			<link>http://yoga84291.yuku.com/topic/4209/t/Ashtanga-Minor-Injuries-causes-and-cures.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ Hi,
<br>
<br>
I have been practising Ashtanga for a couple of years now and have begun suffering from two chronic injuries over the past year. One is to my knees (especially
the left one), the other is pain in my upper leg, close to the sit bones but not in the hamstrings (its not sciatica because the pain is only in one spot
during forward bends and doesn&#39;t travel down my leg).
<br>
<br>
I&#39;ve spoken to my teachers who say, just keep practising it will go away but it doesn&#39;t.... ]]></description>

			<link>http://yoga84291.yuku.com/topic/4144/t/colitis-and-ashtanga-yoga.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ Hi, does anyone know if its advisable not to practise ashtanga yoga if you have mild colitis symptoms? I am 3 months into practise. I have had a return of mild
symptoms since starting and they have not abated. I read on the one hand it&#39;s beneficial but perhaps certain asanas or locks should be avoided?
<br>
<br>
Any advice appreciated

			<description><![CDATA[ Hi
<br>
<br>
I&#39;m based in London but am encouraging a Brighton-based friend to sign up to a beginners Ashtanga course.
<br>
He&#39;d need to start with a class during weekday evenings (works in office 9-5) and / or weekend days.
<br>
Lives on the Lewes Road but has a car.
<br>
<br>
Can you recommend a good teacher - and one that would inspire a blokey-bloke to get involved?!

			<description><![CDATA[ Hi,<br><br>I am starting to do the second series now. At the moment I still do the first series and then add the poses from the intermediate series up to Kapotasana. When you do just second series (or part of it), what do you do before Pashasana? All standing poses including Uthkatasana and Veerabhadrasana? Or just up to Parswothanasa? How do they teach it in Mysore? And how many Surynamaskara A and B?<br><br>Thanks! ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ While bouncing around on the net, I've noticed here and there some yoga "co-operatives" where it's basically friends meeting somewhere to practice together with or without a teacher. They each contribute some money for the space rental and meet regularly.<br>My question is, is this a good direction to go in once one has had some practice with a teacher under their belt? Except for the sometime absence of a teacher, it sounds very much like "mysore style" practice.<br>I am very attracted to... ]]></description>

Any idea what I did wrong? I do 4A/3B, all standing and primary to JanuA. Then I skip to finishing. I guess this is a really open ended question, but I never hurt my lower back before and I'm wondering if there is a specific pose that I could have done really wrong to produce this.<br> ]]></description>
