Jean-Marc	i have an elbow bursitis (i am not sure how i got it) Any recommendations: should i stop my practise for a while or avoid certain poses and if so which ones? Many thanks

Yesterday, the squeezing was painful to me. Do you have any idea what might influence this kind of reaction? Many thanks. Cynthia J.
Brigit	What is the best way to transition from chair pose to crow pose and badha konasana to corpse pose? Thank you
