TRIBAL BIRTHDAY!..a YOGI SQUAT BDAY FOR STUDENT ASH!
WF Online Student Ash from Great Britain cranking a climbing route enroute to opening his hips via hard practice in the Yogi Squat!
as you know, in WF i gauge ‘birthdays’ a bit differently than the conventional human. i gauge these days as BreakThrough Practice Days! Days that, after having worked long and hard toward in Daily Practice, finally, finally, FINALLY a breakthrough occurs…Tribal examples include; the first time you cranked a “real” Pull Up by yourself, the first time you realized the Brahmanic Breath (the breath inside the breath…Pran vs. air…) or, like the first time your FRIGGIN’ TOES FINALLY POINTED STRAIGHT FORWARD in YOGI SQUAT (aka; malasana) as WF Online Student Ash just related in his Cycle Summation:
“My hips are slowly improving Coach, although this is still a long road to travel yet! Standout reactions from the yoga this month would be in the improvements that I have seen. Just tonight I was able to hold Malasana with my toes straight for about 20 seconds for the first time!”
this, my Noble Fitness Warriors of the multi-disciplined Path Toward Wholeness, is a FANTASTIC BIRTHDAY! i recall my Malasana birthday…toes straight forward, butt low to Ma Earth, hands not wailing about in the air trying to counteract the years of Furniture and Shoe Addiction!
tonight, i eat some Indian Bread in Yogi Squat and BOW to Noble WF Online Student Ash…it took me, get this; 9.5 years to get my Malasana Birthday! Student Ash,…Happy Malasana Birthday! Many long years of lower back freedom from pain await you! you only took 4 months!!! if i were not such an ‘accomlished’ yogi…i’d be DAMNED JEALOUS!!
Seriously, well done, Noble Warrior Ash! you have just reached an high-intermediate level of WF Training that is sure to be an Inner Springboard for a cascade of chakra clearing, nadic fitness, and long term health!
YEAH BABY!
namaste,
your loving and admiring fan,
