Discussion

Talked about Designing a Routine and Sequencing

Assigned homework of Sequencing the postures they had already mapped out to achieve a particular pose.  Also assigned establishing counter poses.

Practice

Each taught their sun salutation.

This was super fun and it opened up the opportunity for questions and answers.  It might have been smart to have them teach more much earlier in the training.  Cuz the act of teaching starts the questions.  And makes the information being presented relevant.

Yin Style Practice

Used this practice to share chakra info.  Again, this is feeling less useful than doing one of my "talks" during the practice.  Hold over.
