Advanced yoga

Searching for inspiration for my tomorrow's class, I came across this gem. Just could not hold myself from sharing it:



Ain't it precious?

In comparison, this guy seems to be awesome:

Oh my! Thanks for the entertainment. Both those videos were awesome - in entirely different ways! ;-)

Makes me feel both better and worse about my Urdhva Dhanurasana. Ha ha!

Tracy said...

Very eye opening! :^)

hi Alfia
ay bendito, i'll have to wait till Christmas when i'm stateside to watch these, or maybe while on holeeday in October. does yubidubi let you download? i guess not. but isn't the guy Boodi's fave back bender? i associate him with the Caribbean.
hugs
Arturo

hey! how did you get that movie of me in my bikini???

alfia said...

Hi, Kai!

I felt better about my backbends for a moment too, up until the moment I stumbled upon the second video. :D

Hi, Tracy - than you for stopping by ! :)

Arturo - what a bummer youtube does not work in China. I am not sure if this is the same guy, but both of them have incredible backbend, somewhat not quite human...

Tova, though you look just as lovely in the bikini, your "advanced yoga" is 156793 times more advanced. :)

Wow, Alfia...the first one - from a layman's standpoint, looks pretty damn good. And in a few years, my backbend may be far less advanced than hers, if my arthritis gets any worse.

The fellow is clearly a yogi, and has far better production values.

Both very inspiring for different ways, to paraphrase Kaivalya!

ashtanga en cevennes said...

LOL! But Cranky stole the joke right out of my mouth. After the backbending, was that a downdog, do you think?

Advanced yoga, that's so funny. Why is her face turned away from the camera at all times? The music was certainly very triumphant, anyway.

Liz said...

Tova, I knew that was you!!!

Creepy music- both vids, thought the noodle-back guy is pretty outstanding.

If I hadn't just eaten a big sandwich, I'd be trying that one armed Mayurasna right now! In my bikini, of course.

Really funny, Alfia, thanks for posting!

i don't know about my practice, but her boobs are 156793 times more impressive than mine!

rayna said...

ch - but hers are probably not nearly as functional. (is it obvious i've come to appreciate boobs for what they can DO?) hehehe. (^_^)

awesome clips. alfia. the first one gave me some ideas for when we move to hawaii...
