Five Tibetans problem

 

The Tibetans hurt my lower back.

 

 

I have a steady yoga practice and have been doing yoga for about 30

years. I have what some would call a " bad back " . (I do not call it

that but for ease of talking and writing I do use the phrase.) I

know what makes my back feel good and what makes it feel bad. I must

do back bends slowly with great care and carefully limit how far I

bend and how many times I do a back bend. The Tibetans give me pain

 

My questions is,

Do I really need to do them or is it OK to do my regular asanas?

Like the Tibetans I work on strengthening my core (stomach, sides and

back) I also bend/stretch and twist in all directions.

 

I think that I could do the alterative versions of the Tibetans but,

are they a weaker version of the original Five Tibetans? Would it be

better to do " my " asanas?

 

By the way…I also got a pimple two days ago. Coincidence or shakti

doing her thing?
