🌿 Herbs & Asanas: A Holistic Duo for Mind-Body Wellness - By SD HERBS

 

In the gentle harmony of breath and movement, yoga leads us back to our inner selves. As we stretch, bend, and center our minds, nature offers us another ally in this inner journey—herbs. At SD Herbs, we believe in harmonizing the


practice of yoga with the healing power of herbs grown in the rich soil of Malwa. Together, they form a timeless bond rooted in ancient Indian wisdom.

🧘‍♀️ Why Pair Herbs with Yoga?

Yoga aligns the body, mind, and spirit. Herbs enhance this harmony by supporting the physiological syste
ms that yoga touches—nervous, digestive, immune, and hormonal. Whether you're a beginner on the mat or a lifelong yogi, specific herbs can enhance your experience, support recovery, and deepen your awareness.


🌿 5 Herb & Āsana Pairings for Holistic Practice

1. Ashwagandha + Vṛkṣāsana (Tree Pose)

Grounding for stress & strength
Ashwagandha, often called the 'strength of the stallion,' is a potent adaptogen that helps the nervous system adapt to stress and maintain balance. Paired with Tree Pose, it helps anchor you, bringing balance and mental clarity.

🫖 SD Tip: Sip Ashwagandha tea or take extract before your practice to steady your mind.


2. Tulsi + Pranayama (Breathwork)

Purifying for lungs & spirit
Tulsi (Holy Basil) purifies the body and uplifts the spirit. When used before pranayama, it opens the respiratory system and clears mental fog.

🫖 SD Tip: Inhale Tulsi-infused steam or enjoy a warm decoction post-practice.


3. Shatavari + Supta Baddha Koṇāsana (Reclining Bound Angle)

Soothing for women’s wellness
Shatavari, the “queen of herbs,” supports hormonal balance and inner cooling. This gentle restorative pose enhances relaxation, especially beneficial during menstruation or menopause.

🫖 SD Tip: Combine with Shatavari capsules or ghee for deeper nourishment.


4. Triphala + Ardha Matsyendrasana (Half Lord of the Fishes Twist)

Detoxifying for digestion & circulation
Triphala tones and detoxifies the gut. When paired with twisting poses, it aids elimination and clears the body’s internal pathways.

🫖 SD Tip: Take Triphala at night for a fresh, light start to your morning yoga.


5. Brahmi + Savasana (Corpse Pose)

Calming for mind & memory
Brahmi enhances memory, focus, and deep rest. While resting in Savasana, Brahmi’s calming energy helps reset your nervous system.
🫖 SD Tip: Try a soothing head massage with Brahmi oil after your practice or enjoy a gentle Brahmi tea.
