Re: my 1st class in planet yoga
re: 1.5hrs asana & pranayama by arya
4 sets sun salutation
inculding me, 8 persons only.
only me has done sun salutation & om before.
other 7 ppl are new to yoga as arya asked whether we have done sun sulatation & om before, they all raised their hands & arya was so suprised.
some poses i think is a bit diff for those who attend 1st traditional yoga class:
single-legged down dog
side plank
shoulderstand
halasana
5 beats chaturanga
fish pose (straight legs)
pigeon pose
basic knowledge for protection is not enough
didn't mention any bandhas
didn't teach students which muscle should we use.
maybe indian instructors used to do some basic postures & didn't aware should teach new yogis step by step. it takes time for them to know some ppl are really don't know what yoga is & it's their 1st time to do asana. i think arya will discover it sooner or later & adjust his teaching method. in fact, it's a beginning class.
i have learnt too too much basic skill in physical & myoga la~for me, of course i don't want him to teach too much basic skill la~~
but i can't be that selfish.
it's great for me. i didn't aware time slipped so fast for 1.5hrs. i enjoyed 4 sets sun sulatation which from easy to diff level. it was slow so tat i can have enough time to let my body more relax & went into the poses deeply time to time. arya's eng is relatively good & he's so nice & funny. it was also a 1st class for him in tst branch which he didn't know how to turn on air-conditioner. and he didn't know where the phone was. so i phoned to counter & let him ask cs to come to turn on the air-con. before the cs came, there was abt 20 mins. we were all wet & he joked ,"ok, we r doing hot yoga now. u all like hot yoga?" we all laughed~~
better a witty fool than a foolish wit
