I'm considering two workshops that I was

wondering if I could get some insight on. First one being

April 27-29 in Columbus, Ohio (at the new Joyful

Practice studio)...Tim Miller is going to be giving a

workshop there. Has anyone studied with him? How is it? I

think my mom is going to let me to go that one and stay

with my uncle in Columbus. The next one is here in

Kansas City. What is everyone's opinions on Max Strom?

I'm pretty sure that's who my teacher started her

study with and she really likes him. He's coming to the

studio that I go to to first weekend in May. I guess I

should try to go to all workshops i can go to though, so

maybe I answered my own question! :o) Just thought I'd

look for some opinions. On another note, I can almost

get up into a headstand without the wall. I walk my

feet far enough forward that they come off the ground

now. HOWEVER, I'm still afraid of flipping over, so

how to I raise my legs while still keeping my hips

squared above my shoulders? Hope everyone has a wonderful

day! By the way, FBL, your posts always make me laugh.

Thanks for the comic relief during the day!

Lauren, I am glad you are laughing. Some people

are very offended by my posts which is not my

intention. Tim Miller is really great. He is probably among

the two or three most experienced and humble Ashtanga

teachers in America. Many who also teach were his students

at one time.<br><br>FBL

Why are so many afraid of falling over in

handstand? Why practice against the wall, for

years?<br><br>If you fall, you fall. I've fallen literally

hundreds of times and have never hurt myself, nor have i

ever seen anyone hurt themselves.

I did the 3 day workshop with Tim Miller last

year. It will take your practice to a whole new level.

There is much talk about certified Ashtanga teachers

here, Tim is one, and you will see what the talk is

about. Do whatever it takes for you to get to Columbus &

get yourself on a mat in front of Tim.

If you are into ashtanga go to Tim Miller. Max

Strom may be a nice guy and your teacher may like him,

but he is not an ashtanga teacher.Tim is one of the

very best any where, so go and you won't be sorry.

I used the wall at times not for fear of falling,

but to get a feel for the position itself.. how the

body holds itself in the position, correct alignment

etc, that whilst falling so many times I did not have

a chance to know what I was aiming for, so to

speak...<br>In Peace,<br>Owlfire

Don't know anything about Max Strom, but I'll

join the chorus when it comes to Tim Miller: he's

really special. I attended Tim's Columbus workshop last

April: both he and the event itself were fabulous. I

plan to be there again this year (along with some

other folks on this board, I bet). Not only are the

sessions great -- thanks to the efforts of Martha Marcom

and her friends, the ashtanga community in Columbus

is quite vibrant and is second to none in

hospitality.<br><br>From your posts it sounds as if you are at at a point

in your practice where you could receive maximum

benefit from a workshop somewhere. Hope to see ya in

Columbus!<br><br>Peace and Good,<br>Homer

"so how do i raise my legs whiile keeping my hips

squared above my shoulders?"<br><br>you don't. to

counterbalance the weight of the legs extending out, your hips

actually have to travel back past vertical, so they are

for a short period of time not over your hips. but

the center of gravity of your body does remain

centered over the shoulders. once you get stable at

holding your legs out at an approximately 90 degree

angle, then as you raise your legs further, you push

your hips back forward to keep the center of gravity

above your shoulders. see your post 5136 and the

various replies

I will have to join the chorus as well, go, go

quickly to a workshop with Tim Miller, he is magical. I

live 10 miles from his studio in Encinitas so I am a

very fortunate soul. I also just spent a week in Tulum

with him, WOW!
