yoga conundrum inversions SET 1 of 3 … white shorts
Aug 29, 2010 in
Back Pain
Main morning practice this week, dynamic flow & stability test wearing socks to slide into splits easier. Feel many “stuck” places resistant to loosen up, what else is new in this body that feels foreign & aged +20 years overnight. The socks present some slipperiness issues that clues me to move with caution. First of 3 sets practiced in sequence with minor apparel change of shorts between. Plenty of minor physical setbacks, lessons to grow on, yoga practice not perfect.

Great work at any age. You don’t look 20+ years older. Wonderful practise.

Feel at least 10 years younger after stretching some kinks out, now that IS a wonderful practice for any age to breathe & be.

You may feel some stuck places, but this is an amazing practice at a level that few ever achieve. Eka pada urdhva danurasana with socks is like a final graduate level exam in backbending. I am the same age as you and started practice at the same age and I enjoy the practice because I am continuing to improve and will always have more to do.

Dan,
I keep coming back to mindful practice because it’s fun & good for me & there is always something new to explore & discover, don’t need any special equipment, an efficient intelligent way to maintain or improve strength, flexibility & balance enhancing quality of life especially as I age.
Hard to compare people as we all have different backgrounds, body proportions, genetic predispositions, etc that would facilitate degree of limberness. I did have some flex exposure as a kid.
