Three days of online classes with Zubin, with the emphasis on playing and exploring using different asana.
"Are you understanding?" a frequent question.
"You are not just the shadow, or external view of asana. What is happening on the inside, what is happening with the breath? Are you understanding?"
"Think of the different dimensions within yourself - past, present, future - all being expressed in the asana. Are you understanding?"
"Body, breath, mind do not need to be separate areas of study. Try to incorporate each of these three in the asana and do not overuse one at the expense of the other. Are you understanding?"
Pondering on each as I am doing the asana, asking the question of myself. Am I understanding? This is not a static answer but understood in the moment.
Since the intensive I've been playing a bit more within the poses, just for the delight and exploration. For example, in ardha uttanasana, with palms on the facing wall, walk in a bit so your heels come more under your torso than under your hips. Something I haven't done in awhile is bow pose, rocking over to one side and then the other, just for fun. Awakening.
