This morning I’m thinking about
sequencing. I was thinking about it on the mat – about how I’m not sure what to
do…I’m not even sure what I did this morning – I know there was a little
movement and a little twisting… I didn’t want to go upside down, I didn’t want
to bend backwards. In part because I don’t feel like I really understand how to
warm up those parts – and how to build the practice.
Afterwards I picked up a book
my mother brought me – by Gary Krafstow, “Yoga for Wellness.” He’ll have
something to tell me about building a sequence…
“A well conceived sequence is
the key to an effective practice. Such a sequence has the qualities of order,
harmony, efficiency throughout … so if you study and apply the principles… you
will find your practices becoming progressively more elegant, refined and
relevant to your changing needs and interests…”
oh, that’s all…
it’s right – I go in fits and
starts and have a hard time knowing where to begin. I don’t want to do some of
the things I love to do because I know that I am not clear on how to prepair…
This weekend I was standing in
a field, on a hill, overlooking Boston –
a friend and I were talking –
in what order do we do the things that we need to do…
home, love, career, art…
actually, buying a bed was in
there, too
love, home, bed, career,
or should it be bed, home, love
or home, career, love
“In preparing for a particular
posture it is helpful to progressively warm up the body by using similar
postures that work in the same direction…”
love
home
career
bed
