What is the meaning of the word “strong” for you?
I used to think of strong purely in the physical sense of the word. Who could run the fastest, lift the heaviest, climb the highest. I have huge respect for people who can accomplish these physical feats, but over time the “strength” that I really admire is a bit more subtle.
I see “strength” in those who get on the mat day after day, those who manage to juggle the complexities of life while maintaining a practice. Or perhaps those who fall away from the practice and find their way back, despite it feeling much more difficult than before. Those who incorporate aspects beyond asana into their life, and try to the best of their abilities to commit to a yogic life.
My ✨Strong Start✨ to this year is a commitment to keeping my practice a priority. It mightn’t be glamorous, and often will be short practices at home, full of distractions and loveable cats!

I almost always have to reset after tittibhasana A, and bring the feet out wide initially. Then it’s a matter of scooting my legs over the shoulders and in towards the middle of the mat, with a bit of external hip rotation. At the same time, I’m using my hands to roll the calves out of my way so the shoulders can get behind the legs.
Once my legs are in a position where I’ve really got the shoulders behind the knees, then I bring one hand at a time around to bind. Only after I bind do I bring my legs out wider to get them as straight as they’ll go, and then go for a walk!
If the bind doesn’t happen, I’ll bring my hands back to the back of the legs to see if I have room to deepen the fold, and try again. If it still doesn’t happen, I usually hang out in that prep position rather than using a prop like a strap to get the bind. The strap definitely works for some people to work towards the bind, but for my own body, focusing on a good setup and prep pose always brings me back to the bind (though it may take weeks, or months! 😅)
How is this pose for you?
To whom... That’s the question. When there is no body left for whom the body can be a burden, then the body isn’t a burden. But so long as you fight it, it is.
— Alan Watts
Why is there always the whisper of resistance to this pose, when it mostly feels pretty ok?
What is the fear that is coming up?
I won’t share with you my answers because they are very personal, but when I say it was like a lightbulb going off in my head the first time I realised why I feared eka pada sirsasana 💡!! Seeing those thoughts, working through them and learning from them has been quite literally life changing.
Yoga is really never about the poses, is it?
This method can be applied to the yoga practice too. Slow, deliberate movements with attention to the breath and drishti hones the mind and the body. Rushing through the practice to do as many poses as possible is (in my experience) an inefficient use of time and only creates chaos. Giving each pose and breath the time they warrant leads to stability, flexibility, and ease.
