8/13
Sauna
Taught yoga; snuck some movement screen in. Followed up with rotational stability correctives and presented asanas which brought awareness to the core. Students tend to see the placement arms and legs in the final expressions of an asana. What needs to happen is to feel where the anchor is in the body so that they can enjoy both the lightness and the strength of the postures. Often I will find "other jobs" for the hands, such as holding a block or curling the thumb inside the fist in an effort to integrate the core and get students feeling how the posture feels from the center rather than having them make it look like what they think they see as the final expression as illustrated on the cover of a yoga magazine.
