Morning practice yesterday was themed for backbending, but I have to admit that I kept confront my resistance for backbending. It took me so long trying to overcome this, but I guess there are a lot more need to do.
Kapotasana is the one that I keep resisting practice. The foundamental reason is I don't feel well when doing it, not mention that I "can't" even make it to full pose. One major truma I have with this pose is one teacher ever push and pull me rudely into this pose, which made it sooo pianful and frustrated afterward. I felt totally a loser...
I guess all this made me keep resisting from the practice for this pose, so I also don't know Ustrasana and it's variation to move to Kapontasana. So I didn't even finish my practice yesterday. I know I have been much better in other backbending poses, I know my body is more ready now, in terms of my thoratic spine and my shoulders are more felxible. In stead of my back body, the problem now lies on the front body, my psoas! It must still be tight. Psoas is one of the core muscles, which record or withholding some emotions in our body. As far as I know, maybe the car accident at the age of 8 may have it's toll. I stayed in hospital for half month because of the percussion in the head. I can't remember anything at that accident. So I guess may be at that time I was just totally relax into this accident, all the reaction maybe just out of spantaniety. So maybe my psoas contracted and never release from this protection.
This is just my plain guess, and maybe to justify my resistance toward Kapontasana. I know it would take time for this practice to release and relax my psoas, so I could make it further into Kapontasana. Thanks for the obstacles I faces, so I could really look into my body, my fear!

在瑜珈錯誤的身體模式會被放大
膝蓋過度伸展 膝蓋超伸的問題,常常被忽略,或者很多人根本不知道自己有這樣的問題,甚至覺得超伸不是問題... 很多人有骨盆前/後傾或下背疼痛,肋骨外翻問題,都一直在調整髖或脊椎,殊不知膝可能才是根源問題~ 膝蓋超伸長期以來會帶來膝蓋韌帶及軟骨的損傷,更一路影響到髖,一路到下背、...

若是以運動的觀點來看瑜珈,Bandha中文翻作鎖印、能量鎖、收束或身印,這在其他運動中沒有的,這也就是瑜珈獨特,甚至看似神秘的特質。Bandha這個字譯是鎖(Lock),要鎖什麼呢,其實就是將能量鎖在特定的位置,以人體來說可以鎖在腹腔或胸腔,甚至頭腔,讓能量prana停留在這個空...

禪柔(脊椎螺旋運動)這兩年改變我的練習很多, 也重新調整我對身體的認識及應用 可能是長年練習瑜珈的印記太深, 剛開始接觸禪柔時, 會感覺身體有某些部位或動作會抗拒或遲疑. 越練習越能理解, 身體的某些桎梏在崩解, 或某些塵封的角落在被喚醒中 當初在學習禪柔時, 多是實作,...

你都是用「收下巴」來調整頸椎或頭的位置嗎? 在瑜伽課或是健身時也常聽到的「收下巴」這個引導, 老師或教練的用意應該就是把頭帶回來順位, 但是這個指令是有效的嗎? 瑜珈界的 #喉鎖 及 #喉輪 喉嚨的位置是頭顱和頸椎的交界點, 在瑜伽裡有所謂的喉鎖(Jalandhara Ba...
