An April 2025 challenge
IUGA in Full Bloom was an April 2025 challenge, from 26th to 30th. Asanas include Bound Angle Pose (Baddha Konasana), Lotus pose (Padmasana), Bird of Paradise (Svarga Dvijasana) and Tree pose (Vrksasana).
Tree Pose (Vrikshasana) – I Root down to Rise up – Symbolism: Like a tree coming back to life in spring, we reconnect to our roots while reaching for new potential.
Lizard Pose (Utthan Pristhasana) – Awakening the Earth – Symbolism: The lizard, low to the ground, represents awakening and primal connection to the earth’s energy.
Butterfly Pose (Baddha Konasana) – Transformation, Growth & Softening – Symbolism: Just like the butterfly emerges from its cocoon, we open the hips and the heart to transformation.
Lotus Pose (Padmasana) – Blooming in Stillness – Symbolism: The lotus grows from muddy water, blossoming in full beauty, a reminder that growth comes from stillness and struggle.
Bird of Paradise / Flamingo / Crow / Eagle Pose – Taking Flight with confidence – Symbolism: These bird poses symbolize freedom, grace, and the fullness of spring’s energy! Spreading wings, taking risks, and flying high.
