The expression of this pose (bound side angle 📐) with the connection of my hands behind my back and around my leg, is not something that I always can do.
At one point in my life I strived for this described “advanced” expression: for the challenge, the look, the desire to “do it right,” let’s call it ego.
I hadn’t been able to clasp my hands like this for a number of months.
My shoulders, wrists and neck have been weaker and tighter than other times, which presents issues in the form of pain, numbness, and grip endurance.
I have been very dedicated to solving these problems as they have negatively impacted my life.
Dedication in the form of daily practice, including specific strength and mobility exercises, stretches and self massage, while actively engaging the help of other practitioners, at minimum weekly for the fall season.
The results that this picture represents are in the strength and openness I feel, and the absence of pain and dropping things.
I gained back mobility and strength in my neck, shoulders, and wrists by following a protocol that I know works.
I disciplined the habits and environments to stay committed, including a level of egoless witnessing the process of being present with my body as it is when I am.
I am not done, and I look forward to doing the work because I developed the methods of practice and environment design that also make the work enjoyable, not just worth the result.
A personal practice is personal, but I am a co-creator, drawing from the guidance and knowledge of my teachers, peers I have sought help from, and 2 decades of developing these practices for clients, family and friends.
If you want to do stuff that you can’t currently do, or you want to feel a way you don’t currently feel, I am here to help you create the life you want to lead.
My minimum daily practice is now 6 minutes, (often 20-90 minutes but 6 is my minimum)
I started with 2 minutes/day minimum.
