Gabrielle,

First and foremost, thank you so much for this phenomenal resource. I started my yoga practice six months ago and it is, without a doubt, the best decision I’ve ever made.

A question for you all about Standing Bow. I’ve generally experienced one of two uncomfortable sensations in this pose. Either my foot begins to cramp (which was particularly true the first three months of class) or whichever arm is in the air while I am balancing beginning to “fall asleep” and circulation is lost.

Any initial thoughts? The left side of my body is markedly less strong than the right (though it’s certainly improving through 4 – 5 classes a week). Most of the sensations I have are connected to my left foot and left arm, for whatever reason.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts you might have – I’m glad to be part of such a giving community.

Best,

Larry
