Great information! I’ll be getting some of the DVDs soon. Lucas, I’ve done yoga for years and found little to help my scoliosis like some of your poses have. Please target scoliosis, specifically, if you could.

You do a beautiful job of demonstrating chaturanga dandasana — keeping a right angle in your elbow at the lowest point, protecting the rotator cuff / shoulder from injury — before sliding into upward facing dog. So often this is an overlooked detail. Thank you for sharing your practice, knowledge and this lovely video!

Namaste

Correct! Sun salutations are really the good thing to do first because it warms up your body and prepares it to for a yoga exercise. It can help you avoid muscle pains after exercising.

I really agree, sun salutations should be really a constant routine of a yoga student and even teachers. And your videos are really great.

Hi Lucas.
Beautiful demonstration. I was hoping that by watching it I would be tempted to re-think my aversion to the series (particularly downwarddog), but NO. It still looks as bad for me as last time I tried it. No matter how slow, or careful I have been with this, it always throws my neck out and tweaks my back…. I know. That’s the opposite of what it is supposed to do. but that IS what happens. It was good to watch your video, however. At least I know that I was moving ‘properly’.

Still loving your ‘gravity’ poses. Now THAT works for me. I warm up with some gravity poses, then I go on to do the 26 Bikram poses with much more strength and flexibility than when I don’t warm up with gravity.

Again, thanks for your care and time.
