Thanks also for the clarity on menstruation. So important for women!! If you watched this and you're like 'oh sh*t my period is much longer than 3 days', look into yoni steaming and also like John said, start honoring your cycle and become very aware of where you are throughout the month :). When bleeding, honor the downflow of apana. I don't do anything that needs bandhas the day before my bleed as well to welcome these 3 days of release. Thanks John and Stu

Always wonderful interviews. How interesting the part about the length of breath in certain postures in Suryas. I thought no one is going to talk about it ever. I practice without teacher since I live in Serbia, just from your KZfaq videos and I realized that I am choking, losing my breath in Warrior postures and also in Upward Dog, that I need extra breaths here, and I just can't wait to come to Downward Dog (the 5 breaths) to compensate and sort of rest. I don't know what to do with this, I try to follow the "rule" one breath-one move, but I see that it leads to holding the breath, gasping, stiff breathing. Hard to learn without a teacher... If only John is somewhere nearer...

Thanks for explanation of various inhale/exhale dynamics. Perfect timing as "this old bod" remembers late 70's, 80's alignment style yoga (hatha). Challenged by Swedish instructor to practice short, daily (ashtanga?), poses for one year which brought post industrial accident relief. Serious dedication and practice now required. Can one commit? Visualized improvement for myself so as to enjoy perfect "let go" transition (preferably decades from now `:

Namaste . Interesting you use TM as an analogy . As a TM Sidhi meditator I see very little correlation as I have also practiced Ashtanga Vinyasa for awhile . There is no concentration in TM ; There is transcending relative states of consciousness to higher states of consciousness . So blissful . Ashtanga Vinyasa beautiful but too physically focused . Thank you for the perspective 🙏💜🕉

l think the practice during menstruation should be analyzed by each woman who practices. lt can be different for everyone. Some woman prefer to take the break, cause they suffer with pain. l practice Ashtanga for 7 years now and started to ignore this rule, not out of stubbornness, but because my body asked for it, the practice makes me feel better, stops headache and avoid the cramps. l just do the practice even with more conscience during it, especially with the steady breath. l do it with the bandas, never hurtted, never had problems.

Ashtanga vinyasa is amazing physical practice but specifically in regards to the subtle body and mind, I'd highly recommend studying some form of traditional tantra, whether buddhist or hindu, to get a better understanding of the full picture. There seems to be a lot that this tradition is unaware of.

That is really interesting to hear Women cycle for Indiens last 3 days and I always thought something is wrong with me because my period last for 3 days. I am 46 to find that out now, no Gynecologist said anything about this to me before, what a strange western world sometimes.

That why, the mind is the one who make time, when it is diving into the body, it loses the concept of time and enter in the space of no time, where the body live. The time is made of memory, the mind try to live it, repeat it every single minutes over and over until it tired and get another awful memory infinitly until end the life. Mind is the torturer of all human, nobody is able to live full life in the earth.
