Comment on how to do headstand (sirsasana) by elakshi veda

The purity of your practice is very evident in reading this. You have so properly pointed out everything needed to be known to a student of yoga finding themselves in this place of should I, can I, how do I..? It felt like breathing fresh air after the rain falls on the foliage reading your answer to this person’s question. True yoga is not focused on asana in and of itself, this is a gross misunderstanding in our Western society, and it is so important to be aware of your body, your capabilities, and even your questions regarding your body’s ability and applying that appropriately to whichever class situation you may be in and the teacher’s acquaintance with your personal practice. When practicing yoga asanas on a regular basis, so many small places of challenge reveal themselves, and it is so so important know your personal boundaries, and know how to approach a boundary one is not sure of yet. Well presented, refreshing to see a student and surely teacher of yoga properly understand yoga first of all and also share and express it to others properly for safety, and ultimately growth.

Thanks for this. I was looking for a nice, bare-minimum summary and I’ve found it here. I appreciate the links to the flow sequences too. Great blog!

Pleasure is mine, Miss J. You can become a fan on the a- -book and their posts will scroll along your feed, reminding you frequently. Almost as inspiring as the IT Crowd, I dare say. xo

I just learned about Ted talks a few weeks ago in a class. I’ve been meaning to listen to some on my own since I enjoyed them so much – thanks for reminding me.

I miss you, too, Mo. Someone tried to catapult us across the room Mo-style in the down dog assist, by lifting up her hands. Made me all teary-eyed nostalgic. :)

Have fun in Beijing and report back on the yoga scene there. I’ve heard it’s growing. xo

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi Anastasia,
I checked the Ishta website, actually their upper east side studio is only 5+1 blocks away from my new apartment. I think I will check it out after I settle down.

Thanks,
Mo
