Hi Jules. I love your approach based on the reality of our bodies and how they work. Lots of great stuff in your show. I was wondering if you had any advice on caring for our elbows. Several years of intense ashtanga are starting to take their toll on my not-so-young body, and especially wrists and elbows. Gratitude for everything you give:)
Hi Frederic, While I can't provide specifics for your individual situation over the internet, keep in mind that if the shoulders aren't positionally situated to keep up with the demands of a regular practice, the elbows and wrists will take on more than they should. You may want to experiment with less regulation of position in search of a more natural alignment - based on what you are working with on any given day. I know that doesn't say much - but there's a lot there if you step back take a broader view. Happy yoga-ing.
Can't wait to watch this series! When I am in a pose I often try to imagine what muscles are working and how my center of gravity is shifting. I only wish there was a yoga unit when I took Biomechanics! ;)
