Yoga Journal #9: Man Teaching

Taught Warr Surya Namaskara A and Surya Namaskara B last night – he did SO well – am so impressed! It is quite difficult teaching someone who is so tight because it is much harder to make adjustments on a body that feels locked – or at least there are less adjustments and more modifications. He did so well thought and I’m so thankful that he is game for me to teach him.

It’s definitely beneficial to have someone to teach who has no concept of yoga – so that I can learn to be more mindful of exactly what wording I need to use. Most of the people (all of the people) in the yoga training class already know where to place their hands and feet in space and pre-empt the words before they come out.

Did some sun salutations this morning A and B and then tried working through the standing sequence – spent some time last night working through the sanskrit names – they are all so similar that it can be a bit of a muddle – but I think I am slowly making headway and getting to grips with it all!
