Adho Mukha Vrksasana (Handstand)
Ashley Carter in Handstand
Handstand is one of the most liberating and
empowering of the asanas. Managing a handstand in
the
middle of the room requires a deep understanding of
the inner body. It's taken me quite a long time to
stick a handstand in the middle of the room - but
with the Anusara principles
of alignment - it's gotten to be more familiar and
delightful territory. Read on to learn more about the
alchemy
of handstand.

Om shantih
As Ken Wilber said in Friday night's dialogue with
Traleg Rimpoche, "Life is a co-creative experience."
Know what is in your own heart and mind - and the
doors of perception open to freedom. The above
picture is from Li Low of Tuesday
night yoga class - taken in Santorini - breath taking,
eh?
Lots of enlightenment going on! Shyamdas
on Wednesday night! Plus John Friend, Anusara
founder, is in the New York area
for much of September. He's a master alchemist in
the world of Hatha yoga - a profoundly inspired
teacher whose teachings and practices keep me
going on that yoga mat. Many pranams to our
amazing teacher.
Read on for more lovely details.
Much love,
Kristina
