July 11, 2010: On the Board at Good Life Yoga
Recess Redo or “Play it again, Yogi…”
It’s summer and we are feeling rather light-hearted and playful at Good Life Yoga. Last week we indulged in some summer time fun by creating our own classes. In a round robin fashion, each student chose the next pose from a select section of cards placed in the middle of the room. Not only did they choose the pose, but in some cases how long or how many we were going to do. Anyone remember the 30 chaturanga push-ups selected by Puck? Or how about the volume and duration of hand stands back to back? And then there were those who chose lots of hip openers for extended lengths of time… Reminiscent of recess when you just made up games and played – we choose at Good Life Yoga to remember that life can be recess at times and so some of us have to ‘practice’ letting go and just playing.
Perhaps we’ll add music this week and a few more variations on our ‘play cards’. See you soon for play time Redo!
