The sutra sthiram sukham is criteria for how asana should be and done.
Any position can be called asana if it is-
Sthiram- stable, still and yet relaxed
Sukham- done with ease and happiness

Pankaj Soni Yes, it is a lower gluten variety. Jackfruit flour is a great choice for people with diabetes. The only thing is the digestibility. So you can start mixing in smaller portions to regular flour to check.

Meenu Preethi Balaji
how is Sharbati Wheat from madhya pradesh, is it low gluten?
also i read, that mixing green jackfruit flour helps reduce its sugar level in one of ted talks. is it true?

Anirudh Thank you! Yes, you can eat these foods less often. But if wheat is a staple, try low-gluten varieties like Khapli, which is also called Emmer. Try sourdough bread instead of regular bread. They are easier to digest.

Meenu Preethi Balaji Great post! Yes, I have surely felt this shift. Especially with Pizza’s and Paratha’s. Is there anything we can do to not feel this way or is it best to avoid these foods?

“I used to eat pasta, pizza, and parathas without a problem… now they leave me bloated, foggy, and exhausted. What changed?”
The answer: Our food did.

Modern wheat isn’t the same as your grandma’s.
It’s been bred to be fluffier, stretchier, and “better” for baking—but not better for your gut.

🧪Plus, there’s glyphosate (a chemical used to speed up harvesting) that may be messing with your gut bacteria.
And let’s be real—our microbiomes are already struggling thanks to stress, antibiotics, and ultra-processed everything.

So if you’re reacting to gluten today when you didn’t 10 years ago…
You’re not imagining it.
It’s not a trend. It’s a modern gut-health issue.

Have you felt this shift too?

Anirudh Universal self is the source of this Individual self. Yoga philosophy says that our existence is beyond this body-mind. So the universal self is father to this individual self/soul. It is like drop in ocean, drop also has same quality as ocean.

Please read this story, it’s really inspiring and share yours as it will inspire a lot more of us!

Hi Everyone!

Here’a another powerful transformation story from our community:

At 56, Gautam, from San Mateo, California, was active but struggling with the effects of a desk job: poor posture, stiff shoulders, back pain, and tight hamstrings. Plus, despite his workouts, his blood pressure was rising.

My job requires me to spend long hours sitting at a desk," Gautam shared. "As a result, my posture was quite poor, and my shoulders were very stiff.”

Gautam’s Transformation:
Pre-Yoga: Desk job aches, poor posture, hypertension, post-workout pain.
The Solution: Personalized yoga with Anupamaa, focusing on specific needs.
The Results: Improved posture, flexibility, pain-free living, normalized blood pressure, and enhanced strength training recovery.

I’ve noticed significant improvements in my posture and flexibility," Gautam shared.

“My recovery time after strength training has decreased significantly, and I have a greater range of motion.”

And get this: he can now hold a headstand for over two minutes!

Gautam’s journey is a powerful reminder of the impact personalized yoga can have on your life.

Anupamaa Deshpandey Thanks for sharing this story and the work you have put in is commendable

Thanks for sharing Ram

Can you please explain the concept of universal self?

Yoga is derived from root word Yuj, which means three things.

1. State of absorption (with consciousness)
2. State of connection (Individual and Universal self)
3. Censuring of thoughts waves
   Om.
