anago sushi=mayurasana




so i have been chuckling about this image for a week. i taught this pose, mayurasana-peacock pose-well, i like to call it "man" pose because men are naturally better at it-to a teacher at tokyo-yoga. miyuki said she felt like anago sushi in the posture because the eel is floppy & there is a ball of sticky rice placed off center. after thinking this through, i realized the image was totally perfect! the rice, weighing down the front of the body, makes a lot of sense.

of course that image could only come from japan.
