FEATURED Advanced POSturES – EKA HASTA MAYURASANA x2 & Mayurasana – Alternatives offered

On watching these videos I warrant that:

  • I am fit and healthy to practice yoga and if this changes will communicate with Stefan any concerns about physical/physiological/psychological condition if and as and when any arise.

  • I have consulted with a trained medical professional if unsure about my capacity to practice yoga.

  • I will practice to the extent where I feel able to access completely relaxed natural breathing (unless directly instructed otherwise) in every exercise and feel no physical discomfort.

  • I will move slowly & actively without momentum (ie jumping into poses unless directly instructed).

  • I will restrain from throwing or pulling limbs beyond their unassisted range of motion or forcing them with body weight.

  • I am responsible for ensuring my own safety by avoiding anything that feels unstable or imbalanced during practice.

  • The body is extremely complex and repetitive strain may occur if technique around one of the major joints is practiced insufficiently. I will learn to discern differences between muscular work & joint/tendon/ligament support. I will build understanding by feeling joints are not sore during or after practice (muscular soreness is not ideal also however repairs much quicker). A clearer view is, if the discomfort builds progressively and takes longer than a few days to pass, it’s likely joint related. If I am in any doubts I will immediately cease the element of practice that triggers discomfort and contact Stefan.
