Nice work Tyson! Getting into the lotus the first time up is pretty awesome as well.

@pranavayu that is exactly how I use this class, I was just surprised to find myself in headstand after thinking, "what the hell, I'll give it a shot, all I can do is fall over". My profile picture was taken immediately after I finished a lovely savasana and needed to share my excitement at finally nailing headstand. I love this class for the intensity of the stretches and the peaceful vibe throughout so headstand what just icing on the cake! Thank you!

Hey Tyson,

Was your profile photo taken after you got the headstand down? If so, that's wicked cool! It looks like you've been able to do it forever. Glad that the video helped.

It's great that you're using this as a cross-triaining practice! These accelerated videos are designed to help you deepen range of motion while your body recovers from more intense forms of yoga or exercise, so using them in the way that you are is the perfect way to progress. @CrawlingChaos

Oddly enough, though not the focus of this video, your instruction for getting into tripod headstand is what made it click for me and finally helped me master it! Thank you! I love this class for days when I am still sore from intense power classes and the intense stretches really help work through the stiffness of tired muscles.

Oh 17 years!! Fascinating!! Do you believe in someone like who has started Yoga 5 months ago without any instructor or any creditable background of Yoga, Gym and etc... who has started with zero knowledge and stepped up to Advanced level in 2 months in that period? What would you say about this person, David?
By the way I also found you're generous enough to reply for comments here which is very kind of you, because not many Yogis likely do so.

I just bought this video, and really loved the key ways to open up entire hips which is quite suitable for my level, how long have you been practicing Yoga David?
