Thanks for the compliment - full expression looks exactly the same, just with the back leg straight. ;-)<br /><br />Pranayama - ok this will sound wicked obvious once I actually say it, but the trick is that you have to breathe faster/stronger as your lung capacity improves. Like how Bikram says your lungs are 2 glasses of water that you are filling up, and by doing pranayama, you make the glasses grow bigger. If the glasses are bigger, and the time is the same, then of course you have to pour the water faster. So you really have to WORK to make sure you are using your full lung capacity in whatever time you are given, cause you STILL want to take in so much air that you get dizzy on the inhale, and push out EVERY last drop on the exhale. Just a thought. :)thedancingjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08976806717306797444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-293128322275014537.post-49502116010131720312009-04-30T08:02:00.000-07:002009-04-30T08:02:00.000-07:00Thanks for the tips!

I'm still running on its momentum.<br /><br />I'm waiting to see if Hannah knows the answer - if she doesn't tell you, then I will. :) Hope you guys are not annoyed by my Socratic method!

I could pretty easily extend the breathing out to 10 counts or more.<br /><br />The other tips are really good. I'll give them a try tonight.<br /><br />It sounds like it was an amazing day.Duffy Pratthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05160837024667969180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-293128322275014537.post-59769153950504681062009-04-29T12:44:00.000-07:002009-04-29T12:44:00.000-07:00A few pictures exist.

Here's a question that was brought up: what do you do when it is easy for you to inhale and exhale for 6 seconds, and you know that you COULD breathe for much longer? I got this answer right but I'd never heard it discussed explicitly before. (Hint: The answer is NOT to breathe slower than everyone else! Haha.)thedancingjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08976806717306797444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-293128322275014537.post-46954830371625666052009-04-29T05:10:00.000-07:002009-04-29T05:10:00.000-07:00Awesome tips, J.

Will definitely keep them in mind during class tonight, especially the one about pranayama, because I've reached a pose in that pose where I need something new to focus on. Can't wait to hear about Sunday! Did you take any pictures of the posture clinic??hannahjustbreathehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08359736052522439643noreply@blogger.com
