P.S. We can't say enough about this incredible course. Neither can your fellow teachers:
"Now I just float into handstand"
Mary McGovern
Yoga Teacher, France
"I usually do handstand against a wall. I tried it the new way you suggested and it was great. The legs just floated up, and I was able to stay in the pose longer, because I wasn't adjusting so much from the kick-up. It felt really good to do it that way.
I also tried the Wheel pose as it was done in class. Wow! What a difference, there was practically no weight on the arms at first. I was really surprised. I usually lift my belly button toward the sky, but this way definitely kept the initial weight off the arms, so that I could ease into it.
I'll continue to experiment. Thank you!"
"New approaches transform familiar poses"

"Wow! The new approach to pincha mayurasana is my absolute new favorite practice!!!!"
"Truly integrate your body & breath"
Paula Pliakas
Yoga Teacher, New York
"Leslie I just want to start by saying
thank you! You have made wheel become a whole new enjoyable experience for me. It is so much easier because my body and breath are no longer fighting each other. I still struggle with it but I no longer think 'Oh great! Time for wheel, can't wait for this to be over.' I'm actually excited to continue to work on it.
Thanks for sharing all the cool stuff with us."
"Enlightening Techniques for the body & mind"
Agnieszka
Alboszta
Yoga Teacher, Oregon
"Thank you for teaching me how to use my arms and shoulders!! The techniques you showed us are truly enlightening in both the mental and physical sense!
Wow… the arms don't actually have to feel like lead? The shoulders don't have to feel as if they're bearing the 'weight of the world' in arm balances? Amazing!
I've practiced
headstand several times and am now much more adept at getting into it in the new way. The arms are stabilizing me more (but not feeling overburdened). This week, I was able to separate the hands and lift my head up to scorpion without too much effort.
Thank you for opening these poses to me. It's a tremendous gift! And thank you for a stellar 9 months of learning along with the great group in your studio!"
"Get excited about sharing poses again"
Wendy Snongjati
Yoga Teacher, England
"I have always loved the Wheel but now I'm crazy about it. I love the way you brought us into it. I have tried it with my students already because i just couldn't keep it to myself. They got it and loved it too.
What great fun. Thank you for sharing all these wonderful tips and
knowledge. What fun my students will be having!"
