There’s a pose I didn’t teach for five whole years.
Not because it was advanced. Not because it was risky. Just because I didn’t like it.
Firelog pose—also known as Agnistambhasana or double pigeon—was my nemesis. Every time I practised it, I’d feel tight, stuck, awkward. So I quietly left it out of my teaching, class after class, year after year. And because no one asked for it, I never questioned it too much.
