Five years ago I was in London and practiced at Ashtanga Yoga London. Joey, the instructor that day, gave me the same ankle bone squeeze in post UD paschimottanasa. I had the same “Eureka!” reaction you did and use that adjustment on my students now. London’s gift to the ashtanga world.

Hi Karen. Read it. Loved it. Yes practice with others in a new surrounding must be grounding. Hugs, Arturo

I miss you, too!

Helen, Epsom salts are just magnesium salts. I’m not sure how it works (I’d google to find out right NOW if I had a better wifi signal…) but they relieve muscle aches. God, now I’m dying to know how magnesium salts affect muscle tissue…

Carry and epson salts get such good press in the cybershala, makes me think I’m missing something. What does epson mean? Loved the paragraph about practice and travel, can totally relate. I love the fact that with Ashtanga it’s so easy to go to almost any major city in the world and just practice.

Cary is a great teacher, not just with the “big” postures like dropping back and Supta K that she has taught me, but with the subtle things like touching the inner ankles in forward bend as she did with you. If it hadn’t been for Susan I would never have found her.
