Monday night was everyone's favorite (even though you won't admit it!) - core work. We were looking to plug into those transverse abdominals - take a look on Google for more information than you'd ever care to know about the TA. Be sure during the practice you imagine your spine pressing into the mat, like leaving a footprint.
Walt Whitman provided tonight's quote: "I am large; I contain multitudes".
Anti-slouching tonight! My favorite pose is the second one drawn, "spine mobilization". Lay across a pool noodle, placed just below the shoulder blades for 3-5 breaths and then sit up for 3-5 breaths. Repeat a few times and then just roll the noodle to the next vertebra down and repeat again, as much as you'd like. So delicious.
Quote for tonight: "So, if you stop trying to make yourself into more than you are out of fear that you are less than you are, whoever you really are will be a lot lighter and happier, and easier to live with, too."
-Jon Kabat-Zinn
