I've been playing w...I think I've got it! <br />I've been playing with this concept for about a week. I've been wondering why using my anterior deltoids affects the lengthening of my back. So, I tried in forward fold many times. Then I tried in seated forward fold etc. Today in happy baby's pose it hit me: The anterior deltoid is connected to the humerous and the collarbone. In a bizarre fashion, it is a lever. The fulcrum is the shoulder joint. When I pull on one end of the a.deltoid, the other is lifted. This motion in the front opens my heart. When I am folded over, the heart opens to the rear and voila- my back lengthens.

It’s absolutely true that working with the muscles creates a cognitive shift into a meditative state with the asanas.

Having these smaller profiles (here) helps to explain/underline concepts in the books and are very beneficial. I have recently begun incorporating theses ideas into my personal practice: the focus improves posture, concentration and awareness. When I can let go of the words and just zero in on the muscles/motions, the meditative aspects of practice are deepened as well as the physical. I look forward to introducing my students to your work.

I was never taught anatomy or biomechanics as a young dancer training and it is still not very common today. For stretching it was always just grit your teeth and bare it, eventually you will get there, leading to a few injuries that continued with me through my professional career. The information i am learning through your books is just amazing and i cant wait to share it with all my dance students.Sabrinanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4312247198139313019.post-17771521922316249792011-01-17T19:07:39.886-05:002011-01-17T19:07:39.886-05:00Hi guys, i love your blog. i get a few different ...Hi guys, i love your blog. i get a few different yoga emails/newsletters and i have to say this is the only one i ready from start to finish and over again! its great, the information is clear and easy to understand and something that i can take back into the yoga class.

A plus for my beginners who get hung up on touching the floor or going deeper, faster. This helps me explain the process and provide verbal instructions to keep their minds involved in the process, besides just grabbing thighs and hauling themselves over.

I have a concern, however, that you are giving these instructions to the general public without pointing out the risks.<br /><br />The Pelvis you are showing is in 120° of flexion more or less and the abdomen and quads hitting each other works as a good mechanical stop, but with a tighter person capable of only 90° or less this manuevre would put considerable strain on the lower lumber discs. That body type of practitioner who is also an overachiever should definitely learn some strong contractions of the Transverse Abdomonis in order to mitigate this strain. As well as understand what the risks to "deeper" could be.<br /><br />Perhaps a dose of cautionary advise would be good since you aren't necessarily aware of the level of who will read this?<br /><br />Excellent books nonetheless.Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05413199845932901845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4312247198139313019.post-13051078237770100392011-01-13T09:18:16.746-05:002011-01-13T09:18:16.746-05:00Thank YOU !
