especially before and during and after working out (or waiting in lines or whenEVER)…just drop into a Yogi Squat and work some Mula Pumps…i call Mula Bandha the “Mantra of Body Purification.” Photo of me during my HP Yoga RUNNER’S WARM UP VINYASA to be included in Roy Wallack’s new book on running.

Steve,
I am stumbling as I said. It will take me some time, I think, to feel comfortable with my WF Early Morning Ritual.
I think I have the mula and uddiyana bandha locks down,feels somewhat similar to the Pilates work really.
I have not done the Rasa eating.
To be honest, my energy is so high right now it is tough to calm down and focus.
The situation with my (omitted for privacy) right now is highly critical…(Omitted) is having very bad seizures.I feel like I am breaking up into a million little pieces. Most difficult thing I have ever handled. When you get into problems with the brain our medical field is pretty clueless,especially the area of (omitted).
I am sure this is why it is so difficult for me to focus on something as calming as Rasa.Of course it is probably just what I need.
That’s all for now.
