I learned this supported version of Urdhva Dhanurasana (upward bow position) with senior Iyengar teacher Carrie Owerko last time she was here at California Yoga Center.
This version builds proprioception and self-trust as you literally feeling like you are hanging on at the edge of your life but with a quiet and relaxed sense of alertness. That is what I love about practicing Iyengar yoga, it always takes me to the precipice to see the grand view of life without ever falling off. It's a daring endeavor this journey inwards. And I've barely just begun.
