asana

Después de toda una vida de actividad física, entiendo que hay una gran diferencia entre el hatha yoga y otras disciplinas: la intención.

At 56 I have already lost dear friends to cancer and other illnesses. In their honor, this year I learned fallen angel for my birthday photo.

I didn’t do my first crow pose until I was 51, five years ago. Since then I have grown stronger and have acquired greater balance.

I’m turning 56 in a couple of weeks and I have a goal by 60. It is to do a “floating handstand”…

The difference between asana yoga and other types of bodywork is simple. And it may be different for everyone.

Yoga is not all about the poses, but in my fifties, arm balances make me feel strong, joyful, happy and free. I see no reason to stop challenging myself.

To prove that challenging oneself has nothing to do with age, I´m sharing a photo of Pauline, 81, and a photo of myself, 55, doing the same asana.

I’ve learned that one’s best can look quite different over time. But it always feels the same!
