It is beyond my imagination, how anyone can do this and still keep a rather "relaxed" look on your face. You must have practiced that for a very long time to hold such a challenging pose with no visible sign of effort... not talking about veins and muscles, they of course have to do their job.. its the "attitude" for lack of a better word.
Don't know if it was the intention of the photographer, but it almost looks, as if the red light wants to keep you from grabbing the top of the church tower and take it off, like some kind of lid ;-)
Hahaha...thank you my friend. 🤗 oddly these poses do trigger an almost immediate relaxation response for me. Ive practiced them thousands of times. And you practice only going as far as you can into the pose and still comfortably breathe. So yoga trains us to function in difficult positions maintaining breath awareness. The goal is to then live that way through the rest of you life interactions, but some days I still get triggered by stress, forget how to breathe, and have experience major moments of stress and panic. And so I keep practicing...
