Mon Assisting Wanda

Starting with centering using the breath to bring everyone into their own body.  Opening and working the shoulders and arms to bring awareness to the shoulder girdle and avoid hiking of the shoulders.

Worked on Triangle and Revolved Triangle, Half Moon either on the wall or free in the middle of the room. Then everyone when to the wall to work on the more advance position of half moon which is where when facing the wall bending the lifted leg and holding onto the foot allowing the back to arch and the quad to open. Keeping the hips facing the wall is always the challenge with this position however, the wall is a great teacher.

Inversion this evening was prep work for those that do not do the forearm balance. Getting the feeling of the forearm work and the feeling of lifting the leg.  Yogi’s and Yogini’s that have a forearm balance in their practice did the full posture and worked on refining the pose.

A few twists and forward folds closed out the practice and a good one it was.  Well done everyone.
