Double Yoga

November 16, 2009 Yoga Session 19
Monday Week 12

Todays yoga class was really a workout and im not sure if it is because we did double yoga with a partner or because i have been incorporating some of the yoga advances that the other instructor taught us to do last wednesday.

Double yoga was really cool we did alot of stretches with a partner!!! It was nice because sometimes we cant bend that far and they pushed us. One of the coolest ones was when we did the double downward facing dog, although i did not get to see when Sharkie demonstrated it because i was the student she was demonstrating on. But people started clapping and after when i looked around and others were doing it, it looked really awesome but i did now know how to set it up. The other cool one was being sat on while in childs pose because it really opens up your hips.

Another really cool thing that happened today was that i was finally able to do the upward bend other wise known as the wheel. It did hurt a little on my muscle on the upper back of my legs. But it was really cool to do and i have noticed that my balance and flexibility is getting stronger.

What i love about the wheel is that i have never been able to do it and now i can finally. It opens the front of my body alot and stretches out the back of my legs, i am not sure that its suppose to be liberating but it definitely is. I cant hold it for ten seconds but maybe five.

Today we also did a breathing relaxation at the end. we started breathing in through our right nostril and breathe out of the left nostril and back and forth and definitely relaxed me.
