Kumari de Silva replied to Editor Yoga Vidya's discussion Alternatives to inversions because of inner ear problems"These are all good alternatives - I am wondering why there must be alternative asanas.

Thank alot Silva for your reply........ I am just new with the Yoga and stuff and was really looking for some great advice and thank for providing me the appropriate suggestion. I would try and find one Power Yoga teacher near my place so that I may do it perfectly. However, I do agree with you that the pain must not stop me enjoying my Yoga Sessions ......... there is a saying "No Pain No Gain"
So nice of you to spare some time to reply to my message........God Bless
