yoga in the air













This story is unusual to me at least, even though I am an architect and yoga practitioner. I was busy doing my work, but at one moment became entranced at what one of the construction men was doing on the building next to the office.

The man at the left, before he did the crouching motion you see here, actually did Parivritta Parsvakonasana in the air, dangling one foot on the concrete ledge and the other on a tube. He did this while unscrewing the formwork, since the concrete was cured. I could not believe it and kept looking at his lunge-in-the air position. I was slow to take a picture of it, but took this one. You could say the one on the right is doing yoga also, Pasasana perhaps?

Here is my stick figure explanation of what he was doing. Later on he was removing the formwork at the top of the building, while leaning his back on the yellow bars.

It's somewhat high up there.

Dear Jaime
Haha, thanks. The guy's antics where giving me a headache. It took self control to not look too much, but when I saw the lunge in midair between a wall and a tube I could not believe it.
Cheers,
Arturo
