I attended a Tuesday workshop on methodology and practicum today at YVT. It was during my Seniors class, and sure enough, 4 seniors arrived for regular class! They had been away so did not get my message that class was canceled for that week.
Asana is sometimes referred to as "seat". As in a "seat" for meditation. Grounding, rooted. Ready to meditate. We practiced for about an hour, trying different things. Kathy asked us to think about how our mind wandered or stayed focused during practice. And did we wonder about some of the "easy" postures? Most of the time, they would be setting us up, getting us ready for, something that took more concentration and effort.
We did a lot of backbends. Tried different things like "pushups, jumping, holding legs up. The funny thing is that I was too tired from class the night before. I really wanted to try the handstand into back bend and back over...but my body just said, "NOPE!" so I assisted others.
Assisting handstands to backbends. TWO PEOPLE. As the person goes into handstand (legs bent) and coems down, guide them gently down, but allow their own force to bring them over. Then, place one hand on their back, the other on their hamstring. Then give them the "omph" to get over. Throw their legs if necessary.
We broke up into groups talking about the 21 day experiment and another talking about asana.
I spoke about the insurance options that I researched.
Saturday we'll get into some anatomy stuff.
