There was a distinct disconnect between the soft slow music and the teacher's soft mellifluous voice and what she was asking you to do. It seemed to me like this. Read this in a soft, slow, soothing voice.
Gently raise your right leg forward and place your foot behind your neck. Now on the left. gently raise your left leg forward and place your left foot behind your neck. Feel that gentle pull on the muscles. Place your hands in the praying position. Look up at the sky. Now tense the muscles in your right buttock and move your right buttock forward. Now the left. Now walk around your mat using only your butttocks.
Well it seemed like that to me. I think they should forget about waterboarding and send terrorists to body flow class. they'll sing like canaries after they've been in the triangle for a few minutes.
When I wrote the above I thought I was making it up, but evidently I wasn't.
We had to do a pose similar to the bottom one yesterday in class. While balancing on our butts we had to close our eyes and hold the pose for three minutes, it was really hard!
ReplyDeleteI hope it wasn't TOO similar!
