「瑜珈順位」課程是以體位法研習的方式進行,一堂課一個主題,並延伸出相關的體位法。所謂的「Alignment」字義是調準、校直、列隊,在瑜珈體位法的練習中,結合生理學、生物力學和解剖學,認識骨骼、關節、肌肉的走向與彼此的配合,正確安全地在姿勢中靜心,讓能量流動。
知識是用來實踐與經驗的 ,專有名詞並不重要,不需要勉強背誦,重要的是在運動的過程中,更加了解自己身體與幫助自己安全有效的練習。
不同的身體會有不同的調整要點,因此這堂課會需要每個人的參與,不管是作為示範者、協助者或是觀察者,希望大家用「你就是我、我就是你」的開放心態去學習,或許有些做不到的動作覺得挫折,但是因為你的示範可以讓大家作為參考;作為觀察者,我們也要抱持著感謝同學的示範,幫助我們看到自己;而作為輔助者,教學相長,可在輔助的過程中學習更多。
“Asana Alignment” proceeds in the analysis of asanas, featuring one theme in one class, and extends to relevant asanas. The so-called “Alignment” literally means adjust, straighten, and line up is; during practicing yoga asanas, it combines physiology, biomechanics and anatomy with knowing the direction and the collaboration of bones, joints and muscles, allowing us to safely meditate in postures correctly and let the energy flow. Knowledge is for actual practice and gaining experience, hence the terminology is not important and you don’t have to forcibly memorize it, while the key is to understand your body more and facilitate your safe and effective practice through the process of exercise. Different bodies require different adjustment points, and thus this class requires the participation of everyone. Whether it’s the demonstrator, assistant, or the observer, we hope everyone holds an open attitude as “you are me while as I am you” for learnings. Perhaps you may feel frustrated not being able to achieve certain postures, but your demonstration could be the reference for everyone. As an observer, we should be thankful to the demonstrating classmates for helping us see ourselves. As an assistant, you get to learn more during the assistance since teaching benefits the teacher as well.
