Feels good as you get into trikonasana, you hear the babbling brook water flowing down this creek – fresh forest air saturating every cell in my revived body … ahhhh, so yummy. Block prop? Why, every creation of nature offered to serve as our props – all the support you need, you find right here amongst the trees, at the base of majestic mountain. Interesting thing about this Trikonasana – with the guidance of great teacher, Judith, I now can go all the way with my hands beyond the ankle to the floor (SAFELY), my torso, more parallel to the ground – we change milometers at a time; not over night so patience, patience as we practice, practice.
A yoga sequence around this theme is the protocol homework based on the weekend intensive. How to strengthen our immune system this season. Of course, Rest comes to mind but what’s beyond dealing with the rest-deficit? What’s beyond resting and restoring? Yes, need for strengthening. That’s the aim in this particular sequence… given what we learned the past weekend – information overload –
Was wracking my brains out to come up with but how timely. Ironic and yest not so ironic – more yes, timely – I came down with a minor cold so …(too much driving -sitting – drove 7 hours within 2 days) my immune system must be compromised, lol.
Coming up with Asana sequence, Pranayama identification; and centering practice to share with peers.
Then next month is my turn yet again to share my CASE STUDY. (stress? good kind of stress, yes…) Sharing and learning so I can share more with others later on.
Speaking of timely – it is timely as Autumn sequence is all about respiratory system and gut-health. There are so many people I know who outwardly look “great” but inwardly feeling not so great and why? Whether if your BMI is perfect or your weight is perfect and you wear size 4 … are we really really healthy, mind, body and spirit? That’s my purpose – to know how to get that. The state of homeostasis with natural means (which by the way is called “alternative” medicine – alternative? Really???)
OMMMMM
