THE GURU'S ADVICE
"Stretch from the seat of the buttocks and feel the lightness in your buttock. This is the heart of the perfect pose."
Wow, paschimottanasa for impotence, who would have thought? Now I need to go practice and feel the lightness in the buttock ;-)

ReplyDeleteAnyone wants to put this to the test?
Jean Pierre? :)
JP You see how I HAD to do this meme? ;)

ReplyDeletep.s. I didn't feel any lightness in my buttock, I must be doing something wrong.
hmmm...!
ReplyDeletewell, i'd certainly need more information... this stretching from the buttocks is rather ambiguous. stretching what? and to where?! :o
