| My gosh - there are so many ways to do this! You can do most of the standing poses with your back to the wall, or with your back foot at the wall or even lying on the floor with your feet on the wall (using the wall as the "floor"). You can do many with your front body on the wall as well. Ardha Chandrasana with just the back foot on the wall is fabulous. Give me some more info and I can give you more ideas  |

| i dont know if you know this one or not, but my teacher sometimes did the baddakonasana (cobbler's pose) while laying supine and with the toes against the wall. the toes were bent back so that the pads of the toes were touching the wall, and the soles of the feet were still otherwise together. Also we would roll a blanket up and place on the spine all the way to the end of the thorasic spine, and then fold the top back so that it serves like a pillow. then we would stay there for an extended period of time.
WAIT!!! YOU ASKED FOR STANDING POSTURES!!! Sorry, i didnt realize that until after i wrote this, but i hate to delete it. It was such a nice practice.

| B - still, I like that version of supta baddhakonasana. I use it if I am away from my props. |

| thanks, I'm looking for postures (using the wall) that could flow from each other. After doing pasasana at the wall, what would be a good posture to follow without leaving the wall? Also half moon at the wall, and so on? |

| ...the options are endless.

| groovelite - 2007-05-27 10:01 AM Does anyone have any new ideas for some standing postures using the wall or do you know any good links? What are the old ideas you already have? I'm not being difficult here, but it is a bit tough to answer your question the way it's phrased. |
