6/11 TT

Today was led by Ben. Topic is Organic energy. This is the balanced energy of Muscular energy. I like the way Ben discribe the active and passive organic energy. Active organic energy is like star shining out, or like volcano explosure. Passive organic energy is like while you split a class of water on table, the water will spread out naturally by gravity or the shape of the table.

--Asana practice is not much, but work on a lot of dwaw in and extending out!

--we check on the elbow problem, like some have carrying angle problem. The adjustment is not the same as hyper extension. Teacher has to look very carefully bfr adjutment

-- head stand: focal point is upper palete, because head is weight bearing, not arms or shoulder. But while against the wall, body tends to lean toward wall so, it's f point is heart!

--Placement of head at headstand: Iyengar style adapts 12 fingurs wide from 3rd eye to top of crown (Sirsa). While Anusara style adapts 7 fingurs width, more closer to forehead, to creat a nature cureve at the back of neck!

--Finding Focal point: in Cobra, F Point is pelvis, coz if think about organic energy, it's hard to extend from heart to feet, it's better extend from pelvis. Bakasana, is heart! Vassistasana is pevic, coz heart is in higher position, and legs work to maintain balance. Wheel pose, is heart, heart is more weight bearing than pelvic, also pre into handstand, so it's heart!
