Ekpadasana on the beach,

My experience with Ekpadasana on the Beach.

Ek-pad-asana:

This Asana is One leg (sthiram-sukham) standing posture. Standing on leg with hands raised up in namaste position helped me achieve a balanced and steady mind. It helped me to maintain an equipoised state of mind and further enhanced my physical balance.

The sound produced by ocean waves on the beach contributed to strengthening and healing of my brain. The noise absorbed while closing eyes & coldness under my feet engaged my senses to feel a soothing effect overall.

Sand below water provided me extra strengthening to arches, ankles and leg muscles. My feet were going through full range of motions. While standing on my feet over the sand, my muscles had to apply extra efforts to remain in same position on one leg.

Finally inhaling deeply and being in the present lead me to achieve this posture perfectly. It always keeps your mind in present moment and help you to feel the sense of eternity in the moment, being more lively, joyous and in the happy state of mind.

Ekpadasana provides you endurance, alertness and vitality. Neuromuscular coordination and concentration of mind, together leads to steadiness in physical and mental posture and form balanced attitude with more focus to face any challenging situations in life.
