Today's practice is at Sanieh's 6 pm vinyasa flow class. She tied in the current events of the inauguration of new president elect Barak Obama with being "open". These are not her exact words but my interpretation. Openness in the heart, openness to opportunity, etc. So we focused in backbends and hip openers.
We started with a few sun salutations. Then we did Dancing Warrior 1008. It was created by Shiva Rea. Dancing Warrior 1008 is a series of asanas that connect together stretching, backbending, opening, and strengthening the body. Starting in downward dog, plank, cobra,
downward dog, side plank but with lifted leg drawing back toes contact the floor, draw lifted leg under chest then through to the other side, press down and up in chaturanga dandasana, then back to center for scorpion in downward dog. Place knees together and lower down into cobra.
Next we "rested" in one-legged pigeon prep. There was meditation afterwards and a free practice time where she encouraged twists. Yay for pigeon!
