‘The keyword to understanding Bournonville’s artistic universe is harmony. He knew that life could be difficult and dangerous, but he deeply believed that art has the power to bring harmony to our life.’ Erik Aschengreen, on August Bournonville the Danish choreographer. The fleeting moments of harmony or clarity or union are what makes yoga so endlessly compelling and fascinating and interesting and powerful #yoga #harmony #clarity #union #art #science #philosophy #blackandwhitephotography #leicacamera #documentingwomen

Bound Internally rotating the shoulders still means the armpit and side chest have to lift and the trapezius to move down otherwise the upper back will round and the armpit and shoulder joint close which leads to a lot of shoulder problems - bicep tendinitis, rotator cuff injury, tight traps. Pay attention to the armpits in binding and observe if one feels closed and dark. Opening the hidden parts of the body can have a real and profound effect on the invisible afflictions - anxiety, insomnia, digestion. #yoga #yogaforstability #emotionalstability #bound #shoulders #blackandwhitephotography #leicacamera #documentingwomen

Triangle Pose External rotation of the hips uses the same muscles as internal rotation. As the femur bones and outer hips move back so do the inner groins but the skin of the outer thigh rolls out, the front groins lift and the coccyx presses in but this all has to happen in connection with the big toe joint pressing down or the movement will only pull on the knees. In class this week we’ll be working on moving from trikonasana to parsvottanasana from moving the back leg only to observe the effect on the lumbar and waist. One question that comes up constantly when I teach privately is ‘this is so complex and hard - how do people learn this in a group class?’ I’ve been thinking about that a lot because I’ve never been taught privately and the answer is I never learnt to work in this way until I started practicing with Iyengar teachers and I figured it out in group classes visually from watching the teachers demonstrations, verbally from listening to the constant, clear instruction without the distraction of music and kinaesthetically through the exploration of my own body. It’s a constant, fascinating process and I’m never ever bored even if we spend two hours working on the placement of the wrists in down dog. It’s hard to explain how transcendent the experiences are I’ve had in class. It’s not about me while at the same time it’s all for me. It stretches the intelligence of the body and the mind so my love for books, films, art, nature and life has quadrupled because I see more detail in everything. I wish you only the same. #yoga #clarity #emotionalstability #intelligence #art #photography #leicacamera #documentingwomen
