Princess of the Dance.
Still don’t get who she is, having never seen her in anything…but I get that she’s huuuge to a lot of girls.
In any case, Lord of the Dance? Not the easiest of poses. Count me impressed:
With thank yous for the tip to Yogadork (…via Egotastic).
Photo of me with the mysterious shoulder-only—that’s all she would modestly allow—of the more-or-less-anonymous Yogadork herself at last week’s NYC Yoga Journal conf, below. Yes, that’s our idolette Seane Corn in the background, with our friend Kasey Luber.

Way, where is my photo credit for lining up that bottom shot? I hit that shoulder perfectly, bro!
Just posted to "Featured Today" on the Elephant Yoga homepage.
What is she 18? I could contort my body into any pose at that age too as can a lot of 18 year olds – especially if they have danced. So not that impressed, but the shoulder shot!
whatever…I know 60 year olds more flexible than I and 13 years olds that can't touch their toes…it's not age it's discipline and if they have danced it's serious discipline.
Ok. Good to know. I am still not impressed, but ok if others are.
she's one with the om.
Ask her out, Waylon!
For certain poses alignement is a matter of safety, no? I think the exact/final pose is something we work towards, but to do it perfectly, we first have to practice and do it not so perfectly; sometimes, you can do it "perfectly" but a variation feels great. Doing what feels right on the moment and being one is why we practice first isn't it?
I find what's funny about the whole adjustment thing === is I have had teachers INSIST on certain alignment only to find out they weren't exactly right…or at least not for everybody. Triangle is a prime example or half moon… I have been seriously injured by teachers thinking they are "doing me a favor" …. it's judgement and ego as far as I've been able to tell more often than not.

Good calls. Still, tough pose. Where can she find you for a class? ~ Way
Judgemental much?????
I was thinking similar things on this pose…until I noticed sumpin: http://www.elephantjournal.com/2009/12/uh-wow/
Seriously! I was sort of awed by it. Rock on, Miley.
I talked about judging a yoga pose, this same one as happens, and I judged in in same ways as Kimberley, above…on another blog…then corrected myself: http://www.elephantjournal.com/2009/12/uh-wow/
Waylon, Thanks for posting that link! What does it matter if your poses are perfect? Yoga is about connecting with spirit and being happier. I hate yoga teachers who make their studens feel like crap by constantly making adjustments and saying "you'll thank me for this later". Happiness is more important than the health of your SI joints IMHO! Rant over
Amen!
