Sun Saluations for the Scoli-Yogi!

These are a variation of the Satyananda sun salutations that I devised. Because scoliosis (and upper back scoliosis in particular) can have a knock on effect on shoulder rotation and back mobility the chaturanga/upward dog or astangasana/cobra versions of sun salutations were always virtually impossible for me to practice properly so I originally devised these for my home practice. After some time teaching yoga therapy I found a lot of people came to me with shoulder issues due to too many chaturangas, so now I teach these as a matter of course.

Enjoy!

Goodness, that was very impressive. I couldn't do that. Not remotely.

If you do come to Edinburgh, my daughter K and I would love to meet you. You might like to wait till they've stopped digging up Princes Street and also solved the bin-men's go-slow, which is not improving the scene either!

I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the layout of your blog?

Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it
better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 pictures.
Maybe you could space it out better?
