Today we started going over the individual asanas for the complete range of motion for every joint. I wish I had a camera with me so I could have taken photos of all the different variations and adjustments that were possible. It can be a real challenge as a professional yoga teacher to work with the different populations that show up in your classes. In a sense both Andrey Lappa and Paul Grilley – the two teachers I am currently studying with – both agree that it is my job to help take people to their ‘edge’ physically. In order to do this I have to try to remember variations for poses that I cannot hope to do and that I rarely get to use.
