Jan 3rd, 2012. WoWee!!!
Eleven mighty souls ventured a bit deeper inside today with breath and alignment focus. Reminders and re-adjustments were made. It's a skill to learn how to observe ourselves.
Standing in mountain (tadasana) is a fantastic practice in alignment, checking from feet to crown (reminders to consider in every posture). Line the feet hip distance apart with outside edges parallel. Lift and spread toes laying each one down from pinky to the big toe. Imagine gripping a ball between the knees to engage muscular energy to hug in. Lift quads enlivening the rest of the legs. Lower tailbone while noticing that your low, deep abdominal muscle activates with that move. A very core muscle to support the pelvic floor and the bodies balance. Elongate the spine by lifting out of the waist. Broaden the collarbone bringing the wing tips of your shoulders towards touching on the back. Actively reach the fingertips down by your side, elongating the neck from top of the head. Chin should be parallel to floor .... and it begins?
No matter how rough the waves are on the surface, if you dive deep enough, there are no waves, just stillness!
Thank all you warriors of yoga for coming and giving so much of yourself to your practice.
See ya next time ....
On a yoga journey to better understand myself and to live more balanced in my authentic being. To be grounded and always growing, to share with and care about others while living the flow of life. That is my inquiry!
