OM Restorative Yoga TT in Japan, Day 1
After an active morning asana class and a lunch break, we began the Restorative TT. What is Restorative yoga? Why do we need it? What does it do? How does it work? What is relaxation, anyway? We looked at all that but first, we practiced. After practicing Supta Baddhakonasana, the students learned how to put each other in that pose.
Chigusa, in her cute OM yoga t-shirt, is setting up Agapana AKA Red Pants. That is his nickname because he wears Red Pants every day.
Here is a classroom full of many yogis helping each other to relax.
Yes, that’s Joe in the background — and that’s another story which I will tell you later.
These students are very good at paying close attention to their partners, with care and right attention.
I love this one. Her partner really created a cozy pod for her to rest within.
Gotta go now and hey — the sun just came out. After being awakened by the loud, shrill 65 mile an hour winds blowing through the high skyscraper canyons of Shinjuku, it is lovely to see the clouds lift, the rain stop and beautiful spring time sun shining. Off to teach!
