Dallas Day One

Jeff and I are up in Dallas for the Mary and Eddy workshop. We came up Tuesday in time for George's class. George Purvis is an amazing teacher. Super nice guy and super knowledgeable about yoga. We basically had a three person private lesson with us and Jason. What a luxury to have a senior teacher look that closely at your poses. It really boggles my mind that more people don't take advantage of the enormous resource that is George Purvis at BKS Iyengar Studio of Dallas.

Here's the sequence, long AMVira, AMS, AMvrk, regular, palms out, palms in, palms turned all the way back, interspersed with UHs to refresh the arms. long chair dwi pada, Pincha. variation of eka pada rajakapotasana 2, with back toe turned under at the wall, hands holding onto chair, long holds on both side, this is brutal with the foot turned like this, give it a try sometime. Ustrasana rolled stikcy in front of knees, go back keeping pelvis at wall, Scorpion holding onto the chair and he taught a neat foot kicking trick to hook the feet, AMS sirsasana, dropping over to dwi pada upto to Urdhva D 8 to 10 times, Jason flipped back over a couple times and George helped Jeff with standing up, I rested... then viparti karani (with long discourse about the movie war horse).

Fun times. Off to Randy's class.
