Not yet.

Okay, I have to admit to watching “The Tudors” (kind of compulsively, truth be told). I am fascinated and horrified by the contrast between the highly mannered court scenes and the brutal torture scenes. And now that I have a mental image of someone on the rack, it has given me a new perspective re: my props.

  1. Ha! I was thinking of asking you for suggestions on kapotasana shoulder opening, but I see it will require major construction! :)

  2. :-) It’s hard to think of things that really reproduce the effect of the actual posture. I feel pretty pleased with my prop solutions, but I suspect some of Susananda’s bed hang exercises would also do the trick. That said, though, I sure do like building props. In fact, I have some thoughts about using the rope wall for a dwi pada assist. I’m at the preliminary stage, where I think about the things that could go horribly wrong & weigh the risk. It hearkens back to rock climbing days…

  3. it’s nice to see these pictures. i see the humor in your post, but you look cute.
