Kurmasana, or Turtle Pose, embodies the qualities of the turtle and the essence of the Kurma avatar, a reincarnation of Lord Vishnu.
In this asana, the practitioner mimics a turtle withdrawing into its shell, symbolizing a retreat into oneself, away from external distractions. This inward focus is essential for deep meditation and self-realization.
The pose encourages stillness, introspection, and a connection with one’s inner being, much like the turtle’s ability to withdraw and find peace within its protective shell. It represents stability, perseverance, and the ability to remain calm and composed amidst life’s challenges
