Svana Asana
A big thank you to my friend Andrea Panzer for sending me this video of Svana Asana.
Notice that her toes remain on the mat unlike in my photo on the sheet.
My friend Andrea Panzer, who took seminars with T. K. Sribhashyam over an eight year period, has just started her own blog on Sribhashyam's teaching. Andrea is outlining guidelines to practice that I will quote on my own guidelines page at the top of the blog.
