Utthita Hasta Padangushtasana is the first real balancing act in the Ashtanga ritual. It invites us to steady ourselves in the support of the back body, with the standing foot pressed deep into the soil of the earth, and the spine rising up vibrantly to lift the crown ever higher into the open expanse of the sky.
To stand with an upright spine is a noble human distinction. It marks our natural propensity to abide in two otherwise separate realms, to live on the earth but contemplate the sky, to live in these limited human bodies while knowing the infinite at the very same time.
This form of existence requires a balancing act of a most treacherous and exhilarating kind. And our charge as human beings is to hold it with full attention, with full involvement, and with an open heart and mind.
