...When the movement of our breath itself supports us, we can stay in back bend if we want, continuing to open, continuing to find deeper and deeper levels of strength and release (the intention I believe behind Iyengar yoga), or we can let the spine fly as a single breath sends us in whatever direction we chose - the point is, surely we need to have choice.
It seems to be the kindness to allow our limitations, and the patience to listen to the breath without ambtion that invites radical change to our structure. These days, anatomists, body workers and yoga practitioners alike are beginning to understand this.
