  3. comment on Dave H's statement of "overlooking the pain": Please, never "overlook-the-pain"..Your body is telling you something, your body is talking to your mind..acknowledge your pain & work to relieve it. Find the tiny adjustments you need to make in in your personal asana practice to 'most near' approximate the pose without causing pain to appear. Relax & relieve the tension of the pain–Breath into the beginning edge of the pain, with healing energy of the mind & universe.. But don't "power-through" the pain..That is not what yoga is about..Yoga is about understanding the edges & your personal limits of your own individual body & working with & accepting what you are, -what you have..yoga is moving throughout your asanas with ease, a calm face & attitude & a relaxation of tension.

  4. NAMASTE Divya, thank you for this video. I practice ashtanga at home and I have had lower back back for years. And the back is preventing me going to much further. But I will overlook the pain, I have done it for years.
    Thank you
    NAMASTE
