Here is the link I promised to the article about headstand and shoulderstand. I am not familiar with the author of this article, but it is a nice synthesis of the writings of BKS and Gita Iyengar, Donna Farhi and Eric Schiffman on the subject. Upcoming Events - Sianna Sherman in Portland!!
Jan 27 - 29, 2012 at Yoga Union. See the Events Page ••• Yoga It also helps us to find freedom in our lives. We start with the yoga poses, of course - mountain pose, warrior two - in our bodies is where we practice yoga, and you have to do the practice to get the benefits. Then we find yoga poses hidden in plain sight, among all the many details that fill up our days. Really - your job, your broken heart, your communication problems in relationships - these are the Secret Lives of Yoga Poses. And if you want them to, these poses can deliver you to the brilliance at your very core. It's true. They can keep you in touch with the freedom you are made of. •••
My name is Alison Alstrom. I am an Anusara - inspired™ yoga teacher in Portland, Oregon. I started this website to promote the classes and workshops I teach here in town, and elsewhere. But it quickly evolved into a place to explore the broader teachings of the practice. Every moment can be a yoga pose, and can inform us and empower us as we move through our lives, and I write about the ways I move through poses and moments, and post those writings here. I would welcome your contributions at any time. We teach each other by sharing our stories. You can use the contact page to email me words or pictures, and to let me know how you'd like them used, and if I can quote you. While none of the writings here are sponsored or sanctioned by or in any way officially connected to Anusara Yoga, I am a dedicated student of its founder, John Friend, and his teachings nourish and fuel all my thoughts and actions in some way. They directly inform my understanding of all things asana. Whether or not I transmit with any clarity or effectiveness is another matter altogether. ••• Great News!!
