Wall of Voodoo

[Guest guest]

Here's a few more of my opinions re this

subject:<br><br>The 2nd series does completement the 1st series

really nicely. Once proficiency is more-or-less

established in both series, then alternating each series by

days of the week makes sense.<br><br>The only way to

make progress in specific asanas to to practice those

specific asanas. For example, kurmasana is a great

preparation for eka pada sirsana and all other variations of

leg behind head...but to expect to get your legs

behind your head by just practicing kurmasana isn't very

realistic.<br><br>The same goes for falling back and coming up to

standing in urdhva D....for this happen in your lifetime,

one needs to do way more than the prescribed

3x.<br><br>Vinyasa hatha yoga isn't voodoo. Proficiency isn't

achieved by magic or by the Guru's

Blessings.<br><br>Proficiency is only achieved by practice; more pratice, more

proficiency.<br><br>There's another factor here as well: one's genetic

background. What's true for sports is true for this yoga.

Some are natural athletes who will progress rapidly in

this yoga, going on to the Advanced series.

<br><br>Most will not, but many will be able to make progress

in 2nd.
