HI Sayakhmad, Glad you are connecting with the Iyengar style. It has such a deep and rich history through experimentation, adaptation study and continuous practice. Happy to have you join me. Namaste, Kathy
Hi Alma, thanks but was not always the case. After 35 years of practice the body, the breath and the mind learn the way and learn to work together. I was very stiff when I began! 😊🙏🏻
Hi Polly, I seem to remember a while back, maybe it was you, looking for a class working with Hanumanasana. Does my memory serve me correctly? Either way pleased you had a good experience, wide hanumanasana, wide mind! Namaste
Hi Ananda, Ouch that can be painful as well as lasting a long time with doing the wrong movement. Forward bends will exacerbate the overstretch so be careful. Sitting on the edge of the chair just in from of the tear (near the hamstring side) keep that presses so as to fix it and not stretch that area while bending forward or even just sitting on a chair. We spend lots of time in the day sitting so sit like that so as not to keep injuring. Backbending actions are good as it draws the top of the hamstring and the buttock toward one another providing some padding or cushioning for the Ischial tuberiosity. Same principal for adho mukhas svasana, buttock drawing down toward the top of the hamstring and the hamstring lifting up. Try those and see how you go till I can upload something. Namaste, blessings and patience, Kathy
Emma, this is a common question for many. We all have different bodies, and therefore all respond differently. Of course practice over a long time makes the biggest difference. Additionally, look to your lifestyle to see what habitual actions you have developed that add to that tightness and tension. Sitting for long periods is one. My suggestion is to vary your practice with standing, seated, twists and beginner backbending. That way you are addressing the opening in a balanced way. Namaste

I don't get why it takes me so long to open up the groin. It's been over two years. Should I repeat this practice every day or stay long in this pose?

Is this yoga for ladies only madam pls confirm
Raghavendra, this and all the classes are appropriate for both men and women.
Enjoy and let me know how you go. Namaste, Kathy
