From the latest blogpost by Gabe:
There are two directions of energetic flow in the yoga system; one which moves energy from the inside out and one which directs energy inward. The outward current is called vama. It’s an extroversive movement which helps us to engage with the world. Through our sensory experiences, our command center, also known as the nervous system, guides us in our personal interactions.
The inward flow of energy, called the jyestra helps us to take our attention inside. This is such a valuable skill that we learn through the yogic arts. The importance of tuning inward cannot be overstated. This is how we learn our habit patterns, thought-tendencies and desires of the heart. Through quieter internal practices, we can grow as humans and yogis. In this post, I will outline 3 practices that I think are integral to riding the jyestra wave more internally.
