David Keil on Ashtanga Yoga, Injury, Fascia and Sun Salutations 

I just love listening to these interviews. Stu, you are a wonderful interviewer and these conversations are so natural. Please keep this up! :)

Hey Stu, I have a question, I went to a chiropractor after 10+ years of discomfort in my back and they found a subluxation in my lower back left side. It caused me to become lazy and I lost alot of athletic ability ever since year 7 in high school. I noticed that the left side of my body has injuries top to bottom, my left ankle is weak on the outside (injury), my left knee is definitely damaged, my left shoulder doesn't function right, my left ribs are in my opinion are really stuck and my left hip has dull pain front and back. My chiropractor recommended I do ashtanga Yoga after discovering that I'm really tight, and its very true, i couldn't sit up straight in the right angle 90 degree position, anyway I have been following your advice on stretching the whole back line of my body and it has really helped! but my question is, my legs are unusually skinny, especially my bum, can short/small gluteus cause problems? My guess is I stopped using them. Also my sternum, ribs and abdominal are/were tight and also weak, should I strengthen my abdominals and glute's and stretch them too, I'm malnourished remember, no muscle

Tennis ball thing - Cool experiment. Sitting here listening to this on my day off and feeling my very sore hamstrings from this week! I tried a forward fold which resulted in fairly bent legs for comfort. Then, I took my knuckles to the bottoms of my feet for a few seconds each and tada! second forward fold with almost straight legs. I get to spend this upcoming week with David Keil for Mysore - so excited!!

It's very hard to be objective with your own patterns, yes, both physical and mental. Great stuff!

You both are sooo awesome! Thanks for that wonderful and informative interview!

Wow !!! Fantastic interview... amazing amount of information and insights...Many thanks Stu and and David... Great approach in regards to the questions...as usual....Thanks from Canada guys..

The only thing that would improve these conversations is actually sitting in that seemingly idyllic spot with Stu and David in real life. It seems like a magical place.

Really enjoyed all of these conversations. I sat and listened to a bunch of them all at once. Love the conversational style

I can listen (and learn) to this kind of discussion all day long. Thank you so much. Please keep them coming.

Injury . Meaning in judgment.
