Breath normally throughout the practice. Avoid long and deep breaths as the chest is already stretched during this asana and taking long, deep breaths may create discomfort in breathing.

Beginners after practicing Ustrasana may feel dizzy for a while. It may also cause nausea as well but that’s very rare. By celebrating Ustra, Bolsonaro has rekindled the horror of that period. And he can do it only because Brazil has never punished those who tortured, kidnapped and killed in the name of the state. Bolsonaro is the monstrous product of Brazilian democracy’s silence about the crimes committed by its former dictatorship. Bolsonaro embodies the grimmest forces of old and new Brazil For this election, Bolsonaro’s children and supporters have printed the torturer’s face on their T-shirts, with the phrase “Ustra lives!”.It is very important to know the right alignment of the body in an asana to avoid any kind of injury and to attain the maximum benefits of it. Here are the steps to practice Ustrasana correctly: Beneficial for curing the diseases related to the respiratory system such as Bronchitis and Asthma. Bolsonaro, “the thing”, is a retired army captain. He’s being sold as new to voters, but he’s anything but. In his 26 years as a federal lawmaker, he managed to pass only two of his proposed laws.

Keep the knees and feet together. But if one feels more comfortable with maintaining a little distance between them, they may do so. Practice 3 times, must be followed or proceeded by a forward bending asana such as Paschimottanasana (Seated Forward Bend). Precautions for Ustrasana (Camel Pose) Explaining hasn’t had any effect. Bolsonaro is less a post-truth phenomenon than a phenomenon of what I call self-truth. The content of what he says doesn’t matter: what matters is the act of saying it. Aesthetics have replaced ethics. By saying everything and anything, no matter how violent, he is labelled truthful or sincere by his voters at a time when politicians are being shunned as frauds and liars. At the same time, “truth” has become an absolute and a personal choice. The individual has been taken to a radical extreme. In a recent interview with the Brazilian media, one Ustra victim, Gilberto Natalini, described sadistic torture sessions that had played out under the watch of the man Bolsonaro considers a role model.

Join us in January!

Carlos Alberto Brilhante Ustra ( Brazilian Portuguese: [ˈkaʁluz awˈbɛʁtu bɾiˈʎɐ̃tʃi ˈustɾɐ]; 28 July 1932 – 15 October 2015) was a Brazilian army officer, politicianand known torturer who served as a colonel in the Brazilian Army. Ustra has been praised on multiple occasions by the former president of Brazil Jair Bolsonaro. On 17 April 2016, during the voting of the impeachment of Dilma Rousseff in the Chamber of Deputies, Ustra was praised by then-deputy Bolsonaro in a speech before casting his vote, calling him "the dread of Dilma Rousseff". [4] Rousseff, who was tortured at DOI-CODI, commented on Bolsonaro's tribute saying: "I was arrested in the 1970s. In fact, I knew the man he referred to well. He was one of the biggest torturers in Brazil, [...] It's terrible to see someone voting in honor of the greatest torturer Brazil has known." [4] On 8 August 2019 Bolsonaro, by then president, called him a "national hero" who "prevented Brazil from falling into what the left-wing wants today".

You can be sure that if I get there [the presidency], there’ll be no money for NGOs. If it’s up to me, every citizen will have a gun at home. Not one centimetre will be demarcated for indigenous reserves or quilombolas.” Whatever the outcome, Bolsonaro has already won: Brazil, plunged into a complex crisis, with 13 million people without jobs and poverty and child mortality rising again, goes to the ballot box without a proper debate and divided by hate. A perfect environment for “the thing” to grow and multiply and seize control. The Suffocated Truth – The Story the Left Doesn’t Want Brazil to Know, was published a year before Ustra’s death in 2015 and – according to the summary – “seek(s) to dispel myths, deceptions, and lies”.

In the cities, he has the support of the leaders of evangelical religious empires, who defend the concept that marriage is possible only between a man and a woman. The far-right candidate also leads among wealthier, more educated men, reflecting the calibre of the Brazilian elites. When president Dilma Rousseff of the Workers’ party (PT) was forced from office in 2016 through an impeachment process of dubious legal merit, Bolsonaro viciously dedicated his vote “to the memory of colonel Carlos Alberto Brilhante Ustra”. Ustra was one of the most sadistic torturers and murderers in the military dictatorship that choked Brazil between 1964 and 1985. He died without answering for his crimes. Then release the hands from the heels one by one and return to the starting position. Relax and take deep breaths.You won’t change anything in this country through voting – nothing, absolutely nothing. Unfortunately, you’ll only change things by having a civil war and doing the work the military regime didn’t do. Killing 30,000, starting with FHC [former president Fernando Henrique Cardoso]. Killing. If a few innocent people die, that’s alright.”
