I am so tired

Bikram yoga tip of the day: Janushirasana with paschimotthanasana head to knee pose with stretching pose. Once more time we are confront the concept of failure as the first option, not the last or final option. If you are big bottomed sweep the excess flesh away form your sitz bones, ( note this is not a bikram advice, this piece of advice comes from  the internet and I can not find the cource.)  Feel your bones grounding you. Use the pressure of the bent leg against the extended leg. Make your spine as tall as possible. Kee your feet straight, all 5 toes even to the mirror. Rotate your leg musles to flatten the feet. The rest of this posture is beyond me.

funky class day 10

Day 10- Funky Door Haight Street. 

 
 At the end of the class my ears were hurting from the volume of the amplification sytem. Amplification, and lots of personal instruction equals conflicting instructions in each pose. The instructor gives out lots of individual instrution OVER A LOUDSPEAKER. Otherwise, good class. Like the size of  the studio room. I started my Bikram Practice years ago.  The florescent lights are a minus.  I do truly enjoy a bright studio. Teacher gave a two minute infomercial during the savanana between standing and floor series.  Relaxing, not so much. Met my eyes in the mirror in Tulandasana - Balancing stick pose. I can hear my spine stretching in this posture.

Yoga Tip of the day: Arda Chandrasana half moon pose. Let  your exhale deepen each posture. Alignment first and foremost. Keep your chin and breastbone lifted. Keep your weight on your heels.

On a Wing and a Prayer

Room to breathe. Use the throat to draw the air deep down into your lungs. Ignore the crowded room, lack of space and stay with the breath. Always with the breathe. The lack of space may inspire you to fly away. There is energy to be gained forma crowded room.

Yoga tip of the day. Poorna Salabhasana. Move in one piece, as if you are unfolding your joints from your spine.
