3 degrees of separation - backbends

Hahaha! I just found out from my colleague, Chandra that he is connected to Sri K Pattabhi Jois! His brother-in-law is non other than R. Sharath! :) More amazing than this is that my colleague Chandra has a house in Mysore - India just right next to AYRI that Guruji teaches at! How cool is that! I'm only 3 degrees of separation from Guruji! Yaaayyy! (Although I'm sure that he'll faint if he sees how inflexible I am.)

Learnt something new last night, which really helped my backbends.… Continue

It wasn't too long ago when this m… Continue

1st week of WoYoPracMo - Corporeal Chaos

It has been a slow and painful start to WoYoPracMo. my body is in corporeal chaos.

Firstly, my old hip injury is back with a vengence in 2008. I've been to the acupuncturist twice to control the waves of pain traveling down my left leg. I'm staying clear from painkillers, but I'm considering going for an MRI, just to make sure that the nerves are not too damaged. Clear instructions from acupuncturist: " NO SPORT. NO YOGA FOR YOU." But like the stubborn monkey I am, I took my chances las… Continue
