new beginnings

[Guest guest]

Start with suryanamaskar A & B, then see how you

feel. If you feel OK add some standing poses and do

finishing poses. Build it up day by day - dont push it,

better to do too little than too much! You could contact

Baxter Williams who teaches in Gainsville at

eightlimb.

Ami<br><br>See how it goes. Take it easy there's

no prize at the end of the practice just the thought

that tomorrow you start again, each day another

beginning.<br><br>Like the other guy said, sunsalutes, check the

feeling, standing pose, sheck the feeling.<br><br>The way

I look at yoga is that it's for life which - I hope

- gives me a lot of years of practice so there's no

rush. The only thing to watch out for is the monkey

mind that often doesn't like the discipline and won't

settle into the practice, so if he's playing up I say

okay one more and then we see, and often after the

asana and vinyasa the monkey is back into it and I

wasn't really too tired or urgently wanting to be

somewhere else except for on the mat. <br><br>In your case

check it's not the monkey that says too much and that

it really is the body feeling that says okay enough

for today. Before you know it you'll be back to where

you were, but perhaps by going slowly you might also

gain better insight into the effects of the asanas and

maybe see something new in old familiarities.
