Interestingly so, I too started to practice hatha yoga pretty early, I think I was 10 when I saw a book by Indra Devi in a bookstore. It depicted a man in Shirsasana, and I just had my mother buy it. I still remember the main 10 exercises of her routine, and I still do a reduced part of it, 52 years later. That was most probably some memory of past lives, such an early interest. I went on practicing harder and harder postures until I was able to do some very hard ones, similar to those practiced by circus guys. I was 18, then I lost interest in specialized Hatha Yoga when I started the SRF energization exercises and meditation.
