A grounding hatha practice governed by Rahu, activating the Root (Muladhara) through structural stability, patience, systematic strength building.
ನಿಮ್ಮ ಯೋಗ ವ್ಯಕ್ತಿತ್ವ
Life Path 4 carries Rahu's energy: unconventional beneath a structured exterior, driven to build lasting foundations. On the mat, this creates a methodical practitioner who values alignment and progression. You build strength slowly and permanently. Your challenge is flexibility: both physical and in allowing change.

5 poses sequenced for Life Path 4 energy.
Mountain Pose
Tadasana
Stand with feet hip-width, weight evenly distributed. Engage legs, lengthen spine, arms at sides with palms forward. Root through all four corners of each foot.
The foundational pose for the foundational number. Teaches stillness and structural awareness.
Tree Pose
Vrksasana
Shift weight to one foot, place opposite sole on inner thigh or calf. Hands at heart center or overhead. Fix gaze on a steady point.
Roots must go deep before branches can spread. Teaches Life Path 4 that stability enables growth.
Warrior II
Virabhadrasana II
Wide stance, front foot forward, back foot perpendicular. Bend front knee over ankle. Arms extended, gaze over front hand.
The builder's stance: wide, stable, patient. Strengthens the framework of the body.
Bridge Pose
Setu Bandhasana
Lie back, feet flat, knees bent. Press feet into floor, lift hips. Interlace hands beneath you. Roll shoulders under.
Builds the structural bridge between earth and sky, mirroring Life Path 4's role as connector.
Garland Pose
Malasana
Stand with feet wider than hips, toes turned out. Squat deeply, elbows pressing knees apart, palms together at heart.

15 minutesSit cross-legged on the floor. Visualize roots growing from the base of your spine deep into the earth. With each breath, the roots reach deeper, drawing stability and nourishment upward.
