Your friendly reminder about people in the health/fitness
industry. Three studios I taught at personally, no longer
physically exist. So if and when we "come back", it's not
actually that easy for me to just "jump back in". Oh... and
those studios you love? They may not be around when all is
said and done.
It's such a lose-lose situation for everyone and the lack of
help from Congress is laughable and while I've been lucky to
pivot for part of this pandemic, not everyone is so lucky.

With DC bars and restaurants and museums and
libraries closing again, a quick note: your yoga teachers
have been out of work for 9 months.
DC Unemployment is $137/month. Not to put to find a
point on it: my insurance went up to $555 a month.
Do the math.

Ah yes, “Try Angle” pose. Of course. The one where you try to make an angle.
Seriously: this is where you can start thinking about something called “yantras”— or sacred geometry. Its an on ramp for beauty and imagination inside of yoga practice.
Here’s how it works:
Try to visualize yourself as a collection of lines.
For example, can you visualize your bottom arm and front leg as a collection of vectors that connect and intersect?
Oh look! A triangle!
The real fun comes as you try to visualize more and more of them... at the same time. And, without looking, feel how changing one vector somewhere can change the angles elsewhere... all without losing track of your breath.
So trippy. So fun.

This pose is neat because it lets me use my imagination. I imagine that I am hanging from a window ledge for dear life. If I lean back and balance, I can dangle with straight arms. If I go forward and pull, I can pull with an infinite strength, so long as I meet myself *exactly* in the middle. Generally, this pose highlights where I’ve got some resistance inside keeping me from the balance. Sometimes legs, sometimes arms, sometimes belly, sometimes butt. Most often, it’s no one single thing but a concurrence of them and so the best thing to do is just try to find the middle and let things work themselves out.

I added a few words to the translation of this poses’s name. It could be called “standing belly on thighs calm the fuck down pose,” but it’s already a mouthful. She’s the first pose of Ashtanga’s foundational series. Look gently at your nose. Calm your nerves with the standing forward bend. Chill out. Bend your knees till you feel great.

Why?
In the last 15 years, farm founder Gail Taylor has on-boarded me as a volunteer twiceâ the first was at a farm in Maryland, the second at my neighborhood hot yoga studio. Her patience and persistence and steady hand allowed others the chance to helpâ and boy I needed THAT help. Her guiding hand is one I trust and believe in. Help a helper.
