    If you are feeling down about your own practice after watching this or any other video with Laruga, please know that she has been practicing Ashtanga CONTINUOUSLY since 1998. Time and dedication get you here. "Perfection" is not the object in yoga--growth is. No matter how slow your progress, no matter how far you seem from being able to achieve even a simple pose, you are reaping as much benefit as the next yogi as long as you are approaching it with an open heart and working with your breath. Even the most advanced yogi will never stop growing.

I am aware that this is a short amount of time. However, as someone who is neither long-limbed nor particularly skinny/strong/flexible, I still stand by what I said.
      According to the descriptions I find at various blogs and forums, my body is all ''wrong''. But in the end, not like it matters - because neither of these asanas is anatomically impossible. Dwi Pada Shirsasana, Kapotasana, Karandavasana - you name it. Provided that you practice with a qualified teacher, none of these is either dangerous nor impossible. All it takes is time and dedication.

      Melissa Peddy with all due respect this video wouldn’t exactly disprove the notion of women being weaker than men, the only thing that possibly could disprove that argument would be a sudden change in the entirety of human biology, which would probably only happen over the course of millions of years
      Of course none of this goes against the fact that this women and women in general are amazing, the supreme control this women has over her body truly is a trait most men could only dream of

And people who work out and are in shape are going to be stronger than people who don't and aren't, regardless of sex.

      "hacer que parezca fácil"; esa es exactamente la frase. Estudié con un profesor de piano, de la escuela de Los Virtuosos de Moscú. La técnica era de un nivel muy elevado, y una vez me dijo eso: tienes que hacer que parezca fácil. Es lo que hace un artista, después de dominar la técnica, se entrega al sentimiento. Parece fácil, verdad? 😄 Realmente, después de horas y horas, años de trabajo y esfuerzo...resulta fácil y placentero. Nunca había visto el yoga elevado al nivel de arte; es grandioso.

      I had three disc prolapses (the 1st at my 30th birthday...seemed like an omen: you're getting old now, dude.) over a a period of 10 years, even though I've always been engaged in sports of various kinds: judo, basketball, bicycling. Until a year and a half ago - that's when I began practicing yoga on a regular basis - I'd been thinking for years that I always would have to live with backpain for the rest of my life. Now, at 47, I've been free from pain for several months. But the physical benefit is just a nice side effect...what happens mentally and spiritually when you get deeper into it is the most exciting trip one can imagine.
