Yoga Classes with Nathan
Monday, September 6th, 2010Ashtanga Practice Notes: Jump Back and Float
Wednesday, August 4th, 2010
Category: Physical / Ashtanga / Yoga
Difficulty: Advanced Beginner to Intermediate
Best For: Ashtangis, Int. Vinysasa Students, Teachers
The feeling of “float” that is an important component of various transitions during Ashtanga Primary Series can be difficult for beginners to access. Picking oneself up from seated, lifting one’s own body weight, and swinging back during the seated series of poses in Primary Series can be called a Jump Back (Grimmly shown above in the first 20 seconds). A correctly executed Jump Back has a moment of float in it.
Yoga, Gangsters, Power and Teaching Peace
Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010
Learning from a teacher who truly understands his/her subject gives me insight into the real meaning of power. To see some masterful teaching, check out this site: http://mathforum.org/dr/math/ They won’t teach you yoga. They will teach you math. (And I nominate Dr. Peterson for the Nobel Peace Prize.)
In the movie Road to Perdition the gangsters seem to have trouble with math. The inclusion of this detail suggests that learning opens doors which otherwise might be closed. Those who don’t have know-how, support and encouragement can wind up feeling they depend on the likes of Mr. Rooney to survive (and we see where that leads).
