Yoga session with the flatties!

So as you all know my my last session of Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga was last week..but because I loved it alot I thought why not transfer my knowledge and skills I had developed over the course of four weeks and teach my flatmates. They were constantly asking me what I would do in these classes after explaining to them they sounded intrigued and wanted me to teach them some poses. I thought this was a great idea as I was able to transfer my knowledge on to them. The roles of myself participating in this occupation had changed as I was no longer the participant I had evolved and had taken on the role of becoming the teacher. For this yoga session I set up the lounge of my flat moved all the couches aside to allow room. One thing I realized I didn't have was the yoga mats but I improvised and used cushions as pillows for our heads when lying down. My flatmates only wanted a short session to begin with so I set aside 30 minutes to go through the basic poses.

I began by explaining what my understanding of Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga was to them, then I demonstrated the sun salutations poses that consisted of upward dog, downward dog, balances, warrior one and warrior two, the crocodile and the hops between poses and the correct breathing as that is one of the things that I feel I have mastered! Doing the balance poses I still am a little shaky but I feel I have progresses alot since the first session. It felt really good to be passing on my knowledge to my flatmates and sharing my personal experiences from the sessions. All in all they enjoyed the session and I had alot of fun teaching them!!
