Learning the Boat Pose (Dhanurasana)
Quick article and photo from the Honolulu Star Bulletin and yoga instructors Ray Madigan and Shelley Choy. In this article, they go through the steps needed to do Dhanurasana, or the "Bow Pose." While it may look easy, as most yoga poses go, its not that easy to get it right! Madigan and Choy are Iyengar yoga instructors and direct the Manoa Yoga Center.
And, of course, the article contains the disclaimer that neither the Star Bulletin nor them will be held liable for any injuries from the ill prepared vigorous attempts at yoga. While we here at YogaWisdom want to promote yoga to the world, it always comes with the caution because its not something to be taken lightly. Its easy to cause injury and serious psychic damage, especially in the case of pranayama, if one is not careful and does not learned from a qualified teacher.
