I am so freakin' proud of my kids (students/patients)! Yesterday we had a pretty full class again..10 people. THe energy was alive and kicking. No major physical injuries, and everyone was feeling good...so we kicked it up a notch. We warmed up, did some Sun Sals, then started doing this awesome sequence of asanas...I had out my Meza book of sequencing...but didn't even use it. We did a ton of ab work for our solar chakra from boat to table with ab crunches. Then I was feeling frisky and we all tried the 3 leg table to down dog. First with one leg, then with one leg and one arm pushing up from table to down dog!! Everyone tried it, a few toppled over. It was awesome though! Ok so the sequence if I can remember went something like this: War 2, triangle, extended side angle, goddess, reverse other side. then war 2, extended side angle bind* - other side. Feeling even more frisky at this point because every single one of my kids got the bind!!! ON BOTH SIDES!!! I told them how it took me forever to get my right side!! I was a proud mommy bear!
After that I asked them to find a partner to help spot on this next one we were all going to attempt. I demonstrated Bird of Paradise. Emphasizing the slow and steady approach..go with the breath. take your time, focal point, bend the knees...So, everyone tried it AND GOT IT!! HOLY COW BATMAN! I told them they were all freakin' ROCKSTARS!!! we did both sides, then forward bends. 5 minutes of free style from head stands to tree to "yoga pushups"..then savasana..it was an Amazing practice. I wish I could have captured a picture of my 10 Marine Yogis doing Bird of Paradise...It will forever be with me. They all are amazing people. I am so blessed to have the privilege to be their yoga teacher.
Namaste~AM
