I loved this practice tonight. Gabby Melissa and I were the only ones to show up to Lauries class in ventnor so we got to play around with the suspension ropes and harnesses. Laurie showed us the form she usually practices in the harness and told us she uses them every morning. Besides the pinching the ropes caused in my hips, I loved the harness work. Using the harness I got a very localized experience of the moves we see in regular practice. I was able to focus on my front leg in one position or my spine in another, without worry about supporting myself or how the rest of my body needed to be really. I also LOVED the back bends and inversions. We went from an inverted butterfly position, extended our legs, and went into one of the best handstands I've ever been in. As someone raised doing gymnastics I am used to a very different type of handstand with a different center of gravity and a different positional goal. Yoga handstands, and head stands, are very new to me. Using the harness, I really got to understand how a yoga handstand should be and what I should feel like in one. I definitely want to do more work with the harnesses.
