ashtanga yoga How many of you follow the 6 day Ashtanga schedule?

[Guest guest]

Regular practice is good with a ***lot*** of attention

to alignment. Improper alignment can cause serious

injuries. I recommend you look into your alignments.

 

My right wrist has been screwed up for the past 2

months because I put a lot of weight on my wrists

rather than using my whole arm properly, despite the

constant nagging of my teacher (Oh my God! You have no

idea. He can really whine sometimes!!!). Now I am

paying for it - No arm balances for 2 months, no

jump-throughs/backs, can't hold a Chaturanga for more

than a breath, injected a few cortesones. I feel shock

waves in my whole arm if I even try a single gimmick:(

 

The patient says "Doctor, it hurts here when I press".

Doctor says "Then don't do it!!! Or else more

cortesone".

 

Which leaves me more time to explore the less fun

stuff like Hanumanasana;)

 

Focus on Alignments,

Gayathri.

 

We are all perfect with imperfections --
