More Yoga; Thursday, Second Period [08/17].

[died8yearsago]

"Well," said Rosa, "here we are, in our last class of yoga, which means we've got one last chakra to cover, and that would be Sahasrara chakra, also known as the crown chakra. This chakra is what links us to everything that is beyond our individual ego and sense of self. It lies beyond our intellect, our personal needs, our preferences and emotional experiences. The gateway to enlightenment. All that heavy spiritual crap.

"Sahasrara means 'thousands' in Sanskrit," she continued, "referring to the thousands of petals on a lotus flower, or something, and each petal is a different aspect of being. Emotions, thoughts, actions, all that stuff, so the idea is that when all those petals are open, there you go, perfect, complete balance. Allegedly. It's color is purple or violet, and its element is related to consciousness, which is apparently an element now, who'd've thunk it?

"So today," she concluded, "we're actually going to end off with a new sequence of moves meant to open up the crown chakra, so you can add that sequence to your repertoire with the sun salutation. Still warming up with that one, and then we'll learn the crown chakra sequence, and then you can finish off with whichever you prefer, and that's all she wrote. Hopefully I won't ever need to see any of your faces ever again."

Charming, Rosa. Truly. But was anyone really surprised?

Come get your sun salutation on! You could probably do it in your sleep by now, but don't do that, that defeats the whole purpose of mindful practice, you dummies.

The sequence will introduce a variety of moves, which Rosa will go over and demonstrate before leading everyone through a few rounds of the sequence, and then letting everyone off to do it on their own.

This was an awfully tricky series, but Nell did her best. Except for the handstand. That was a bit beyond her at the moment.

More sun salutations, or just a few more crown chakra sequences, or just do whatever the hell you want, it's your cool down. Just don't blame Rosa if you don't do it right and your muscles hate you for it later.

Nell was happy to cool down, stretch, and just corpse pose for a while after all the head chakra m moves.

One last chance to annoy her!

Unless you take one of her next classes, anyway.
