Fantastic interview thank you so much! I have full bone on bone shoulder (in my late 60’s- also did ashtanga for 20 years with a bike accident injury) but still can do much.. while having to eliminate arms behind back.. the dr says whatever I am doing keep doing it keep doing it.. its yoga but as Bernie says once it got blown I took months to use feldenkrais to rehab it.. thank you both so so much!! Still learning 50 years into yoga.. 🧘♀️
glad you listened to this one. I’ve got an earlier one with Bernie too. They are some of the most essential listening of all the podcasts I feel - as his books are essential reading. 🙏😊
This was an amazing interview, a fantastic anatomy lesson. I have learnt so much from this, just at a time when I need it most. 'Balance over symetry', acceptance of your limitations due to individual bone structures and 'we don't use the body to get into the pose, we use the pose to get into the body' are concepts not understood by many yoga teachers and therefore not passed on to practitioners. I have listened to many of your interviews, for me, this was by far the best. Thank you to both of you.
Brilliant conversation...thank you Adam. Bernie's teaching of anatomy and movement is fundamentally important to all of us humans. Unlearning to relearn ...awfully hard for me as a lopsided person...!!!! I've been trying for many years🙄😅❤
yes, i know i’m meant to be impartial. But, i might agree. You’ve also listened to Bernie’s first one with me , right? indeed, i learnt a lot too!! thanks for letting know.
@@keenonyoga I have just revisited that interview and realised, that I can't have given it my undivided attention last time. A wealth of information you do not get anywhere else. I am trying to overcome the damage of an injury from a few years ago, which also totally interfered with my spiritual practice. I am now going back to basics and apply the tools Bernie Clark gives to explore from the inside of the body, to improve what I can. I have also got 2 of his books to help me.
"We don't use the body to get into the pose... we use the pose to get into the body." What a great approach to trying to keep the practice of yoga safe. Thanks Adam, Bernie
Btw, it's Paul Grilley, not Gurly. He developed "Modern" version of Yin Yoga with his wife, Sarah. "... Yin Yoga poses apply moderate stress to the connective tissues of the body-the tendons, fasciae, and ligaments-with the aim of increasing circulation in the joints and improving flexibility... Yin Yoga is slow-paced style of yoga as exercise, incorporating principles of traditional Chinese medicine, with asanas (postures) that are held for longer periods of time than in other styles. Advanced practitioners may stay in one asana for five minutes or more. The sequences of postures are meant to stimulate the channels of the subtle body known as meridians in Chinese medicine and as nadis in Hatha yoga... "
28:05 What effected the healing of the knee in the control group? Change in the energetics, in the meridians/astral body to be exact. When people believe they are being healed, they get healed even if nothing is done by the healer or in thus case surgeon. It’s a thumb rule if you wish to heal the physical, heal the astral and if you wanna heal the astral, heal the causal. Immediate result 🙏
So much injuries from yoga? That doesn’t sound right at all but at the same time there is no teaching of how one should do alignment and extension in ashtanga. You just told to do it with zero attention to the quality of the practice which would include practicing safely. So that injuries and hip replacements and hurting neck vertebraes happen is nothing but very low level of quality in teaching. In Chinese yoga such things don’t happen because there is much higher quality of instructions.
