Sufia Yoga, learning vs. staying the same

Sufia yoga,
that's the better name
i think

strength
unification
flexibility
intelligence
awareness, anti-aging

some people
wanting awareness
and learning
and moving beyond the old ruts
will love it

some won't

so be
it

love
is my job

their job
is to love
to learn
or to love
staying the same

Pelvis and Head

sari and adam

this organism has four
legs

we usually only have two

the pelvis
transmits and rotates
and powers
all the stuff above
the legs

see how their pelvises
do that
even
though
they don't have to balance
in their particular configuration

our head
is designed to bring in information
to taste, smell
and hear
and
see

in any position,
if our neck is mobile
we can look right and left
easily

while our pelvis
supports us firmly
and intelligently in either sitting
or standing

so,
today's monday yoga:

take any posture:

notice what your pelvis is doing
arch and round a little your lower back
and discover if your pelvis is free
to move
and if
it is using the muscles the way
that will make the posture easiest

and then,
comfortable there

let your head rotate,
slowly
and easily
right
and left

and allow your eyes
to move
easily
and comfortably
in the opposite way
your head is moving

still aware of breathing
and pelvis
and feet
and gravity

easy neck
easy eyes
easy brain
smart brain
intelligent pelvis

the brain body yoga
game

enjoy

Yoga for a Monday: Vira 2

even

Warrior II
or Virabhadrasana II
or
Vira 2:

This a sweet pose
for strength
and joy
and connection to Earth
and to our Heart
and to the Bigger Universe.

In DNA (Discovery, Nature, Ananda/Awareness) yoga,
we are up to all sort of variations:
lean "too far" forward,
forward

lean "too far" back
back
