #scorpionpose #vrischikasana #sunlotusyoga #josephencinia #yogisofinstagram #hathayoga #yogachampion #yogaeveryblessedday #yogiclife #yogateacher #yogaforall #asana #onlineyogaclasses #yogaonline #bksiyengarquotes
