>> We're in Navasana for the fifth time and

I'm dying. I rock from one side of my bony tailbone

to the other precariously. My legs won't straighten

because my injured psoas gives out. My brain is

chattering away: "Why won't my legs straighten? They used to

straighten. Will he see me cheating? Will he yell at me? I

must try harder. I can't let him see me like this. I

have to concentrate on my breath". Looking over at me,

Pattabhi Jois grins and says, "One more...s_u_r_e. He

always eggs us on that way - and then we do t_h_r_e_e

more. But OK; for him I'll try one more time.

tiber!!)<br><br>Now, if this is not a

good piece of high drama indeed. So K.P. Jois let's

you do EIGHT navasanas consecutively?? John Scott

must be a wimp in comparison - he let's you repeat

navasana only FIVE times (David Swenson, I think, even

less).<br><br>And handstands always in between, that makes...8

handstands in all?? You don't need to have an injured psoas

to let you wish you could cheat the guru. I wonder

how you must feel when you come to the finishing

sequence at last - still alive and kicking?
