ashtanga yoga in my days

Doing less is more (more difficult!)

After some exhaustion and health problems I need to step back a little in my ashtanga practice. It is not easy to maintain self-respect when the heart is pumping at full speed during the standing asanas and because you are out of breath, you try to do it even more slowly. Trying not to remember "days of glory" when nothing seemed impossible.

It is even more difficult to step back during those "days of glory" in order to NOT fall in the wickedly sneaking exhaustion and health problems again!

This is a very comprehensive practice.
