At long last 6th series has been revealed in it's entirety.
As you will see lot's of backbends as we suspected.
You might want to skip past the first minute of the standing sequence to Vrschikasana C and some tocks. Ganda Bherundasana Parivrttasana was a surprise, as was Chakra Bandhasana Hanumanasana. I've forgotten the name of the asana at 2:11 but you wont want to miss it. Pommeasana at 3:00 is another highlight

Did Susananda send you this clip? :)
I've seen it & I think she was the one who alerted me!
No, not Susan but Nemsisi. The bit at 2:10 blew me away, how is that even possible.
OH M Y G O D!!!
JEEEEEE SUUUUUUSSSS
OHHHHH MYYYYY GOOOOOODDDDD
I propose that you Boodiba and I get together in this lifetime to do the bit at the end.
Are these women real? was this before photoshop and flash?
hi Grimmly
(sorry, that was me deleting a comment so i could get a reference right)
he he. when i saw the blurb of your topic in this topic, "he he" was going to be my comment. now that i see the body of the post the laugh is appropriate. it was actually a Brit from Cardiff, a fellow CRON practitioner that sent me a link to that clip. it's loads of fun, although i wonder about the strangeness of their feet positions, like there is a lot of splaying going on.
oh, also, there was some weird flexy contortionist linked to in the ashtanga oz blog. but that one i saw yesterday. the blogger stopped blogging 3 years ago. i wonder if he still practices. but anyhow, he linked to it.
bendy woman
cheers,
Arturo
EEEK!
BUT!! ...I suspect that's only ONE limb of yoga - asana. I ain't seeing no pratyahara, dharana, dhyana...
*sour grapes*
Hehe. Although geez, if I could do that, that would feel like samadhi I'm sure. Maybe we should all run off and join the circus. ;p
Holy smoke, Grim! That's SO cool and a bit creepy at the same time. And it makes me feel like I have a steel rod for a spine!
Now, I DO have a steel rod for a spine! I saw this a while back, don't remember where. Strangely enough, it doesn't give me the willies any more, but it really is astonishing! I've become a little desensitised, I guess. Too much youtube...
It's a long way from the Cirque du Soleil,
Do Manduka make a mat in Gingham I wonder?
Good to see thjs stuff sometimes, as well as the Gymnastics at Boodi's place. Reminders that we're not really in this for Circus skills, Gymnastics and Contortion,it shouldn't be asana for asana's sake, should it?
I need that reminder sometimes.
You get wrapped up in one of the cool asanas sometimes and because your so focussed on getting the asana right you start to forget the point of it in the first place. Same with some of the deep bends. I finally reach my heels in Kapo and then find myself thinking' if I can just slide my hands a little past my heels perhaps I can grab my ankles....' Why for heaven's sake???
I think there is an argument for it but I suspect we're not thinking about that when we're trying to nail a cool pose or go deeper into a posture.
That said......I want to be able to do that sliding back up thing.
I would think that the above mentioned Circus performers, Contortionists and Gymnasts are more than likely engaged in more limbs than just asana.
Well why not Grim?
We'll see what I get up to, if I start learning circus tricks from the acrobat. I dunno... he & I have polar opposite schedules...
I wish I could get someone to film me in a free standing chakra bandasana, but I can only do that at the shala because I need help getting into it and - at this point - careful watching.
'well why not'
Which bit do you mean?
Will look forward to your FS Chakra B. What do you think, by the end of your India trip.
Holy Shit
Wow ...
LOL it appears to be some women singing now? is there a correct youtube link somewhere?
This is the correct video miko, keep watching, 6th series starts about 2 minutes in : ) some SERIOUS bacbending.
