Q: In August, I find that my body tends to accumulate more heat and stagnation from the summer months, leading to burnout. Which asanas do you recommend for releasing accumulated heat and promoting emotional clarity during this seasonal change? How can these asanas support spiritual growth and keep our energy grounded?

A – To release heat and stagnation, cooling asanas such as Forward Fold (Paschimottanasana), Supported Fish Pose (Matsyasana), and Shoulder Bridge (Setu Bandhasana) are helpful. These poses calm the nervous system and reduce excess pitta energy. Restorative postures like Child’s Pose (Balasana) also support emotional clarity. Beyond physical balance, these asanas prepare the body for spiritual growth by encouraging stillness and inner awareness.
