Messing around here with some arm balances at the old abandoned Beatles Ashram near Rishikesh quite a few years ago. This place was so peaceful and beautiful. The old meditation hall was decorated illegally by local artists. The jungle was busy taking back the ruins.
This is one of my favourite transitions for fun and also an extremely efficient way to maintain active range and strength in the trunk and hips. I learned this little sequence of Titthibasana, to Ashtavakrasana, and on to Koundinyasana in 1997 from Simon Borg-Olivier and it has stayed with me. It requires (and maintains) plenty of "core strength" with spinal mobility.
Actually the athletes in the Indian Cricket team were pretty impressed with it as I remember.
If you would like to learn more and play around with these and other yoga tricks (and impress athletes who think that yoga asana is just stretching) I will be running a four week course from 18th of this month to teach the Yoga Synergy Fire sequence in detail.
Online and in person and recordings will be made available for your convenience. Details for booking are on Bookamat

Are you Born to Yoga?

27/07/2021

Thanks Deon Braun for the review and writeup in Trail Magazine about my Book.

I am really honoured that you went so far as to call my book the"Born to Yoga" of Yoga books.

I was so inspired by MacDougal's Born to Run that I ended up running the three peaks Ultra.

If my stories and guides get more folks to delve into the practices of yoga then that will be mission accomplished..
