Can You Do This ???
This is a yoga pose called gomukhasana.My fingers don't even touch each other, let alone the hands grasp.
It is somewhat frustrating.
So, I am curious; can you grasp your hands behind your back?

I want to know if I am the exception to the norm.

Yowsah! That hurts just looking at it.
I cant even reach my hand behind my back, old joints and all that I guess!
No, not even close. I want to start studying some basic yoga, though.
yup. can do it. It helps when I'm putting suntan lotion on.
I can't even come close to that. I've been thinking about taking up yoga. Wanna be yoga buddies?
Got it! It did take a minute though, I had to lock the fingertips together and pull which took a couple tries.
Now my left arm hurts!!! Thanks a lot Michael. Oh...you're an MD...what do you recommend? heh heh
Rodger, what you need is a deep tissue massage, or hot stones.
Get that man of yours to pamper you a bit tonight,..
Are you kidding me?!!! This should be illegal. Right up there with gay sex! (**he smirks**)
I'm lucky to be able to grasp my hands together in front of me! LOL!
To anyone who has that degree of flexibility - God bless you! Go for it!
Hey Michael!
Yes I can do that...it's an awesome stretch. I'm excited that I'm getting back to where I was 3 years ago with yoga. I practiced twice this weekend in Vegas, along with running/walking - yes, I had a great time!
I can do it. It took a moment, though.
Spo,
I can do it! Didn't know it had a special name or was tied to Yoga. Of course, I am the Bhagwan and gomukhasana just sounds like something a Bhagwan does.
But does one really NEED to do this? Not the best of parlor tricks or conversation starters....
Bhagwan Bill
I can grasp finger tips doing it left hand under and right hand over top, but only when I'm really warmed up.
well, I still can't do it, so I will keep trying!
do I look like I have Inspector Gadget arms?
I'm with Lemuel: I'm lucky to do it in front!
interesting idea, though, internet yoga club!
keep stretching!
I can touch fingertips, but only if my left hand goes back over the shoulder and the right arm comes in from the side- the opposite from what the woman in the picture is doing. I injured my left shoulder out at the Fen a few years back, and have never regained the mobility that I once had in that arm.
I've always been able to do this, and the splits, all three ways, so I think I might be double jointed or something, perhaps I should start taking yoga classes? Will it help me get rid of this gut that's still hanging around?
I can do it and it feels good!

Hey!
I can do it!?
Might not need yoga after all!?
Lemuel, add that to my resumé
LOL
Guess I really need someone in my life!?
LOL
OMG. I can't do that! I have do it while gripping towel :(
I didn't have any problem doing that.
Sure I can; I think you've even seen me do this, haven't you? Feels great!
