    Commentaries around

    “How do we know that a student is ready to attempt
    a more progressive Āsana such as Sarvāṅgāsana?
    From following a core principle in the teachings of Vinyāsa Krama.
    In that, the Pratikriyāsana for a particular Āsana needs
    to be mastered before that particular Āsana is attempted.
    For example, if we want to teach Sarvāṅgāsana,
    because it will have a specific potential for the particular student,
    then we teach the Pratikriyāsana Bhujaṅgāsana first.
    So the student first works around Bhujaṅgāsana
    within their personal practice and the information that arises
    guides the teacher as to their readiness for, in this case, Sarvāṅgāsana.
    The information arising from observing how
    the student practices Bhujaṅgāsana guides
    the teacher as to the appropriateness of Sarvāṅgāsana.
    The information that feeds back may be on the level
    of Annamaya, Prāṇamaya, Manomaya or beyond.
    Obviously, this implies that we are observing the student’s practice directly.
    Once the student shows an adequate performance of Bhujaṅgāsana
    and it can be integrated into their existing personal practice,
    then we can be more secure that the student is ready to approach
    integrating Sarvāṅgāsana into their regular practice.”

    “What does reflecting
    on our relationship
    with Manomaya reveal?
    In other words what
    relationship do we have
    with our habitual patterns?”
