My classes move quickly. No one can ever accuse me of offering a Power RESTORATIVE Yoga Class. Although that sounds kind of good.
My classes are quick because I've found that is what gets results. There are slow aspects but most of the close is true vinyasa style---one breath/one movement.
Taking responsibility and doing what is appropriate for you is part of surrendering to your inner guru. In my classes or anyone else's, you need to hang on to who you are and what you want out of the class. Now---I'm going to encourage you to push your comfort zone and try to get you to do a little bit more but ultimately it has to be your choice.
We did some crazy moves last week to see if we couldn't connect with the piriformis muscle. The most effective started by getting into Banarasana, Monkey Pose. Start on your hands and knees and lunge your right foot to the outside of your right hand. While bending the back knee, grab your back foot--same side hand as foot. Continue to let the hip move forward. It works! However, it also had a slight tendency to make the hamstring cramp up in a few people. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction! Be careful.
Give it a try. Breathe deep...and see you in class! Remember if you want to try my class at the WRAC, just let the front desk know and they'll give you a free pass.
Namaste,
Dean
