For those of you who began class with me this week, DO TAKE NOTE that this clip is excellent in showing proper placement of feet, legs and hips when practising Trikonasana.
May I suggest that if you want to practise at home, you do NOT stretch over so far as to take the hand down below the knee (as is shown in the clip) but rather, just rest it gently on the thigh. As a Beginner you will not need to go too deeply into the side stretch to FEEL the lengthening of the hamstrings and the OPENING of the hips and spine. This is a wonderful pose for preparing the body for Forward and Back bending asanas and strengthening the spine for the deeper Twists .
REMEMBER that you want to FEEL the STRETCH ... NOT PAIN. If you feel pain STOP .. come out of the pose and discuss it with me at the following class.
I also suggest that, to protect your neck, you look 'down' , rather than 'up', in the finished pose.
AND of course you will be practising your UJJAJI breathing (belly with 'aah') .. won't you??
I'm not sure if the link will work. If not , just look at the Trikonasan video clip on the MAIN page...ENJOY :-).

Comment by Laura on May 21, 2009 at 9:19am - Hi Angel, I am thinking about a kind of yoga workshop, two, three, four times and with my daughter. She is almost eleven years old and she is really interested in yoga but I cannot help her and then I thought maybe a couple of times, mother and daugther yoga, just too learn the basics and be able to practise at home...what do you think? Is it a factible idea? Would you like to organize it? Are there more people interested?

The u-tube link gives a good indication of what I was trying to say ... EXCEPT that if you use a block you cannot adjust the distance your lower body is off the floor. As every 'body' is different in flexibility, I strongly suggest the use of blankets (in place of a block) for this pose, Alina. Apart from reversing the effects of gravity and increasing the Circulation, Yogis believe the pose stimulates the Immune System (strongly) when done correctly.
Come round and have a coffee sometime and I'll share what I mean with you :-).

Just wanted to thank you all for joining the Group and coming along on this 'ride' :-) .
It may be 'baby steps' to start with, but with your input, we'll move along into an interesting Group very soon :-).

According to popular belief married couples become more similar over time but a new study suggests that people tend to pick their spouse based on shared personality traits. What do you think?

Oh, great video. I think I will add Indonesia to my "must see" list. Thanks for sharing it.
If you think you already knew much about Indonesia, or even if you only knew that Indonesia only has Bali to visit, then you should watch this video. It will show you how diverse our country is, and how many gorgeous places you can visit together wi…
