yoga positions

With all the repetitive movements involved in making pots, I had developed some nagging issues in my back, shoulders, elbows and wrists. Osteopath visits were a regular in my schedule and were costly. One of the local yoga teachers offered a trial course of Iyengar yoga [all about alignment] for free on a platform beside a river. How could I resist? After a couple of postures, my back was breathing a sigh of relief and I have been hooked ever since. I was getting a barrel firing together a couple of weeks ago and decided at the last minute to try a few sculptures of people in yoga postures.
