I read with interest this particular blog about yoga. The author mentioned that there was a question by someone who asked why this yoga guru has died of heart attack at the age of 96. To this guy, if yoga is so good, then why this yoga guru has died of heart attack and not of natural death. Here is the original post :
This time round, I think I hurt my some inner thigh muscle on both legs. How? No idea…
Ego’s doing or my insensitivity to my own body?

Yes! Today I had a minor breakthrough for my headstand. Managed to really balance for a slight 2 seconds ( … not 1 but 2, not 3 but 2… yes 2 seconds… )

Perhaps it is because my head is clear and more focus during class? Hence the push ups were not to difficult to do.

The second leg which is the bouncer ( haha ) to be suspended three quarters up to the top when you “bounce” the leg off the floor before you bring it together with the top leg.
