Yoga; Thursday, Third Period [06/16].

"So, the last few weeks," Rosa started, rolling her shoulders a little, as well as her head, to sort of get herself in the yoga mindset once it was time to get started, "we've been going over some of the limbs of yoga, the conceptual stuff, but since none of us are about to reach samadhi in a seven-week summer course, we're going to go back to focus on some poses today and see how some of you do with some more intermediate poses.

"We've got a wide range of abilities in this class," she noted, "so I'm sure some of you will struggle with these while some of you could do them in your sleep. The former, I want you to just focus on understanding the poses and how they work and just doing them. The latter, work on refining the poses and just focus on your pranayama and pratyahara. We'll start, as always, with our sun salutations, and then we'll get into the new poses to work on."

You should know the steps of the sun salutation pretty well by now, maybe without even having to think about it. But you still should, even though it's familiar. That's the whole point.

Rosa's going to take some time to introduce everyone to the boat pose, the bow pose, the dolphin plank, the eagle, and, for the more ambitious, crane pose.

Choose one or two to focus on (or work through all of them if you're a more advanced student) and see how it goes.

With a new sequence this week! Follow along, stretch those muscles you've just put to work, and then call it a good day.

Hopefully. This was assuming no one, like, snapped their back in half or anything.
