I get a lot of hits at this site from people looking for information on yoga for amputees and others needing to adapt ordinary practice to suit altered physical circumstances. I would love to see more information about this topic available on the web, so last year I took this picture of myself in what I think of as "Vrksasana (Tree Pose) pruned" with the goal in mind of actually putting together a post detailing my own practice. This is not that post.
It will probably be awhile before I get to that post, a long while. I'm going to have to get a lot better at photographing myself in these positions. Oh, and I need shorts that don't have holes or gaps in areas I prefer to keep private.
Happily, other people are picking up the slack. Mrs. Kennedy-Onassis -er- I mean Elastigirl has even recently addressed this topic over at the inimitable Yogabeans. Go now, and laugh until it hurts.
(Don't tell anyone, but you could actually learn some yoga over there, too.)
(Oh, and BTW, the bulldog puppy is here.)
(P. S. -- Esteemed correspondent Jana does yoga, too, and she has much better outfits.)
(P.S.S. -- Incidentally, Mr. Molchan, who taught sophomore honors English at Rolling Hills High School until sometime after I graduated, used to call parentheses "schoolgirlish." It's been thirty years since he did so in my hearing, yet I still think of him saying it every time I use the fool things. I'm not sure what I had for lunch yesterday, however. And I have absolutely no idea who was our homecoming or prom queen.)
