Wednesday, 1/7 began with a return to the yoga teacher apprentice program at Moving Mantra Yoga Studio. Attendance in today’s gentle beginner class as well as alternate classes builds the foundation of my teacher training. The didactic review of the lessons with Cyndi Bulka and my co-apprentices adds the science and other practices of yoga to my training. Today I came away with awareness to bring range of motion wrist exercises into my programs and to practice being able to teach seated stretches with my limited mobility.
The afternoon chair yoga class at The Cypress of Raleigh had three students. One was new to the class. She shared details of her many surgeries and current burning desire to be able to walk with confidence and power. It’s great to gain a motivated student. Today’ s highlight was the continued neck strengthening of the Parkinson’s patient. Her sustained positioning of a level chin over her spine exceeded all prior efforts. I have seen that drawing the shoulder blades down and inward has helped all participants begin to experience better posture.
