Bikram Manhattan (that's the username) has some excellent videos, with very experienced students/teachers demonstrating. The resources are out here on cyberspace. Just take advantage of it. :)<br /><br />And it helps to ask the instructor before or after class, if you get a chance, on any adjustments that you feel you need. But even that, asking about everything all the time, especially if you are relatively new to the practice (less than 6 months, maybe), only does so much. The body needs time to physically change. Some answers come to you through consistent and enthusiastic practice.<br /><br />Keep sharing, my friend.

Habits can be changed! SUBTLE can be vastly important. Belly sucked in, not sucked in. Legs spread too far, too close. Pigeon-toed, not pigeon-toed. Fear, confidence. Too slow into the posture, too quick. Exaggerating, not exaggerating.<br /><br />The greatest guru is yourself.Jacob Stickneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17272579610240059760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945120361065953442.post-5095446073067209422011-04-03T11:01:36.043-07:002011-04-03T11:01:36.043-07:00sitting out. guilty.sitting out. guilty.yogeekirstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03857803135054707879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945120361065953442.post-70845690675953658392011-04-02T10:12:33.196-07:002011-04-02T10:12:33.196-07:00Thanks for this post - I need to work on the breat...Thanks for this post - I need to work on the breath and in pushing myself not to sit out.

It is a control we have over our bodies & minds. So many crazy/amazing things can happen in our own lives if we can learn control even for 90 minutes. <br /><br />Great post, Greg!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17132545632625796096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945120361065953442.post-16282653809041575232011-03-31T12:42:03.731-07:002011-03-31T12:42:03.731-07:00Yep, I agree about the breath.

When the breath is golden, the postures can be as well. My instructors are always on students about the breath. I appreciate their strictness, because they emphasize the most vital aspect of practice... in the long run.<br /><br />To me, the priorities are - (1) Breath + Perfect Form, (2) Depth<br /><br />I used to stupidly compromise the breath and form for depth, which is the ego taking over. Depth comes over time. Do the posture slightly wrong, it's wrong altogether. Lose the breath, it isn't yoga. This is a life long practice.<br /><br />And yes, there are a couple bad habits I'm trying to get rid of as far as sitting out. I tend to avoid toe stand, and usually lay out on first set of Separate Leg Head to Knee. Just got to push myself and see what happens. :) Every class can be different. Thank you for the reminder!<br /><br />-JacobJacob Stickneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17272579610240059760noreply@blogger.com
