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

[Guest guest]

Hi Anna

 

I had a comment to add on a modification for vinyasas. I wrote earlier

from my other email address about a lady who has your body type and

practices ashtanga gracefully. After practice today I asked her how

she adjusts for vinyasas. She says that her vinyasas are basically

like a cat-cow motion. Getting out of the asana, she gets to her

knees as if she was going to do cow pose. She then puts her stomach

on the floor, pushes with her arms into cobra (as a modification for

upward dog), from there she pushes back as if she was going to

go to childs pose. At that point, the straightens her legs and

walks them up to her hands. She says that the books " Ashtanga for

Women " and " Mega Yoga " have helped her understand the practice

and adjust it for her body type. Hope that helps.
