Yoga Instructor Training Class - Week 1 Day #2
The yoga training today introduced us to the Sanskrit of the sun salutation sequence.
Tadasana - Mountain Pose
Urdhva Hastasana - hands up
Uttanasana (Standing Forward Bend)
Ardha Uttanasana (flat back)
Chaturanga (Lowing)
Urdhva Mukha Svanasana (Upward-Facing Dog Pose)
Adho Mukha Svanasana (Downward-Facing Dog Pose)
?? (Step to the front, go all the way up)
Anjali mudra (prayer hands)
Sama Stiti (Stand and balance)
It struck me when Dan said that Sanskrit is coming from the ascent and speaking the language is like vibrating with the past. This is really amazing what he said as it allows me to have a deeper view of these words. I appreciate them more and want to know more about them.
We were also doing some hands-on adjustments. The down dog adjustment was really amazing. I will definitely do it in my teaching.
We also need to write some notes about our yoga class today.
1. Breath work was cool
2. I felt the energy of the class slowly go up, to the peak and come back down.
3. There are a lot of terms to remember.
4. Spend some time on the matt by myself after warm-up to get to know more of my body.
5. Ommmmmm - After the warm-up, the om sound is a signal for the class to begin.
