Woke up feeling trembly and detoxy. I’m moving through that ill feeling that is approached and felt at times. I’m weak but there’s a fire in this. Powered through the illness with a full-on morning class. Posture clinic in the morning, working in pairs. Lots of Warrior I, knees developing so much heat! Use mirroring when teaching.

A gorgeous sunny day; lunch outside with John assistant teacher and other YTTs

Anatomy and Physiology this afternoon with Grace Jull:

Bones are half water.
It only takes 8 weeks from fertilisation of the egg to a formed systems.
Cranio-sacral therapy very beneficial for young mothers and the child.
The bone matrix improves with weight and resistance training, e.g. yoga.
The body is sculptured while growing up, e.g. repetition in sports.

Life = division from exterior, and movement.

Vertibra:

Cervical 7 – Breakfast time
Thoracic 12 – Lunch time
Lumar 5 – Tea time

The sacrum doesn’t fuse until the age of 20 to 25!

Note big difference between tissue stretching and bone on bone compression. Make adjustments for this. We are all different skeletally.

Sticking labels on skeletons to learn major bones.

Excellent yoga class with Grace this afternoon after the workshop.

Yamas and Niyamas workshop this eve. I.e. Sane Living. We chose one to ‘practise’. Mine: Non-violence towards self, others. The yamas need to be in harmony, e.g. telling the truth, but not violently.

Finished the day with a sauna / whirlpool then chatting with Shaun, Nathan, Joe and Brian in the dorm.
