SV: Poblems with yoga - and modifying first series to suit my body type.

[Guest guest]

Your teacher should understand that we all need to progress at our own pace, and

that the practice is the important thing, not being able to do all poses

perfect.

 

Competition for me is a no-no, I won't even compete with myself as it might

cause me to not listen to what my body is telling me.

 

Strength should be built slowly, and in ones own time.

 

After about 2 years of practice I have only recently been able to consistently

join hands in Marichyasna A. - Pathetic, I know, but I had a bit of a belly, and

lots of muscle-tissue in legs and arms to contend with.

 

Jump backs are still difficult for me but I notice that I'm making progress.

It seems as if my shoulders and arms are slowly beginning to strectch themselves

longer.

 

I definitely also think that someone weighing 55 kgs will better be able to

lift themselves using the arms only, than someone weighing 85 kgs, like I do.

 

Namaste
