I understand J's question though - how is it supposed to feel physically? I hear its more a pose of balance and fearlessness than anything else which has since inclined me to get my butt higher in the air but the possibility that my face may land splat on the mat is not a welcoming thought. <BR/><BR/>But yes, its true what you say - that how you approch a pose effects how you feel when you get into it - often I feel dfferent things depending on the kind of day I've had. <BR/><BR/>Still, that is a great picture you posted though.Rafleesiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11525800883682932588noreply@blogger.com
