Hi Uli, Sorry to be out of contact for so long. When my iPhone 7 died a few years ago I bought a 'dumb' phone. Since then I lost all my contact numbers. Only now, I have a new iPhone, so if you send me iMessage on studor13@me.com or +38631466707 we can stay in touch again. Cheers from Slovenia!

Yes, I learned Angamardana, Surya Kriya, Yogasanas, Bhuta Shuddhi and Shambhavi Mahamudra from Sadhguru. I am also a Hatha Yoga teacher. However, I did my teacher training in Rishikesh (not with Sadhguru). 🙏🏽

Thanks for your comments. Remember to do it on the left side as the right side is used whenever you come out of Shivasana. 🙏🏽

Another position I think could be considered for meditation or stability is Seiza. I made a temporary seiza stool for myself, and often use a cushion also. However, I just now sat down but went off to the side like I was commenting about a few months ago and thought I should see how common it was for those familiar with the seiza tradition. It turns out it is considered a feminine casual tendency to sit with legs off to one side in Japan. Which I though had some overlap to you making an observation of women tending to be more conventionally or aesthetically suited to the feet to one side, if I may paraphrase. Seiza is apparently also called Vajrasana. Not sure what impersonal evidence I have to prefer to translate Vajrasana short-hand to diamond pose over Lightning Pose. Though if we went with lightning as a an allegory, I think the idea is lighting is evidently so hard and solid, that though ephemeral it can cut to the quick. So perhaps, the idea is the pose is also very stable/solid.

Hi Uli, My iPhone died. So, I have problems with iMessage and Whatsapp. I sent you a short note on Facebook Messenger. Best regards, Andy

@@yogawithandy i do not have facebook

@@ulrikeklimke8695 I think you can still use just Messenger. You probably need a Facebook account but Messenger can work outside of it. It is a separate app. Also, my message was sent and your profile can be seen. So, you can be found on Facebook. In anycase, my phone number is +386 31 466 707. I can get SMS but not iMessage. I am saving for a new iPhone.

@@ulrikeklimke8695Could you please try studor13@me.com using iMessage? I think that I can get messages on my iPad from your iPhone or other Apple devices. ☀️🦘

I’m not a doctor, so please don’t just take my advice. I would suggest that you try it gently. That is, hang with minimal strain to start with. Increase the load slowly to see if the pain is worse. If so, then please see a doctor. If not, increase load and duration of the hang.

Hi Nabila, Some people say that their mats are not perfectly straight. But my mats look identical. And in terms of performance they are also the same.

How to do it in what pose can you please share 🙏

He is not authorized to do it as he is not a certified teacher. And even certified teachers can teach this online

Hi Sankalp, I mainly use the Manduka Pro mat. This mat is great but it’s not recommended for beginners because you will feel the floor. If the floor is hard a beginner may not have enough conditioning on their knees. When there is a lot of (hot) sun I sometimes use a cork mat as it doesn’t get heated up too much. But then a cork mat doesn’t have as much grip as the Manduka mats. 🙏🏽

Don't put body weight on perineum. You could get an injury. Try to press heel against the perineum. If you can't that's OK. You need to be more flexible. It takes time. Never be in a hurry and force your body to do things it can't yet do.

Hi Agnes, The Warrior 3 pose is the final posture from the Isha Angamardana program. It is actually a lot more difficult than just a single standard pose. If you want something that is great for overall health I can highly recommend it. OK, I also like and do Isha Surya Kriya as well as Yogasanas. Cheers!

Hello Hilde, Great to that you are practicing daily. Please visit www.studor13.si/yoga-with-andy/ for more details. Maybe we see you next summer. Best regards, Andy
