 | Homework Instructions New students, please read (1) how to create a user name and (2) how to submit your homework. | 2 | 2 | |
| 007 What's next? What are your yoga goals? Please be concrete, positive, and specific. Please include physical (or mental) and spiritual goals. | 3 | 3 | |
| 006 What is Spirit? Yoga is a spiritual practice. Contemplate and write about what 'Spirit' means to you. Please post your homework BEFORE reading the homework of others. | 12 | 23 | |
| 005 Strike a Pose! Get someone to take a picture of you doing a yoga pose (outside of a yoga studio). Post your picture here! | 9 | 20 | |
| 004 Namaste Practice 'Namas' means 'to bow'. 'Te' means 'you'. 'Namaste' can mean 'the light in me honors the light in you'. Look for 'namaste' moments every day. Honor the light in others by quietly saying or just thinking 'namaste'. Please share some of your experiences here. Alternatively, you can use 'OM Namah Shivaya' (see Keric's homework for a translation). | 8 | 19 | |
| 003 Handstand Practice 1. Every day, do at least two handstands or L-Pose against a wall. Time yourself or simply count your breaths. In every attempt, try to increase the duration of the inversions by 5 seconds or an extra breath. 2. If you do L-Pose for the timings, then please practice kicking up to the wall. Make a minimum of 5 attempts. 3. If you already kick up easily on one side, practice your 'other' side. Minimum of 5 attempts. 4. If you kick up easily on both sides, then practice jumping up with both feet, legs tucked or straight. Minimum of 5 attempts. 5. Please log the results of your practice here. You can create just one 'topic' and simply reply to your own homework to add your daily results. Please note your thoughts and feelings, in addition to simply reporting on what you did. *** One or two shoulder stretches before the handstand practice is highly recommended. *** | 16 | 67 | |
| 002 What archetype(s) do you have in your life? "An archetype is an original model of a person, ideal example, or a prototype upon which others are copied, patterned, or emulated; a symbol universally recognized by all." - Wikipedia definition.
Archetypes can take the form of religious figures, role models, authority figures, teachers, celebrities, fictional characters, etc. They often exemplify the way that we want to live, think, and act. Who (or what) are the archetypes in your life? | 17 | 36 | |
