Q

Pratikriyasana

A

‘Against’ ‘action’

Counterpose- which can be preparatory or supplementary and works to neutralise tension through prevention or subsequent release.

Sequences of asanas should be similar, not opposite, whilst being attentive to releasing accumulated tension.

Rather than working asana by asana, take a broader view of the class as a progression of smaller sequences and consider where neutralising and opposing asanas will help to integrate the whole practice.
