Yes, i know this pose, dear Claire,
it's very uncomfortable, is my experience,
and on a personal note, extremely difficult, to
do, AND, multi-.. checking out if there are cute girls, in the ;)

But you know, feeling the sensations, afterwards,
makes it, ah, sue me, orgastic!

But you know, I love yoga, but if have have to do it all by myself, I only would do the Tibetans..

;)
Love, Passion

Hi Claire! Thanks for the reminder of what I learned during your session at the Instructor Retreat two years ago. I'll 'stay tuned' for more. It's springtime in Chicago and your tips are needed to help me loosen up that spine for the upcoming golf season :)

All the best, Jeff
