"My beloved child, break your heart no longer.
Each time you judge yourself, you break your own heart.
You stop feeding on the love which is the wellspring of your vitality.
The time has come. Your time. To celebrate. And to see the goodness that you are.
You my child, are divine. You are pure. You are sublimely free.
You are God in disguise. And you are always perfectly safe.
Do not fight the dark. Just turn on the light.
Let go, And breathe into the goodness that you are."

~ Bapuji

Kyudo - Way of the Bow 1930s (by Blue Ruin1)
The Yumi (Japanese Bow) is an asymmetrical longbow over two metres in height that is traditionally made of bamboo, wood and leather, while the Ya (arrows) of this period have bamboo shafts with eagle or hawk feather fletchings. Practiced for centuries as both a Gendai budo (Martial Art) and a form of Zen meditation, the sport of Kyudo is still widely studied throughout Japan.

Parshva-Bakasana

I always feel unsure about posting corrections, ‘cause I’m not trying to be a dick and sometimes different schools and yogis have different names for asanas, but according to B.K.S. Inyegar, this is astavakrasana. Parsva bakasana, or side crow, is a very deep twist with both knees resting on top of one of the arms, with legs extended, split, or tucked in like in bakasana, as in: Astavakrasana and Bakasana variations both require a lot of abdominal strength (and both are assisted by engaging mula bandha and uddiyana bandha), but bakasana variations, in their fullest expressions, generally aim towards straight (but not hyper-extended) arms. Straightening the arms is possible in bakasana variations because of the lightness in the hips and pelvic floor that comes from the engagement of the bandhas and core muscles.
Astavakrasana is generally a little heavier in the wrists because your arms maintain a chaturanga-like bend with the elbows directly in line with the wrists and bent at a 90º angle, however the similar core and pelvic floor engagement should keep you from sinking into your wrists.
Just for knows :D
