    If you are feeling down about your own practice after watching this or any other video with Laruga, please know that she has been practicing Ashtanga CONTINUOUSLY since 1998. Time and dedication get you here. "Perfection" is not the object in yoga--growth is. No matter how slow your progress, no matter how far you seem from being able to achieve even a simple pose, you are reaping as much benefit as the next yogi as long as you are approaching it with an open heart and working with your breath. Even the most advanced yogi will never stop growing.

I am aware that this is a short amount of time. However, as someone who is neither long-limbed nor particularly skinny/strong/flexible, I still stand by what I said.
      According to the descriptions I find at various blogs and forums, my body is all ''wrong''. But in the end, not like it matters - because neither of these asanas is anatomically impossible. Dwi Pada Shirsasana, Kapotasana, Karandavasana - you name it. Provided that you practice with a qualified teacher, none of these is either dangerous nor impossible. All it takes is time and dedication.

      "hacer que parezca fácil"; esa es exactamente la frase. Estudié con un profesor de piano, de la escuela de Los Virtuosos de Moscú. La técnica era de un nivel muy elevado, y una vez me dijo eso: tienes que hacer que parezca fácil. Es lo que hace un artista, después de dominar la técnica, se entrega al sentimiento. Parece fácil, verdad? 😄 Realmente, después de horas y horas, años de trabajo y esfuerzo...resulta fácil y placentero. Nunca había visto el yoga elevado al nivel de arte; es grandioso. Gracias por tu comentario, me ha traído hermosos recuerdos.

      Eunice Santiago Precisely! I agree that this video highlights what most of us would deem very difficult - see impossible- but as anyone who maintains a regular yoga practice can attest to, your body and your mind will open up in ways you never imagined possible- that is the true power of yoga- we begin to see our infinite potential and clear all obstacles in our way.

      I had three disc prolapses (the 1st at my 30th birthday...seemed like an omen: you're getting old now, dude.) over a a period of 10 years, even though I've always been engaged in sports of various kinds: judo, basketball, bicycling. Until a year and a half ago - that's when I began practicing yoga on a regular basis - I'd been thinking for years that I always would have to live with backpain for the rest of my life. Now, at 47, I've been free from pain for several months. But the physical benefit is just a nice side effect...what happens mentally and spiritually when you get deeper into it is the most exciting trip one can imagine.
