Mula Bandha – Now I get it!

I have literally been hearing about the importance of the bandhas for years. Every yoga class, every strength training core class, every pilates class, trainers talk about the bandha in lots of different ways: “engage your mula bandha,” “squeeze your pelvic floor – lifting it,” “hold that muscle like you’re stopping your pee!” I thought […]

The importance of knowing your body and the fun of knowing others’!

This week in YTT, one of our theory afternoons was spent learning how to analyze a body and diagnose which skeletal and muscle problems are present. Of course, two hours is hardly enough time to truly learn to identify and ‘fix’ all issues, but it was a great crash course on beginning to understand this […]

ytt200hr journal week 3

Week 3 zipped through right by too quickly. I truly treasured the time we had to practice mindful yoga and having Jessica correct my alignments, especially after learning about the skeletal scoliosis and kyphosis, i did feel a little more in-tuned with the body. Despite moments of frustrations from the bi-polar left leg v.s. […]

头倒立体会

头倒立体会接触头倒立其实很久了，来上RYT200之前就有练习过。一开始靠墙练习，很快可以上去后一直不能离开墙。来RYT200 开始几节课发现很多同学都可以做，心里有些着急，不知道自己什么时候才能不靠墙。后来老师细致的教了方法，从手指到脚趾每个部位该怎么做都讲到了。根据老师的讲解改正了自己的姿势后发现可以慢慢的找到平衡了起来了，但还是不能保持。老师讲很多时候不是身体没有条件上去，而是潜意识里害怕摔下来所以告诉身体不要上去，我觉得深有体会。虽然不需要借助墙，但是不对着墙练习时总是不能保持体式，也更容易摔下来，面对墙时就比较稳。体式考试时虽然还是选择对着墙但是离墙比较远，坚持了三分钟，下来以后自己觉得蛮开心的。 2018.09， RYT200 周末班 liyao

Astavakrasana 体会

Astavakrasana 体会（2018-10-06）今天能做起来但是十分不轻巧。感觉有下面几个原因：1. 外面的手不会夹紧身体，试了很多次但是臀部一离开垫子身体就会像伸腿的方向滑，导致外面的手臂没法顶住肋骨附近，2. 臀部没有自主抬高，有点依靠身体向下倾斜来抬起臀部，3. 可能上面的腿收的还不够，所以不是很直，4.腹部不适十分收紧，不稳定，这一点和臀部没有自主抬高有关系，我想如果下腹收紧，那臀部就容易太高而不至于向下坠。5. 起来以后注意力可能都在手腕手臂向下推的动作，应该更注意核心和收紧。 2018.09 RYT200 周末班 Liyao

Week 3 of YTT: When You Realise that Balancing on Your Head is really about Balancing the Body and the Brain

Even though I’ve played a lot of sports – basketball, martial arts, skiing – yoga (and even more so, teaching yoga) is a whole new different game. When I was playing sports, my body just have to respond. When I was working, I sit behind a computer and use my brains, so the rest of […]
