Led second series this morning...which included a little bit of third as well. It was kindof funny, actually, when he called out "vasisthasana!" after the headstands at the end of second. I thought he might be joking, and others did too, but david just smiled, so on we went. Just the first four poses, but it seemed like a lot more after the second series the way david led us.
I had been almost looking forward to the led second, thinking it would be no problem since I practice it regularly and survived eddie stern's led second quite nicely in february. But there were definitely times that I just wanted the practice to be over...mayutrasana twice, holding posees longer, etc. After practice felt great though! As I wrote in my application, I always feel exhausted after practicing with david, but also exhilerated and inspired. And something about being led throuh the series is easier...like I can let go a bit of the perfecrion of each pose, and just go with the flow. It's enough to just listen to the teacher and keep up with the cadence and flow.
One funny quote from asana kitchen (funny to us ashtangis, that is): "it's never to late to ask about chaturanga!" When someone asked about it after requests had already been closed.
Tomorrow no mysore...just adjustment clinic and sutra study...my body will appreciate the break!
Its really nice that you are taking the classes of yoga. Yoga is very good for our health. I also do yoga daily. It gives me a tremendous energy whole day.
