好久沒上Patrick的課了，因為每次要付費實在負擔太大，經濟不景氣啊XD，能多投資在瑜珈上的經費是很有限的。沒想到上周五看到這星期的課表，就這麼一節下午4:30有90分鐘的Anusara 2，所以周六上午在櫃檯排隊預約，確保自己約得到課，而且早上八點正就刷卡上班，這樣只要休假一小時，就能趕上這節課。
來上這節課的組合很特別，Pure同學該是精銳盡出，所有我唸得出名字的同學都相聚了，好幾個已經有一陣子沒見面的同學都來跟我打招呼，相信上班請假的人一定也不少，沒上Vincent或是Angel課的人也不少，大家都很珍惜這次機會，三樓大教室約50個同學，能量的感覺很好，從OM就知道。
今天的翻譯是Heidi，Patrick說雖然Size跟Chops不一樣，但能量相同，而且跟他相襯，哈哈哈~其實要當Patrick的翻譯很不容易，因為他說話的速度很快，而且就英文來說，他會用一些比較特別的名詞或形容詞來強調不同層次的意思，或是倒裝句子，因此比平時的英語對話要有難度，Heidi已經是表現很好囉。
Patrick今天的課程也有主題，就是Balance，在動作上，通常吸氣時我們會感覺往上、吐氣時感覺往下，因此他要我們吸氣時注意往下紮根，吐氣時往上提升，達到身體的平衡。
但他強調太過專注又不平衡，就像專注看著日落，卻連房子著火了都不自知(哈哈哈哈哈)，那就專注過頭，也不能算是平衡。
我很喜歡Patrick上課時會不斷的加入主題，有時候停留的時間可以有不同的關注點，因此今天雖然有非常多的扭轉，但我的扭轉卻比平時都要作得更深、更有感覺。
他還會說很多的笑話，例如大家都已經不行先回來的時候，因為他的指令還沒下完，還加了一句if you interested...哈哈哈。亦或是問我們知不知道誰是Patanjali，說就是寫了一本書的那個人，哈哈哈哈哈，哪有瑜珈課上到進階課還不知道Patanjali的啦。Yoga Sutras 1.2 योग: चित्त-वृत्ति निरोध: yogaś citta-vṛtti-nirodhaḥ，意思也是要達到身心的平衡，就會了解我們當初練習瑜珈時的意圖。
Patrick調整我的動作很多，包括綁了好多次的Bound Side Angle Pose，Circus後腳大腿用力往上再捲尾骨，頭倒立的時候幾乎都站在我旁邊XD，連最後躺姿的扭轉就用腳刀推腰往前扭轉更多，而且一直站著不走...讓我下課時兩邊肋骨都痠~~~
這節課練了很多Arm Balance的動作，都跟扭轉有關，例如從Visvamitrasana跪地準備式接Eka Pada Koundinyasasa II；從Bind Bird Paradise接Eka Pada Koundinyasasa I；Bind Reverse Side Angle Pose綁手後腳往前交叉Bind Marichyasana；從Bridge接Sarvangasana(還問我們是否知道Bridge Pose^_^lll...老師這是Anusara 2耶，不過今天沒練Urdhva Dhanurasana)等，其實很多動作我都很久沒練了，因為基礎課其實練到的機會不多，但是上Patrick好像應該就要會作，也自然就會作到！他的動作編組與口令真是有特殊的魔力，就是讓人的身體可以自然的打開。
靠牆的手倒立練習用臀部貼牆，單腳往下，兩腳劈腿的練習，後來Sirsasana A也有同樣的練習，Patrick要我捲尾骨往上踢高，用力的方式跟我平時完全不同，我一直覺得自己會掉下來，卻又不會！他很能發揮學生的潛力，讓人會著迷的課程。
好棒的90分鐘！因為Patrick剛從太魯閣回來，我剛好手上有一片介紹臺灣國家公園的雙語DVD送給他，讓他能回香港時，用影像向他的朋友介紹臺灣國家公園之美，也希望他能再次快點回來臺灣，再給我們會員幾節免費的課程喔~~感恩~~~~~

December Weekend Workshop with Patrick Creelman
Patrick原本11月的課程延後成12月份週末研習課程，可是...怎麼Maha Shakti時間又縮水了，從三小時減為二小時，早鳥兒滴優惠截止日期是12月1日，又要開始掙扎~(想起上回的Note還沒整理XD)看著新加坡的Complimentary Weekend Workshops，好生羨慕啊~

由於下課後朋友問我是否最近都沒上瑜珈課，怎麼都在寫食記，雖然她也很愛看...哈哈哈，我每天都有上課沒偷懶啦，只是食記用照片整理比較快，就會先貼上來，瑜珈筆記一定會補齊滴，但為了避免誤會，這篇"待續"先貼這段公告上來「隔間」，以免引起我三天捕魚、五天曬網的天大誤會啊，呵呵~~

今天是晨間練習的最後一天，有點不捨、但也有點如釋重負。還沒進教室，就看到Patrick與一位西塔琴的琴師已經在教室內，我們早到的同學擔心打擾了他們，一直到教室門打開我們才進去，沒想到今天Patrick安排了西塔琴的Live Music伴奏，所以我就選在琴師正前方，好好享受這個難得的經驗。上課前我自己就開始靜坐，突然終於安靜了，Patrick馬上從梵唱開始：
Gayatri mantra (for meditation)
OM BHUR BHUVAT SVAH

不習慣晚上上課，昨天上完Hatha 2回家後就有點睡不著，超過11點還精神奕奕，早上起床時就感覺有點累，胃腸也不太舒服，慘的是在更衣室突然覺得右邊脖子有點落枕，讓我有點擔心自己早課練習的狀況。秀秀姐沒來，後來才知道她也是腸胃不舒服。以芬在左邊，今天我們兩個一起雙人練習。

P1421 (待續)TT Morning Intensive 24-22/Patrick (160min)
星期四是Guru Day，但因為TT即將在星期六結束了，而這班同學有很多將成為別人的Guru，因此上課的主題就是往內找到自己的Guru。因為秀秀姐後來選的位置在左側，我們兩個中間空個位置很奇怪，我也想跟秀秀一起練習，只得又挪在Patrick老師的正前方，右邊是以芬。
我上課前突然覺得右側脖子有點落枕，奇怪起床時並沒有這種感覺，不過因為今天沒用到太多脖子的動作，所以影響不大，只有輪式頭頂碰地時才覺得有點不舒服。體位法的主題大多是後彎，雙人練習包括Drop Back, 從Sirsasana I到Dwi Pada Viparita Dandasana，還有Eka Pada Rajakapotasana。示範的Karina老師說她是第一次練習從Sirsasana I到Dwi Pada Viparita Dandasana，不過這套動作我不算太陌生，以前Julie, Stephen, Yograj老師都教過。Patrick兩個來幫我喬的是放鬆的動作，一個是Child Pose壓下背，另外一個Supta Padangusthasana B幫我把骨盆喬正內旋。Savasana時Karina老師還有頌缽喔，很讚~躺的時間也很長吧，今天下課的時間都超過40分鐘了，連去阜杭吃早餐都來不及，所以洗好澡就去上班了，想必明天亦然，星期六還不知道會不會上到四小時哩。
(待續)
人生的緣分真是很難預測，常常會有意外的驚喜。前幾天以前工作單位的老同事Edward打電話給我敘舊，我說選日子不如撞日子，就選今天中午去台北車站微風廣場二樓吃中飯 (逃Angel的Power Hour企圖太明顯)，聊得很開心，分手後才到地下樓，就遇到以前瑜珈中心的美玲，大概有三年沒見到了吧，她瘦了好多，我則胖了很多，不過她說我們兩個都變漂亮多了，哈哈哈，她問我還有沒有練瑜珈？她要照顧兒子所以現在沒有練習了，以前我們是彩嬌老師的班底哩，中午也常常一起上課，有革命情感的，沒想到這麼剛好就遇到了，託Edward的福啦。
回到辦公室後，中午忘了午餐約會的唐伯打電話給我致歉，說下個星期四補給我，哈哈，看來我要沒有理由推託的去上Angel的Power Hour可是難上加難啦。

P1419 (待續)TT Morning Intensive 24-21/Patrick (140min)
今天我選在正中央的大位，這是我第一次正面坐在Patrick正面，左邊是以芬、右邊是秀秀姐。課程還沒結束，秀秀姐已經開始懷念Patrick了，哈哈，她說如果Philip留在台北，她就要加入到Pure來練習，看來大家都很喜歡Philip哩。
今天的課程主題是Journey與Transient，有很長一段的拜日式練習，另外雙人練習除了Handstand, Pincha Mayuasana之外，還加入了Visvamitrasana。由於主題不同，所以專注的方式也不一樣，手倒立要一直維持Kidney Loop練習，感覺真的很不一樣。
（待續）
只是下課時已經9:25，這兩天都是加長版練習，我已經有心理準備，後面最後幾天大概也是如此，連換穿的衣服都帶好，有時間從容把溼透的頭髮也清潔乾淨。也因此幾天都跟阜杭難得有緣，天天去喝豆漿配厚餅，而且今天還看到華山市場有個攤位在賣芝麻酥，上回新竹買的貨早已斷炊，剛好買幾包補補貨，腳程分配的時間也比較好，從容到辦公室。

P1416 (待續)TT Morning Intensive 24-20/Patrick (140min)
今天的主題是Listening傾聽，從新的Chanting開始，因為學Mantra的第一步也是Listening。加入新的呼吸法Uddiyana Bandha，還有很多新的動作，綁手的動作非常多，尤其是一套扭轉系列，Bound Side Angle, Bound Triangle, Bound Half Moon（真的很難）, Bound Reverse Side Angle, Bound Reverse Triangle, Bound Reverse Half Moon（比Bound Half Moon簡單點, 成功~）,雙盤孔雀Padma Mayurasana, Double Pigeon Twist等。雙人練習Handstand與Pincha Mayurasana，我今天的Partner是新認識的夥伴Claire，很可愛的小女生。
Patrick幫我調的動作包括我一直作不好，幾乎妹次被調的Side Angle Pose與Trikonasana，每次我都是後面的骨盆太往前、前面的骨盆又捲得不夠多，Patrick總是輕輕的一直說Kidney loop, Kidney loop…還有弓箭步的扭轉，也是點名要我後面的大腿往上、往上…不過最有挑戰性的是Navasana兩手往上時，把我跟我右邊的Fly兩個人的兩腳腳跟一直往下壓就，停的時間又久，還好沒滾下去^_^lll…
最後的放鬆動作，Chops來幫我把彎的腳膝蓋與地上伸直的大腿往下壓，Patrick則在扭轉時幫我把上面的臀部往下內旋，我記得Heidi也幫我這樣調過，感覺很舒服。整體來說，課程的強度一直逐漸往上攀升，很難想像最後一天星期六時會有什麼驚人之舉哩~
(待續)
今天下課時已經9:20上班來不及了，得再多請一小時休假了，乾脆悠閒的沖澡，再去阜杭吃早餐，慢慢散步到發現怎麼又一小時快來不及？最後五分鐘還是快走到辦公室才趕上，看來太悠閒還是不行滴~

P1414 (待續)TT Morning Intensive 24-19/Patrick (120min)
昨天早上八點出門，一直到晚上九點多才回到家，所以Blog都沒進度，持續酸酸的大腿前側，過了整個週末、到今天早上都還是隱隱提醒後彎的後作力。而週末吃喝的場合太多，胃腸已經開始不舒服，起床後只得吞了幾顆WAKAMOTO再出門。
TT晨間練習進入最後一個星期，我從右側換到左側，最喜歡中央大位的還是Daniel莫屬，今天看來他勢在必得，還幫他的朋友留了位置。秀秀姐本來在右側，說為了跟我一起練習，所以移到我後面的位置，以芬也再第二排，大家今天早到的人比較喜歡往前站的樣子，不過今天沒有雙人練習。而且很特別的是，雖然今天外面的天氣是陽光普照，但今天練習的燈光卻一直都比較暗，很有晨間練習的味道，這大概是沒有窗戶教室的特別好處－可以營造氣氛吧。
今天的主題是Intension，Patrick課間一直問我們What are you want? Why are you here? Chops課程最後時有次翻譯得傳神，「莫忘初衷」，讓我聽了覺得中文字真是簡潔有深度，Chops引經據典也恰到好處，要用力鼓鼓掌！有幾個動作包括反轉半月式，是這個月來第一次練習，因為有很多扭轉的動作，Patrick很仔細的幫我喬了幾個動作，第一個靜坐就幫我把肩膀往上往後，才開始上課耶，他的手掌很熱也很溫暖，然後三角式前腳的內刀要用力踩地，Parsvottanasana骨盆轉正，尤其是Parivritta Trikonasana花了最多力氣調整，肋骨放柔、尾骨內收、胸口往上旋轉更多，還有橋式幫我往下用力壓骨盆，真的很用力…還有雙盤的肩立式也是第一次練習。

P1411 (待續)TT Morning Intensive 24-18/Patrick (180min)
第三個星期六的晨間練習，讓我猜中了，今天的主題是Shiva。Patrick用中文說早安已經越來越標準了，也是請大家would you please come close。要大家帶來昨天TT發的chant sheet，因為我們晨間練習的同學沒有，Chops傳了給我們，不然大概得瞎子摸象啦。
Patrick問大家Do you remember last Saturday? It's really bright, and sun really hot, right? The practice last Saturday is Hanumangi, it's so perfect, so bright and celebrate week, the energy is so hight like we are monkey generals. And then I wake up this morning, it's dark, mysterious outside, outside is rainy and cloudy, today it's perfect to Shiva, Shiva is the Lord of destruction, Shiva represent the final phase of cycle of life phases, the phase of creation, the presentation of Brahma, the preservation of creative, the final phase is the destruction of transformation, the decreasing phase, which is the Shiva phase, so when final phase a month get together, we have one week left, that's it, what you see is what you get, you transform from this into what we desired, remember our effort feel about our devotion, and the devotion is really drop deep desire in our heart, what we want to come, that's discipline紀律, we focus on it, it's like plant seeds inside, the slow form and begin to express transform outside, the transformation of this into a new form, is the final stage, so Shiva is a destroyer, but we see ending is the beginning, so Shiva is also a incredible creator, this is the dance destruction, the dance of transformation, or dance of creation, and remember Shiva's right hand has a drum, playing a drum, beating the drum is the pulse of creation, boom, boom, boom, and the drum beat sent to all universe being created, so cool, so we do dance today, the great dance of Shiva, we really transform pose to pose, and what we do is focus on the final stage of each pose, often we paid a lot of our attention to starting something, oh, dear, I need to write a letter to my best friend, dear best friend, I haven't seen you so long, I miss you so much, what?

And then I wake up this morning, it's dark, mysterious outside, outside is rainy and cloudy, today it's perfect to Shiva, Shiva is the Lord of destruction, Shiva represent the final phase of cycle of life phases, the phase of creation, the presentation of Brahma, the preservation of creative, the final phase is the destruction of transformation, the decreasing phase, which is the Shiva phase, so when final phase a month get together, we have one week left, that's it, what you see is what you get, you transform from this into what we desired, remember our effort feel about our devotion, and the devotion is really drop deep desire in our heart, what we want to come, that's discipline紀律, we focus on it, it's like plant seeds inside, the slow form and begin to express transform outside, the transformation of this into a new form, is the final stage, so Shiva is a destroyer, but we see ending is the beginning, so Shiva is also a incredible creator, this is the dance destruction, the dance of transformation, or dance of creation, and remember Shiva's right hand has a drum, playing a drum, beating the drum is the pulse of creation, boom, boom, boom, and the drum beat sent to all universe being created, so cool, so we do dance today, the great dance of Shiva, we really transform pose to pose, and what we do is focus on the final stage of each pose, often we paid a lot of our attention to starting something, oh, dear, I need to write a letter to my best friend, dear best friend, I haven't seen you so long, I miss you so much, what? I will finish it later, and you go off, and then many letters go up, now we will go the final phase, the final phase of each asana, the fifth principle of Anusara is organic energy自然的能量, back to the final phase will be the shape is transform with innovation, so we use all the principles previous of that, to rewind , to prepare, we hug in, we create incredible alignment, inner spiral, outer spiral, organic energy extended, our intention is expressed, the power of Shiva the shape of transform into human us.
Shiva does the great dance in jungle, Shiva actually is the night Shiva, when Shiva did 108 poses, this is very common, your probably seen this before you came into (指的是Shiva雕像的舞姿), and this is only one pose of 108 in a great dance, 其他還有107個動作, you see one dissolved then the other one created, when we do Vinyasa, we from one pose to final stage, full expression, and right then, a blink of eye, it's dissolved, Dandasana, next form, so the practice become dance of Shiva, so cool, the principle of destruction of Shiva破壞力的原則, expression of Shiva is everything, Shiva is in everything, like they said that's nothing but not Shiva, that's means we expressed power of dissolved everything back to one, everything back to the source, so we through the practice dissolved is leading the idea of ourselves透過練習不要限制你自己, to go back to the source of power回到生命來源的能量, Om Namah Shivaya, Om Namah Shivaya, so Karina will lead some chants, devote the power of Shiva on this dark, mysterious Saturday, the goal of today is to know the great power of destruction, we will going so hot to devolved, we will going sweating, we'll rock, Shiva will rocks, Shiva's rock, so we begin with very top to Guru Prayer, it's so fitting, because our mantra Om Namah Shivaya feel great, Shiva is the great Guru, Shiva is the great teacher within and without, Shiva is really embody of our true wisdom began true wisdom of our heart, so we invoke啟發 the power of Shiva, we invoke the power to look inside of us, so we do we dissolved the Dao, we dissolved the field we don't know, dissolved the worry I don't think I've be given, 簡化我們的擔憂, Shiva can do it, means we can do it, that's idea, so that's the all whole program, so we chant the first Guru Prayer, start with 3 om.

昨天晚上睡前孩子們問我：綠豆下雨天出門會變成什麼？我實在不知道，問是綠豆仁還是綠豆芽嗎？答案卻是黃豆，我百思不得其解，Why？原來是因為穿了黃色的雨衣…孩子們，只有小學生才穿黃色雨衣，這樣我們老人家怎麼答得出來，哈哈哈。
好在睡得不錯，沒想到早上這節晨間練習是不折不扣的後彎課，後彎了二個小時，到了快下課才驚覺原來是後彎課喔，反應太慢…今天的主題則是Prepare and opportunity，大概可以想得到的後彎都練了吧，雙人練習還是Eka Pada Rajakapotasana I的Full Pose，結果在我左邊的Daniel用生澀的中文說，I don't like 機會…後彎加上伸展大腿前側，大家都辛苦了~

早上到櫃檯Check-in，有個TT的同學請櫃檯幫她冷凍（還是加熱）敷墊，說她舊傷復發很多天了，我跟著她上樓，才看到她幾乎是跛著腳，要兩步併一步才能上樓梯，我跟她不熟，也不好問她目前是怎麼處理傷勢，後來在教室看到她的膝蓋都裹著紗布，很難想像這樣練習會有多疼痛，事實上還有個同學因為也是舊傷，已經幾天都沒上晨間練習，只上TT的課程。想想每天晚上我都不敢超過十點睡覺，所以Blog都沒時間寫，還要期待自己每天要保持健康甚至狀況最佳來上課，真的也很不容易。
剛好今天的主題是gratitude感恩之情，真要好好感謝自己的身體。我又被調了我最弱的動作之一Parsvakonasana，Patrick要我後腳平行墊子多一些，Hollow belly更多一些，看來我的肚子還是很容易鬆掉。雙人練習的部分是從Prasarita兩腳180度到手倒立，我和秀秀姐一組，原來她有參加Space的TT，難怪那麼會喬我哩。手平衡的動作包括Bakasana, Vasisthasana, Parsva Bakasana到Eka Pada Koundinyasana I, 但最難的還是Eka Pada Bakasana I，後腳離地停不住。而我的大罩門扭轉也作得不太好，Bound Parsvakonasana站起來平衡還是會鬆掉，手臂外側雖然沒有以前疼痛的感覺,，但還是緊得很。整體來說，今天感覺強度比較強，大休息時真是攤了，還是每到星期四我就覺得比較累？

昨天下班時在健身房前等車，一個推銷健身的小男生走過來，問我是否已經滿22歳？我這個被老公稱為說話總是不算話的老太婆可不會因此沾沾自喜，只能說小朋友識人不久，完全狀況外吧，哈哈哈。我說我的小孩都蠻大了（意思也不該是大到上大學吧），他說那正好有時間可以來跑跑步，這完全是沒帶過小孩的人講的話，真是讓我啼笑皆非，如果他未來會讓他的太太出門去健身，他留在家裏照顧家庭、掃地、煮飯、洗衣服，健身房該頒個獎給他吧。
前二個晚上都是到了8:30左右就開始突然感覺疲勞，跟孩子上床都是9:30左右就睡了，但是今天早上起床時卻特別累，有點小小的擔心上課會不會有點不支，還好整節課還算順利，大家好像也都比較晚到，秀秀姐都快算遲到了，後來才知道她睡晚了，看來大家都累，怪了。今天的主題是臣服surrender，沒有雙人練習，我左邊的同學我不認識，右邊還是Daniel，看他多喜歡前排中央，位置似乎有默契的留給他似的。動作又加上更多，包括Double Pigeon, Parsva Bakasana, Eka Hasta Bhujasana, Astavakrasana等，開始的梵唱與昨天一樣，今天我比較熟了，模模糊糊的已經可以跟上正確的斷句，慢慢該能熟能生巧吧。Patrick幫我喬了Bound Parsvakonasana，他用兩腳夾住我的後腳，這樣我捲前腳骨盆時，後腳的骨盆才不會又往前成了後彎，這個部分在Trikonasana他也調過我幾次，現在有點懂了。

夏日的好處是天亮得早，五點左右就會自然醒來，比較不會賴床，不過今天打哈欠的同學還真不少，讓我都有點想啊~~~伸個懶腰。今天左邊是秀秀姐，右側又是Daniel，他是少數Pure老師喜歡在第一排正中央位置的。課程加入了更多Chant，不過今天都是我不熟的，只能跟著哼哼，動作上與前兩個星期也有更多不同，主題是commitment。拜日式暖身時間少了，尤其是後半段，加入伸展大腿前側的動作，King Pigeon,Bhekasana,Dhanurasana、還有三角式後彎、Standing Bow、Hanumanasan、立輪起身等，Patrick說他可以深刻感受到有些同學面對新的挑戰了，Daniel大概是其中一個吧，當我三角式後彎真的碰到他時，他有點驚嚇，等劈腿時，他還跟我說"Easy Fly?"其實我們練劈腿也是苦練的，不是天生就下得去，想到當開始要練劈腿時，我真是想不到老到這種年紀還得練，冬天早晨不到七點、八度沒有空調一樣劈，汗如雨下啊~但我現在很喜歡這些動作了，所以還是得經過一定的過程吧，Patrick今天幫我調這兩週來已經可以穩穩飛翔的Eka Pada Koundinyasana II肩膀要更打開，另外輪式單腳舉高時兩腳都幫我壓腳底，Chops也來幫我在輪式要把頭頂向他扶在後腦的手掌，所以今天後彎動作都做得夠深，不過腰已經不酸了，好現象。
這節課一開始就是梵唱，Patrick只說Please join me，就開始大家一起唱：
Gayatri mantra (for meditation)
OM BHUR BHUVAT SVAH
TAT SAVITUR VARENYAM
BHARGO DEVASYA DHIMAHI
DHIYO YO NAH PRACODAYAT
Let us meditate on the splendour of the God Savitru (Sun), who will illuminate our understanding
重複22次，together, Santih, santih, santih，才開始靜坐，please fold your hands, let's begin once again, may we commit ourself to this practice, we commit ourself with light heartiness付出柔和的心, to be art of yoga, namaste。

昨天是端午節，想想去年此時人在上海哩，時間過得可真快，一整天從早到晚都安排吃喝玩樂快樂的家庭生活，本想傍晚或是晚上想再找個時間上節瑜珈課，但我的個性就是不太習慣晚上練瑜珈，一到家洗了澡就發懶不想出門（藉口滿滿），結果整天沒上瑜珈課、也沒寫一個字的Blog，唯一跟Pure有連結的事是預約課程，哈哈哈，好個悠閒的端午節呀。
所以今天早上來上課已經睡得飽飽，除了因為星期六時練習Camel接Wheel讓我大腿前側還有點酸，不過很快練完呼吸法時就已經鬆開了，我才發現身體真的有時候是需要休息的。
今天我的右邊是永遠笑口常開的秀秀姐、左邊是永遠精神奕奕的以芬（以後可以來上早課沒問題啦），完美組合。今天的主題是Mystery，另外課程前後都加入了更長時間的呼吸法練習，我覺得課程更完整了。動作後半段也開始有些不一樣，加入Pigeon Pose和 Hanumanasana，這兩個動作Patrick都來幫我後腳大腿作內旋，感覺真的就很不一樣。
今天早上天氣很好，Patrick用生澀中文道早安，他說so beautiful morning in Taipei，now let's closed eyes and look within, allow our dristi to gaze within, on the first day on the second half of our morning hour intensive, we have learned a lots of them, we still have two weeks of yoga, and much more than that, we still have everything before that, all of which add to this moment, so now we open the the mystery of life beyond, may this practice this morning open us up to the mysteries of life of our own heart, these really are so simple, beyond all the technique, life's own power of intention, may we set our mind toward our heart, open to the deep mysteries of life within, please fold your hands with me, soften to your breath, allow your pelvis and your legs to rest in deep of the earth, allow your inner body to expand, outer body soften, our song begin with three om, take deep breath in, 三次OM與三次Anusara Innovation開始今天早晨的練習。
Please roll forward on your knees, sit on your heel on Virasana,...

今天是第二個三小時練習的星期六，有兩位從香港來的Pure老師加入我們的練習，上周六的主題是象神Ganesha，這個星期六的主題則是猴王Hanuman हनुमत्，我想那也許後面兩個星期也會以印度神祇為主題，一定也會有Shiva吧？上課前實在有點熱鬧，Patrick老師還放了快節奏的音樂，情緒很high的樣子^_^lll...
開始上課的時候請大家靠攏，Patrick問Fly How do you sleep? 他說因為擔心今天三小時的練習worry about the class，還作了惡夢nightmare，哈哈，Patrick說this is great moment, this bring topic of Hanuman, you look to Fly, please stand up, I present to you~Hanuman, 哈哈，there is beautiful aspect of Hanuman he is so powerful, he have all the powers of universe, there are 8 super power in yoga, we call them siddhis。我查了網站，八種力量是The eight siddhis: anima (the power to assimilate oneself with an atom); mahima (the power to expand oneself into space); laghima (the power to be as light as cotton or any similar thing); garima (the power to be as heavy as anything); prapti (the power of reaching anywhere, even to the moon); prakamya (the power of having all wishes, of whatever description, realized); isvata (power to create); vasvita (power to command all).
Patrick說Hanuman embody all eight, but you know what? He doesn't know he has them, the beautiful thing is our relationship are power to reveal, so when we practice together in this big tribe, we begin to revel each other's power, we start to say “wow, Daniel, you are so powerful.'' and Daniel says “who, I am?” Hanuman's power is come from the heart, his devotion is so strong, nothing can stop him, as we know, powers put on wrong man, it can be misuse, George Bush comes to mind, 哈哈，David Life老師也常拿Bush出來講哩。Patrick說it can be use for good or knock me所以力量可以是好的、也可能是不好的，in the story in yoga, the stories we told with characters of God, how does understand how to use power in positive way, how do these power not for our own good, not only but for everyone, 自己的行為可以幫助到每一個人can help everyone，aligned with whole nature, this story of Hanuman has good characters, and people are not so good like losing his power，it's told the powers the Hanuman embodies, only reveal to him, it's going so deep, yes, he is going so deep, he see side question his devotion, when he looks his heart, and he remember that's he like so much, he loves Rama, just like he loves himself, when he go so deep, I like this life, I am so bless to be in this body in this room right now, and only then, the power reveal, it's combination組合, the courage is the monkey God Hanuman是學生最高層次的謙卑, giant巨人謙卑humble, endurable時、他的力量就會提升，Hanuman in yoga to yogies become drishti and focus是最好學生的代表，他至高的榮耀與尊敬他的老師，他說Hanuman在神像中出現時，永遠都有明顯的Shoulder Loop，哈哈，但同時他也保持Kidney Loop, he always remember, because his heart is the power, “I got power!” he never forget...

秀秀姐回來上課了，今天我們也都在前排，我右手邊正中央的位置到上課都沒人，Patrick還問我是否是空的，結果最後Daniel來填了這個位置。其實如果是平時的課程，那個位置大家可能都用搶的，TT卻讓賢到最後沒人敢要，怪了。
昨天為了讓腰休息，除了晨間練習，我就沒選其他的課，下午還請假休息，今天早上感覺我的腰幾乎是全好了，讓我鬆了口氣，而今天的課程主題是Progress，所以大多是練習過的動作，Patrick停留的時間也不太長，伸展的時間卻蠻夠的，要我們用自己已經學習到的Alignment自行調整動作，二個小時內沒有停下來示範或是雙人練習，一直Flow到課程結束，所以我可以調整自己練習的幅度，就更輕鬆了，感覺非常舒服的一節課。

昨天到了晚上，腰還是不舒服，所以很晚了還是過去中醫診所針灸，第一針就在左腳膝蓋後的委中穴，讓我想起以前雲媖老師常說經穴歌訣「腰背委中求」，11針加上有勁的推拿，走路回家時就已經舒服多了，實在很神奇。晚班的郭師父第一次麻煩他，手勁兒很有力，問我痛不痛，我說我很耐痛，真的說會痛時人家都早就哇哇叫了，所以實在很難回答痛不痛，他笑說那已經是劇痛了，幽默的說我是不是少了根神經？我想不只一根吧，我總是不知不覺、糊裡糊塗的。醫生開了藥給我，理中湯4克、當歸四逆湯4克、威靈仙1克、補骨脂1克、淫羊霍1克、杜仲2克、桑寄生2克，五天份三餐後服用。
早上起床時已經覺得好多了，出門前幫還在熟睡中的老二換藥，紗布連著傷口會粘著把皮也撕下來，痛得孩子都醒了，要不是媽媽哄著換藥，可能孩子的眼淚都要奪框而出了，還好新的紗布有non-stick的外層，之後該不用再受這樣的皮肉之苦了，希望勤換藥能快點好起來。
選位置又是大難題，今天有幾個人沒來，包括秀秀姐與乃珍，我本來選第二排，七點以芬來了，笑著說我為什麼要在後面？想在前面的人早就來了啦，所以我又移到前面中央的位置去，Patrick今天也比較早來，笑說對我們說Welcome back to the front row，哈哈。
今天的主題就很明確，整節二小時都圍繞在同個主題上，就是樂趣fun, joy, happiness。而且還引申為3F：Fun, Free, and Fullness。我練習時一直注意我的腰，讓下背擴張，不過後彎都練得比較含蓄些，雙人練習時我就沒練Drop Back，以芬花了很多時間與力氣幫我按摩下背部，所以順利完成今天的練習，真感恩。
我們先靜坐三分鐘等晚到的同學，然後開始上課，Patrick道了早安之後，要我們雙手合十眼睛閉，由於今天艷陽高照，他說such a beautiful morning outside today, the sun seems so perfect as I walk in the street today, humidity is down and the temperature in the air is so invited, it's like a fun weather outside right now, it's playful, what the great privilege(恩典、殊榮) of being a body is to have fun有趣的地方就是你要去享受它，this is freedom to really enjoy this life, first principle just remember that, just come back for all the amazing teaches we learned去想到所有我們所學到不可思議的教導，all the complexity of this wonderful life在生命中有很多複雜性，we come back into our heart, and to remember, that's fun to be a yogi, soften to our own heart, we allow ourselves to have fun, let's open to freedom have fun through all the practices, and begin by singing the song of om three times, please take a deep breath in, 接著同樣是三次Anusara Innovation, to a potential having fun we bow向我們有可能的樂趣鞠躬, namaste, so simply, the potential having fun。

早上起床時已經覺得好多了，出門前幫還在熟睡中的老二換藥，紗布連著傷口會粘著把皮也撕下來，痛得孩子都醒了，要不是媽媽哄著換藥，可能孩子的眼淚都要奪框而出了，還好新的紗布有non-stick的外層，之後該不用再受這樣的皮肉之苦了，希望勤換藥能快點好起來。
選位置又是大難題，今天有幾個人沒來，包括秀秀姐與乃珍，我本來選第二排，七點以芬來了，笑著說我為什麼要在後面？想在前面的人早就來了啦，所以我又移到前面中央的位置去，Patrick今天也比較早來，笑說對我們說Welcome back to the front row，哈哈。
今天的主題就很明確，整節二小時都圍繞在同個主題上，就是樂趣fun, joy, happiness。而且還引申為3F：Fun, Free, and Fullness。我練習時一直注意我的腰，讓下背擴張，不過後彎都練得比較含蓄些，雙人練習時我就沒練Drop Back，以芬花了很多時間與力氣幫我按摩下背部，所以順利完成今天的練習，真感恩。
我們先靜坐三分鐘等晚到的同學，然後開始上課，Patrick道了早安之後，要我們雙手合十眼睛閉，由於今天艷陽高照，他說such a beautiful morning outside today, the sun seems so perfect as I walk in the street today, humidity is down and the temperature in the air is so invited, it's like a fun weather outside right now, it's playful, what the great privilege(恩典、殊榮) of being a body is to have fun有趣的地方就是你要去享受它，this is freedom to really enjoy this life, first principle just remember that, just come back for all the amazing teaches we learned去想到所有我們所學到不可思議的教導，all the complexity of this wonderful life在生命中有很多複雜性，we come back into our heart, and to remember, that's fun to be a yogi, soften to our own heart, we allow ourselves to have fun, let's open to freedom have fun through all the practices, and begin by singing the song of om three times, please take a deep breath in, 接著同樣是三次Anusara Innovation, to a potential having fun we bow向我們有可能的樂趣鞠躬, namaste, so simply, the potential having fun。

P1396 (待續)TT Morning Intensive 24-9/Patrick (120min)
今天進教室時隔間還沒移開，又讓我陷入不知道該坐在哪裡的窘境，是否TT前一天課上有宣布，只是我們晨間練習的人不知道？昨天佔位置的Daniel今天很晚才到，他也沒選中間前排的位置，但我選回前排，只是換到左側一些，因為昨天錄音效果真的差很多，聽起來格外辛苦。
今天的主題比較不明顯，如果去歸納，應該可以稱為Fullness，不過不像之前的每一天都是從頭到尾圍繞這個主題。雙人練習比較多(昨天完全沒有)。
靜坐時Patrick要我們先把大腿內旋，要我們create balance, give us opportunity to seek the full, seat back to feel the flow of energy, the right, the left, the front, the back，瑜珈的藝術就是找到完整的自我，the same as life啟發我們的生命，the find us great technique to refine the balance，我們要用小小的技巧去調整細微的一切來找到生命的完整，兩手心前合掌，打開自己去經驗，讓我們的聲音和諧，確認梵唱時我們是在確認一個平衡，讓柔去平衡聽大家的聲音，soften the voice, soften the ears，從這一切我們才去奉獻自己的聲音，when we offer we offer the whole，當我們奉獻時是完整的聲音，begin with 3 om, with deep breath in，三次之後Patrick說hold on, when you chant, we can apply technique, with that technique create the balance of flow energy, to create more full sound, so when we chant，first we listen, the first principle is to listen, listen and hear the flow, then we create the vibration of voice, our voice will go up and out, so we create balance, you want push your energy down, in this position, you push your pelvis into the floor, you allow your energy go down, and from that, the voice will rise natural, it will rise more balance flow, you start up feeling，感覺自己的臀部與腿，soften to that, we begin with one om and Innovations，讓能量與大地更為連結。To the fullness of this day, we bow.
To a deep downward dog, Patrick說we all seeking the whole fullness，瑜珈是藝術去調整，we balance our energy, 下犬式可以感覺到手掌與腳掌的平衡，just feel and open the energy，it's really like an art, 當手往下推的時候，心的能量會與大地有更多的連接，腰身拉長往教室的後面方向延伸，可以感覺到手掌與腳掌的平衡，兩腳往前走站姿前彎，感覺到手掌與腳掌need quite foundation, you can stand on your fingertip, and just feel the energy of whole body, feel the full experience of the body, 瑜珈練習必須完全去體驗，感受到身體的改變，我們往內看、讓身體的能量更平衡better，手掌與腳掌往上送集中到focal point，所有的能量都往這個core焦點送，送到這裡時再往後延伸，透過軀幹與手臂，手放骨盆，肩膀往後，臀部往下扎根，reach energy down像梵唱一樣，吸氣兩手往上，feel pulse energy，吐氣前彎，吸氣延伸，大腿往後、腰身往前，吐氣前彎，手放骨盆，肩膀往後，it's balance，吸氣兩手往上，吐氣兩手放下胸前合掌，feel the current，stand tall, the fullness of whole body will open energy down, 我們打開去接受這個能量。
吸氣兩手往上，吐氣前彎，吸氣延伸，plank pose, step or jump, legs straight, arms straight, we pause here, feel the energy, the focal point is the pelvis, all energy magnetized in one center, even power，吐氣Chaturanga慢慢趴下...
