Jumping For Joy is not only a great classic rock climbing route first put up by Yvon Chouinard near the Nutcracker in Yosemite, it's only what Dewachen is doing as she grabs air on the tramp this morning. Joy feels Dewa's vicariously; that wonder-ful feeling of being as light as a feather. photo by ilg at Mason Center, Durango. click the pic to heighten your Heart...

Re: Namaste~
thank you so much coach..i am following you on DL...
I have a question;
I was doing yoga everyday due to a hip injury and it was fixed then i started doing ashtanga yoga and increased it from 3 days to 5-6 days a week.
After that i had knee problems, never had a problem with my knee before for 38 years...since you have experience in different types of yoga, do you think asthtanga yoga is too risk since it has too much knee bending poses...

Most Treasured Student on the Path of Wholeness,
my short answer: yes.
Ashtanga yoga even at 3x weekly is going to produce injury for most Americans...let alone 5-6 times per week! Such a Discipline-Specific Spike In The Graph of your 38 years is a huge WF no-no!
Ashtanga Yoga is now quickly replacing Ballet as the most injury-producing discipline in America...which is totally ironic, since the 6,000 year-old First Rule of Yoga is Ahimsa. Ahimsa has multiple meanings, like everything else in Yoga, however, first and foremost Ahimsa means; Do No Harm...Do Not Harm yourself or other Beings.
In my Teachings, i have warned new students to be VERY judicious about choosing which forms of Asana to pursue. One must study the Teacher of the style very deeply to make sure he or she reflects Wholeness across the physiologic spectrum; otherwise, like any sport or occupation, the asana will produce Imbalance and Injury instead of Healing and Wholeness. as in the Martial Arts, in Yoga-asana there are Hard forms and Soft forms. HP Yoga® - one of Wholistic Fitness®'s Five Noble Fitness Disciplines - enjoys the Middle Path; it is neither hard nor soft rather a beautiful interweaving of both. this i TAF, is optimal...especially since in WF, our Practice includes sports, fitness, and Meditation.
The founder of Ashtanga Asana was deeply influenced by Western gymnasts, hard-style martial artists, Southern Indian wrestlers, and other joint-intensive practices. The vinyasa's inherent to Ashtanga Asana are extremely joint-intensive as a result and certainly are not
