teaching yoga

Just drank some coffee and did about a half hour meditation. Feeling better after exhaustion from many activities. I will commense towards one of my favorite yoga classes to teach. This one I have taught longer than any other. delivering something about the feet. It is my impression that humans have become detached from their feet. Excessive shoe wearing and increased mental activity of mankind has brought awareness away from our (dogs). Being that one of my favorite pastimes is skateboarding the feet are very important to me. One thing that has greatly helped me in connection to the feet is thinking of them like hands. They are basically the same structure as the hands and move in a very similar way.

feet - like hands that grab the earth
toes like the tips of roots from a tree

It is important to note all the activity that goes on in the foot. It is apparrent the movement of the toes and ankle but more subtly I find great benefit in developing awareness of the portion between the toes and ankle. developing this leads to greater balance strength and agility. also having a strong and unified foot will greatly reduce knee injuries and help heal old ones.

thank you
