Posture of the Month |
|
Dhanurasana
Bow pose is the last of what is know as the spine strengthening series - cobra, locust, full locust and bow pose. Each one of these postures focuses on a particular part of the spine. Cobra - lower spine, locust - upper spine, full locust - middle spine and bow the whole spine. As well as each posture working a portion of the spine there is also amazing benefits to the front of the body and the internal organs.
When performing the Bow Pose, there are a couple of things to remember. First make sure that you are holding the foot just below the toes - about the middle of the foot - but not the ankle. Then you want to work on keeping your wrists straight. Knees and feet no more than six inches apart. When you kick up double check that your knees have not opened too much. From the side the toes are over the lower back. Make sure that you keep looking up to the ceiling. By doing this posture correctly you are bringing together all that you have done in the spine strengthening series - thus receiving the maximum benefit.
Hope to see you in class today!

March 2009
Student of the Month
Rachel Azevedo
When Rachel came to her first class she was in the back corner of the room. She didn't know what to expect. But she said that she had to come back because everyone was so kind.
Rachel has always been athletic. That interest is one of the reasons that she is a Sports Reporter for KOHD TV. As such she is constantly surrounded by very active people. And when she jogs - the yoga ends up helping her sore knees.
Rachel says as she sits in front of the computer she is holding her posture much better. And she says "in a strange way I am receiving benefits socially. I'm proud to be a yogi and share yoga with others. People seem to be interested in talking about it".
Rachel says, "I'm inspired by others in class every day. I love hearing peoples age and being shocked. The first time that happened was when Molly told me she was over 30. I thought she was in her early 20's. I just hope that as I continue practicing Bikram Yoga I'll look as young as my body will feel. I beleive that yoga has the ability to keep me feeling healthy and strong forever".
Congratulations Rachel on being March 2009 Student of the Month!
Hope to see all of you in class very soon..!!
