So his class was cancelled and we took The opportunity to go to the intermediate class on the second floor with Souchma. She is a short, stock, strong looking woman with direct and clear instructions and a kindness and gentleness about her. I have observed one of her classes and it was a treat to take her class today. Like I do, she instructed us a couple times to smile, to soften the face and neck, yet to work hard in other areas. It was fun and, despite the fact that every pore was sweating, I am so glad I went.<\/p>\n
The theme was “chest up, look forward, extend the side torso” and she did a great job at repeating instructions and using techniques to link that action through the entire class.<\/p>\n
Here’s what I remember of the sequence:<\/p>\n
Swastikasana, forward bend, head up, lead with chest<\/p>\n
Baddhakonasana<\/p>\n
Tadasana, urdhva hastasana, palms facing each other, palms forward<\/p>\n
Uttanasana, hold toes<\/p>\n
Adho Mukha Svanasana, one leg up, then the other<\/p>\n
Adho Mukha Svanasana to urdhva Mukha Svanasana 2-3 times<\/p>\n
Parsvottanasana<\/p>\n
Prasarita paddotanasana<\/p>\n
Trikonasana<\/p>\n
Virabhadrasana II<\/p>\n
Parsvakonasana<\/p>\n
Ardha Chandrasana<\/p>\n
Parighasana<\/p>\n
Supta baddhakonasana<\/p>\n
Dandasana to concave paschimottanasana<\/p>\n
Bend knees, hold toes, straighten legs<\/p>\n
Janusirsasana<\/p>\n
Upa vista konasana, turn right and forward bend<\/p>\n
Rolling! We rolled from supta urdhva tadasana to paschimottanasana<\/p>\n
Then we rolled to salamba Sarvangasana and to halasana. I love this rolling! So fun!<\/p>\n
Savasana with a rolled up blanket to support the spine and head<\/p>\n
