They keep repeating these in all the yoga sessions.....Keep your spine straight!
Tuck your tummy in
Look forward
Raise your chest
Bring your stomach to thigh
Based on the asanas we are performing, the instruction keeps changing. All these are to aid the spine reach its actual position. My interpretations would be... instructions that aid us to make the spine strong & breath naturally....
Today... while I was practicing... I wonder about these instructions... And I suddenly understand the impact of the casual phrase in our place... which loosely translates to 'spinless creature'.... from a completely different plane....
People might consider otherwise... But... I would consider myself to be the owner of one strong & supple spine. And a proud owner too.
Kiddo... You might want to take note of this fact... You may never know when & where you will have to rely on your spine... It also helps in weeding out.......
