Bikram Yoga . . . after the challenge 93

Friday, April 3, 2009 12:00 with Mike.

It was perfectly hot and humid today. Nice to have my friend C. to my left today.

After class I chatted with Mike regarding breathing, especially during the standing bending backwards, the further I go back the harder it is to breathe. I need to be lifting up and then back one vertebrae at a time. When you breathe in do not let air out all at once. We need to make a conscious effort to breathe, eventually it should become natural.

He also noted on my Balancing Stick (Tuladandasana)I reach a certain point then I start bending from the hip and lean my upper body down like a broken umbrella. I knew it felt wrong now I know why.
