DON'T SKIP THE ABS OF THE HP PROP WORKOUT DVD!

If you skip past the opening core-strengthening sequence of my HP Prop DVD, you do great dishonor to the intelligence and long years of choreographical perfection that results in the hallmark HP Yoga physique, focus, and energetic development. Skipping over the opening 17 minutes of the DVD screws up my Pre-Fatigue Check Dam, a device so that you don't hurt yourself while doing movements like the Compression Lateral Flexion movement shown above.
It has come to my awareness, that some of you HP Prop DVD Warriors are attempting to Skip past the opening Abdominal Sequence. I have designed the DVD so that you cannot just jump past this critical opening 17 minute sequence. This is for your safety. I choreograph the intelligent strength fitness of my exclusive Prop Workouts by pre-fatiguing certain elements of the core so that when we enter the dastardly fun middle section choreography of the workout, you don't rip your paraspinals, intercostals, and other assistive musculature during spinal twists, lateral flexions, backbends, etc. If you skip over the opening 17 minutes your phasic musculature will be too strong for your postural muscles and you'll either hurt yourself, mar the optimal and renown HP Yoga training effect within the various body/mind levels, and what's worse is that you continue thinking like the mainstream; like there is somewhere "better" you should be! Trust me. Don't skip the opening 17 minutes of the Prop Workout; ever. Either do JUST the first 17 minutes, as i suggest on the DVD, or do the FULL PROP WORKOUT. Don't just try to do the second half of the Practice; that is predictably Western, Type A thinking and that is a fine way to get yourself hurt.
Accept the Prop Workout Teaching fully, genuinely, and, well, sweatingly!
i bow to your Devoted Prop Workouts! Nothing like em!
namaste,
