This week we worked on Reverse Prayer Pose, a very difficult technique for some of us. Greater success is possible using a Wall Rope.
In this video, Mr. Iyengar demonstrates Tāḍāsana Páschima Namaskārāsana around 12:00. Please note how far his shoulder blades travel out, to accept the hands and how much they return to open the chest. Starting around 15:00 he gives further details. For those of you unable to do it, please practice Tāḍāsana Páschima Baddha Hastāsana or holding above the elbows in back while in Tāḍāsana, demonstrated around 11:00.
A simple way to install Iyengar Wall Ropes is by purchasing Over the Door Hangers from Yogawall.com and pre-tied ropes from Yogaprops.com. If you would rather tie your own, watch this how to video.
12′ of rope is likely necessary to do the knot and have a long enough wall rope. A second way to tie one’s own is using a double Triple Fisherman’s. Susan G. Clark has a much more detailed video on YouTube on how to do this second knot.
