16 Peeps

1 Drop In

Felt good to be teaching again after resting on Saturday and Monday for my ear.  Again, I am finding myself teaching more technical.  "Like a guy."  The play seems to be to be clear and specific within the feminine holding space.

Putting together some of the toe work, leg line and belly work that Patricia shared a few weekends ago, we geeked out on rooting and moving from the core.  No real "peak" pose.  I think we will play with this for the next few classes and then come back towards the Vashistasana and Visvamitrasana play.

Troubleshooting Video Playback Mischief

  • Download the latest version of Firefox and restart your computer.
  • Download the latest Flash Player.
  • A slow connection will affect video playback. Allowing the video to "load" before viewing can help smooth this out. Here are the steps:
    - Press "Play" and allow the video to roll for a few moments.
    - Then, press "Pause" and allow the video to "load" before hitting "Play" again.
    - You will know the video is "loading" as the bar to the right of the play button darkens gray.
    - This will also give you the option to scroll forward and back more easily.
  • Report Problem to the Help Duck.
