The Yoga Bridge, Week 9, Yoga Demo

20131229-110519.jpg

This week, I was visiting family in Maryland for the holiday. Some of the children insisted we do a family talent show. Sure, why not? I decided to do a yoga demonstration. I did the demonstration as if I were teaching the pose, Sirsasana , head stand. I advised everyone to warmup with five push-ups and to loosen the ankle and wrist joints. Also, I advised that yoga was much more than poses, such as, it has meditation and rules for healthy living. My head stand, a work in progress, was not perfect, meaning the ankles, knees, and legs weren’t exactly in a straight line; however, the audience liked my first ever yoga demo. I went up slowly and came down slowly. My hope was to inspire the people to try Iyengar yoga.
