In India, the cobra asana has existed for thousands of years. What does it mean to re-enact this ancient symbol, and what knowledge is revealed as its sinewy path moves through our awakened consciousness? The key to the Cobra asana is in its preparation; the asana is the end result of entering an ancient world from which all spiritual life sprang forth. Ultimately the asana becomes a teaching— a transmission. Its power lies in its universality. Our preparation is to bring ourselves into a resonance of ancient recall, through breath, our sound, and through the movement of our spiraling primordial origins that have woven what we call our bodies.
