My head can touch my feet today!!! This is the first in my life, I could land my head on my feet in Kapontasana!! So happy!! Of course, this time I got help from John to keep me rooted, and i could just reach to my feet and then my head touch down!! And the most exciting thing is, I don't feel pain, and it wasn't that difficult as I thought... I was so happy and share my happiness with John and gave him a thank you hug! :)
For such deep backbend, John made us do some prep, thigh strech, cobra, airplan. In Cobra, John ask us to have our dristi like following a spider crow up on the wall. And with plams draw backward. These two really help. I feel I do a lot more in cobra and Dhanurasana. And only a bit disconfort at my neck, no pain at lower back! Great, I think all these prep help me in Kapontasana! Now, what i need is my leg power to help me really root down to rise up!! I am on the half way to complete one of my new year resolution! YEAH!

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... -
接續上篇, 寫於在台中的翻譯工作之餘之..... Matthew老師其實是個帥哥... 之我要進入主題----> 這次Mattthew Sweeny的Ashtanga work shop 可說真是”鴉撒細”啊! 所謂”鴉撒細”日文中的大部分人所知道的意義就是溫柔，但是也可以...
