I had to get on the floor and try this. I can get my knees and feet on the ground behind my head, and then I tried to inch them closer together. Ouch, I think I pulled something.
Your site is a treat! Really enjoy it.
Another fascinating post! This saint must be made of rubber as it appears to be humanly impossible to accomplish such a feat without breaking many bones.
It is truly amazing.
Thanks for this and thanks for coming by Cedar Key DP!

Flexible? Yes indeed. He is flexible.
Thanks for your comments on my blog.
India is indeed a great country, I hope there are many more like you over there, with your enlightened views
Sadhus are amazing! I've seen many in Nepal (more than in India), but never doing such an exercise...
There is so much in the world that we, in America never see or experience.
Your site is amazing to view. Thanks for visiting mine and showing me your world!
That is an amazing form of spiritual exercise that suggests tremendous freedom of the soul!
Now that is some SERIOUS flexibility!
A very interesting post and a great shot.
Thanks for coming by to see my post and you comment.

A fabulous photo and what an amazing feat for the sadhu to complete. I really enjoyed Varanasi and felt the spirituality that exists. It is a unique place and there are so many photo opportunities. It is a place to stay for awhile. I am glad you enjoyed the photos on my site. I look forward to more photos on your site as well. I very much enjoyed my time in India.
holy moly
This picture is very beautiful and gives me a great joy!
Thank!
I think I'll take up yoga. But I'll say like you, amazing!
thanks for coming by our blog and we love yours! so interesting.. we are hoping to get to India next year!
Is this Sadhu having bones....Joking. It only happens in India. Nice shot....Keep up the good work friend.
He can do yoga so well, very as in sooo flexible!
Wow. I can't get one leg to do that yet alone two.
Intriguing yet slightly disturbing too. Just my view from the far north.
This is just amazing!! They must have a great concentration power. Actually I thought they were doing yoga all the time as a way of praying...
Quite simply, that would kill me.
I will have to work out a little
WOW your blog is wonderful indeed sharing the richness of India I love this one it speaks volumes. Fabulous works
