Weekly class follow-ups that explain the how's and the why's behind the practice – along with a good post-class sleep – are truly a Satori trademark. This hybrid delivery (both on and off the mat) helps students to stick with their weekly classes and also develop a daily self-care practice - this is how we move forward and build success.
Today's post-class e-mail will explain some of the in-class practices: most of yoga students - including myself - find that UNDERSTANDING why we did what we did is equally important to the active practice itself. This is yet another reason for the hybrid course delivery.
We will also lay out a map for "what's next?" question.
Here is what we did in class and why:
Body sensing and rolling:
~ fascia, your body's connective tissue network, serves as peripheral nervous system
super highway. Much of what you feel physically is relayed by the well functioning nerve endings laced through the scaffolding of the fascia.
We've used ball work to bring our attention to sensations in different areas of the body, as well as to decompress, untangle and hydrate congested tissues.
Breath
Work:
~ persistent pain changes the way we breathe.
We hold our breath when we move or getting ready to move. More often than not, we hold our exhale. With time, this pattern of holding or uneven breathing becomes ingrained - we simply no longer aware of how we breathe.
Breath awareness as well as simple breathing exercises help us rediscover our breath and use it to
mindfully influence our physical body and the mind in a positive way.
