Re...Yes yes yes to all of you. Love the 26 and 2!<br /><br />Rebecca!! I do not think that Lynn's clinic will be "over your head." Bikram yoga is not like that. There's no reason why you shouldn't be able to understand 99% of what she talks about. A really great teacher doesn't need to use lots of jargon and can explain all the postures clearly even to total beginners. You will have so much fun learning. Now DOING everything, well, that's something else entirely which we ALL have to work on. ;-)thedancingjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08976806717306797444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-293128322275014537.post-27951393796566940262009-11-05T10:36:04.436-08:002009-11-05T10:36:04.436-08:00We are having a posture clinic on 11/15.

Probably over my head though.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15950708667822111984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-293128322275014537.post-80066256056684477112009-11-05T09:29:56.032-08:002009-11-05T09:29:56.032-08:00This is exactly why I love getting with the teache...This is exactly why I love getting with the teachers before or after to go over specific postures.

I was thrilled. Just to have my standing leg locked enough to be able to take the time to the extend the leg ... wow. I love how we are all at diferent places, but growing all the same. That's what's so cool about the 26 poses and everybody being on the same page regardless of where we live, etc.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15950708667822111984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-293128322275014537.post-64133124683227876592009-11-05T07:33:38.287-08:002009-11-05T07:33:38.287-08:00Great post!

The thing I do different is that I don't tense the muscles in my mouth and tongue, i just use the muscles in the throat to pull the head in. It became an enormous difference.Cristinahttp://ahappyyogi.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-293128322275014537.post-82444444374801260032009-11-04T23:40:21.053-08:002009-11-04T23:40:21.053-08:00Wow, I love that you guys both brought up triangle...Wow, I love that you guys both brought up triangle! That's the other posture that I was thinking about strongly when I wrote this.<br /><br />I was reading some quotes on one of the TT blogs a week or two ago, and one guy had this great quote from Emmy. "I feel like a voice in the wilderness every morning in triangle. I tell you push your hips forward and your upper body back. Nothing." I keep hearing this in my head now when I set up for triangle (it is SO Emmy, it just kills me), and it REALLY makes a difference! (And I thought I was doing alright...) Love it. :)thedancingjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08976806717306797444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-293128322275014537.post-55925265880292357822009-11-04T20:58:56.201-08:002009-11-04T20:58:56.201-08:00Funny Charlie should mention setup. The other day...Funny Charlie should mention setup. The other day a teacher was hounding us about the set up. "it's all in the setup!". I've been doing this yoga for two and a half years, but sometimes, I get an "oh yeah, why haven't I been paying attention to that" epiphany and wham! I'm back to basics. Back to the setup and back to the dialog. Just listen to the dialog.<br />Damn I love this yoga! I just don't think I'm going to "fall for" moksha like I've fallen for bikram!bikramyogachickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685444498620345130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-293128322275014537.post-54891289650850393342009-11-04T19:23:39.692-08:002009-11-04T19:23:39.692-08:00During my 60 day challenge I have been focusing on...During my 60 day challenge I have been focusing on standing head to knee. Yesterday, in head to knee with stretching, I was concentrating on elbows down. I need to get my elbows down more in the standing version. <br /><br />Suddenly, there was a shift in my upper back, kind of under the scapula. It's the last place I would have expected a release. <br /><br />I have a student, a really good student named Jen. Jen had something off in her triangle. I would look at her knee alignment, arm alignment, her hips, whatever. I could not figure out what was up.<br /><br />One day she showed up and all was good. "What was the difference" I asked"?<br /><br />Turns out she took Linda's class. Linda adjusted her set up: "hips forward, upper body back, spine straight, left leg locked". <br /><br />We think the difference came from a little bit hips forward in the set up. <br /><br />And, it all changes from person to person too:)Charliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18135251575188382498noreply@blogger.com
