As I embark on my second Yoga Teacher Training, I need an outlet to vent my frustrations with the whole process. Though I expect there will be many moments when I will not agree with what is being taught, I go a bit crazy when scientific findings are used as proof of concept for a completely unrelated topic. Grumph.
I chose the above pose because it was a point of contention between the teacher and me today. We disagreed on what is being “stretched” in this posture, and as it is a pet peeve of mine to hear people say back bends are a great “back stretch”, I challenge him. Let’s just say he chose his words much more carefully after that moment.
