6/24 TT
Today is led by Ben. He starts the warm up already bring in many poses. Again, focusing on Universal prinicpls. So already beging generate heat for ppl. In lecture, today's topic is standing poses.
*why standing poses is fundamental in yoga practice. It bring strenghth, stablity, sense of balance, wake up the mind, bring self confidence. The most important is to bring prana flow, it helps on Apana vayu. With widening pelvic floor, where generates prana. Also bring your breaths more into your body! That's why Ben said the legs connect with breathing! With nice inner and outer sprials, you could acctually breath better!
*Tadasana. From Iyengar, you could find Tadasana in all poses!
*Ben's adjustment on the neck in Trikonasan is new and nice to me! Because he mentions, ppl have wrong neck position, ususally is not with neck, it's with tight hamstrings, hips, shoulders. So his adjustment will be asking student really extend the back foot down, from there with balance act of inner and outer sprials, then bring chest to open, and then neck could easily come to nutrual position!
*questions about how much kidney loop is enough in WII. In WII, the spine should be nutural, meaning maintain natural curves, so have to find the subtle balance.
