    wow... am i the only one who thinks his yoga instructor was being incredibly irresponsible in introducing him to such advanced moves when he could barely stand?

    he is incredibly lucky that he did not do himself further serious damage during one of those falls.

    as someone who HAS been injured, who spent 2 years with limited mobility, who had 3 surgeries to correct it, and who has recovered without falling over once, i would like to add to this video that recovery is possible without putting someone at high risk of further injury.

    i'm angry with the yoga instructors who turned him away, but i'm more angry that this instructor was so arrogant that he put someone else at risk.

    I see your point, but this was a video filmed over 10 months. We don't see a step-by-step of what the instructor gave him from day 1. Who's to say that the instructor gave him those very hard moves straight away?

    I saw some of the easier moves earlier on, and the standing on head ones later. I'm assuming that he built up some basic core strength before attempting those, as there's nothing to suggest otherwise.

    Great video OP, thank you for sharing :smile:

    So I finally got around to watching this...

    All I can hear now is that little voice in my own head saying "what's your excuse?"

    Thanks so much for sharing and hats off to that remarkable man.

    I'm really, really, really glad I watched this today. I'll also be showing this to my kids...everyone can benefit from watching such an inspiring, determined man reach "unattainable" goals.

    Thanks for posting this.
