 | Ever realize that you were guilty of your own pet peeve? Much to my horror, I recently had to face the fact that I picked up a bad habit: anticipating. | |
The Anticipator
The Anticipator is always two beats ahead of the teacher's instructions in a led class, which takes you right out of the present moment. If you find yourself wondering what the next pose will be or routinely coming out of poses before instructed to, you might be an anticipator too. Admission is the first step toward recovery!
| Vinyasa/Flow
I've always liked the surrender of control that comes with led vinyasa. Holding each pose until the instructor lets you out and not knowing what comes next in the sequence allow me to be more in the present moment.
| Yoga Pet Peeves
When we all become enlightened, we will certainly be able to rise above petty concerns about who is stepping on our mat and passing gas near us during yoga class. Until then, you can vent your frustrations here and maybe, in the process, begin to let them go.
| Pose of the Week - Firefly - Tittibhasana
 When my teacher asked if there were any requests in class last week, I found myself calling out "tittibhasana!" This pose has been on my mind lately. It makes me feel powerful and energized, it makes me laugh when I fall out on my butt, it amazes me when I manage an Ashtanga-style exit through crow and back to chaturanga. What more can you ask for from a yoga pose?
