Did you know that your skeletal structure consists of 206 bones that serve as a protection for your vital organs and carries bodily movements in interaction with your muscles? Maybe you knew that in biology class, but to you think about it every day as you move about? Yoga www.gobodhiyoga.com gives us an opportunity to really think about what is making our bodies do the things they do. Sitting, standing, bending and going from one position to another would be impossible without this structural inner foundation of the body called skeleton.
Long bones, short bones, flat bones and irregular bones all work together to move us and to support the poses we do. We could never hold a down dog or even a forward fold without the support of our long bones. The broad surfaces of our flat bones protect our organs and and help give us form. Without the small vertebra of our back we would crumple. Yoga and everyday life are supported by our strong and sturdy skeleton. Aren't we glad?
