Guest guest Posted March 15, 2000 Report Share Posted March 15, 2000 Bonnie, Thanks for the prior post of encouragement. It is so nice to know that others are cheering you on! I find myself holding the breaths a little longer than Rashelle, and it seems to be fine. I think that some positions are more conducive to achieving that really strong " gasp " at the end of the breath. I also think that we have to hold our breath a little longer, because it takes us longer to get to that part of the breath, since we are still learners and are concentrating on getting the first part of the breath correct. It seems to me that it would be just fine to place your arm where ever you are able, in order to get your leg stretched to the opposite side. Besides, even if it's a little less than optimum, which I'm not sure that it is, there isn't much chance your arm is gonna grow anymore, so go for it, anyway you can! Have a great day and continue to breath whenever you think about it! You're doing great and we are all very proud of the steps toward success that you have made!

I REALLY like it!!!!!!!!! I just have a question for Rashelle and any others that can help me here. On a lot of the positions after the pah and getting in position, it seems like you only hold for maybe a count of 3-4. Are we supposed to hold longer? Seems like I don't get a gasp as I'm only holding for a count of 3-4. I know you, Rashelle, are so used to your breath and the workouts but I was wondering if after pahing and then only holding for 3 or 4 seconds will be enough for me? I really don't get much of a gasp. I do however really love the positions and you are so great Rashelle. Oh yeah, also, on the one where you out your arm under your knee and pull, I have very short arms and legs and can't get my elbow under my knee!!!!! Is it OK to just put my arm under as far as I can? Will I get the same benefits or do I need to do a different position there? Thanks for any help you can give me. Thank goodness you guys are here. Please know I really do appreciate ALL of you.
