Sequences for this afternoon.

I asked    Laurie to give me  poses to make into a sequence.  In that Laurie  didn't want pictures posted on Facebook, I'm not  going to post the  poses she gave me here,   but as luck would have it  it includes Kurmasana.  


I can think of  three possible options.



Here is what Devon is  teaching.  Don't know about Deb. 

Jr III sequence for Devon, March 2016  (50 min.)

6 poses, but a seventh added for an even ending if possible.

1.   Pincha Mayurasana,  9’

a) palms down

b) palms up

2.   Sirsasana II  3-5’

3.   Dwi Pada Viparita Danda without chair,  10’

            a) first time with elbows supported against a wall, with feet on 1-foot high support if props are available (viparita karani box or non-shaking setu bandha bench)

            b) second time, away from wall with feet on floor, knees bent.

4.   Setu Bandha dropping from Sarvangasana I, and hopping up again, two feet at a time 8-10’

5.   Parivrtta Janu Sirsasana  8’

6.   Marichyasana II as possible 6’

[and just to end things symmetrically for the next person, or before savasana if I am the last one to teach]

7.   Paschimottanasana 1’-2’

It Takes a Village Take Two; Free yoga For Mock Assessments March 4.

-->

Hi Austin Yogis and Yoginis,

Anne  is planning to do  Junior  2  this upcoming assessment season and Devon is planning to do  Junior 3 in the not to distant future.   Deb  Johnson is a student of  Peggy’s visiting from South Carolina.  She’ll be in  town the  first week of  March  so    we thought it would be  a great time to  do  the first of several mock assessments.

We’ll use the Friday  advanced practice time  with an earlier  start time and a slightly later ending time

The classes are free.  You can sign up for 1, 2 or  3  sessions.   

Let  Anne know at  Anne_marie_Schultz@baylor.edu  which  sessions you’d like to attend.

 You do not have to be injury free. In fact, at this level, we know we’ll have students with injuries  or  with conditions like menstruation or pregnancy.   We  could use   6 or 8 students in each session,

Friday   March  4   

3:45-4:35   Anne

4:45-5:35   Devon

5:45-6:35    Deb

No practice this Friday

Hi All,

No practice this Friday,  Devon is still a bit under the weather,  Mary Melissa and Anne and  Peggy all have other commitments.


Melissa will lead  next Friday (her first advanced practice, come support her in that  endeavor!)

Anne is  up the first Friday in March  and  we'll have first friday dinner  following. 


Keep practicing.   

Mary is leading 4:30 Friday
