Yoga Anniversary

Bob Crowther (64) begins his sixth year of yoga activities today and reflects on his enhanced back bending abilities. 

My long and productive association with Ray Hoyt and The Yoga Loft community has provided many opportunities to address debilitating limitations to move my spine backwards.

Experiencing No Pain Or Discomfort

Unable To Move This Way 5 Years Ago

I have attended over 1200 yoga sessions (both open classes and one-on-one partner meetings) during the past five years.

Along with my now daily home practice, all these activities have contributed to a greater range of spinal motion backwards.

Whole body yoga movements involving back, neck and other major, minor muscle groups have led me to become stronger and more flexible.

Frequent practice of various asanas including pigeon, camel and bridge have led to enhanced spinal mobility.

Assisted upper facing bow movements and back bends at our studio wall ladders shown below have led to an overall improvement of movement.

Yoga, making better nutrition choices and reducing my weight to levels last seen during high school all contribute to serve as my primary health insurance. 

Various back muscle issues are addressed through my yoga practice and massage without using any medications.

I have been fortunate having Ray Hoyt and Patty Tremblay as talented, gifted instructors.

Yoga Benefits From Partner Poses

Bob Crowther, 64, comments on the value, saftey of one-on-one partner poses for males and females of all ages with or without yoga experience. 

Yoga asanas facilitated by a partner have become an invaluable component of my yoga practice and have contributed to my in ioverall progress.

My instructors have encouraged participants in open yoga classes to communicate with their partners before applying gentle pressure to enhance asanas within their abilities.

I have been participating in frequent one-on-one partner yoga sessions (often three times a week) with an instructor approaching two years.

Doing many different asanas from standing, supine, prone, kneeling and sitting positions have led to my further mobility and enhanced yoga abilities.

I have introduced partner poses selectively and safely to his clients with positive outcomes.

Gentle pressure applied by a partner in different asanas contributes to experiences not possible when done alone.
