This shines such a useful light on external rotation! I felt longer in my sides and more productively rotated in my legs than I have in a while. I'm newly obsessed with side angle pose as a result (my students have been doing a lot of it since I took this class).
Love your teaching, Margi. I like discovering what works and what doesn't for me. So far, I really enjoy twisting, balancing, and inversion poses. I struggle with warrior and triangle poses: they never seem to make me feel better in any way. Wish I'd discovered yoga years ago!
Stephen Thanks for sharing your experience. I think of all of the poses as puzzles which are always morphing. Keep playing with those standing poses, and see if you can find a way to practice them which makes you feel better... if not, stop doing them!!
Betty M What a lovely comment. THANK YOU. There is great comfort in visiting the familiar with some fresh perspectives. So glad you are enjoying practice. Margi
