Of course, I'm still practicing. However, I hardly ever go to yoga studios anymore. I find my teachers on YouTube. I learn from books. My pictures are always very helpful. Every hour on the mat is an opportunity to learn.

To diversify my practice I change the focus from time to time.

For the next few months, I will focus on splits (forward and sideways). There are very many variations. Hanumanasana stretches the hip flexor and hamstrings. This in turn helps improve the backbends.

The Ashtanga yoga series give me a sequence, but I change it as needed. I integrate exercises. Some postures I replace with easier versions or more difficult ones. I use a timer to hold challenging postures longer. Repetitions also help to get deeper into positions. Every day is different and an opportunity to explore your own possibilities.

Every Friday, in the Ashtanga tradition, we practice the first series. I also practice according to this. The 1st series means above all forward bends. Between the asanas I practice light backbends to make the series a little more balanced.

I wish everyone a lot of joy while practicing.
