May 9, 2010: On the Board at Good Life Yoga
Midline Redoux…
The midline theme from last week hit a chord with many, many students – a chord of recognition, power and freedom. This is the glory of the Midline: your direct access, or axis to your connection with yourself, earth and sky. There is a sense of wonder, excitement and joy when you trust in your power to hug in and assume the greatest energy you are capable of in that moment. Because of your joy and wonder we are ‘redoing’ the Midline theme…
You can’t get too far down line with the Midline theme before you begin to hear other familiar terms like, ‘focal point’, muscle and organic energies. The juice of the Midline is a balance of muscle and organic energies. The focal points are central power centers where you ‘plug’ in and out from to encourage the greatest flow of energy.
There is so much to play with here. Last week we concentrated on arm balances and for good reason. Accessing the midline is absolutely fundamental to practicing effective and fun arm balances. This week we offer the Midline Redoux with a few arm balances and then move our understanding of the midline into other familiar standing balances poses before cooling down with forward folds and hip openers. A Midline Fest so to speak at Good Life Yoga this week. And if you’ve been really digging this theme you should strongly consider coming to the, “There’s no Place like OM” workshop on May 22…for what is the vibration of that magical Midline? That’s right…”Om is where the heart is…” see details on my website www.goodlifeyoga.com
