Congratulations…mayuransana is an extremely difficult pose. I assume you’ve seen the Pattabhi Jois video of the sequence I posted on March 9…btw, those are some famous yoga teachers being instructed by the master. I see a theme in your practice…very unusual, and take a guess why.

It is not a bad thing, your breathing is actually very calming.

Oh by the way I held peacock(mayurasana) pose for the first time ever today. It was very exciting!

I guess I am known for my breathing…oh well. Better to be known for that than something else, I suppose.

Well, in the case of pincha mayurasana, yes, use of the wall is fine, since you’re going to be arching the back anyway (while dropping the stomach and bringing the chest forward).

I was wondering if the above post applies to forearm stands in regards to “kicking up”. It seems like you would have to have ultra incredible core strength to get into a forearm stand without kicking up. At least that is the only way that I can do it.

I’d also help with that.

Uh…yeaaaah. I think it would be a great idea, and I haven’t specifically asked about it, but I’m not sure if the club policy would allow it. Liability issues, you know. Still, might be worth pursuing.
