Yesterday Patrick was in town to teach the special Wild Lotus classes. He is the director of yoga at Pure yoga. I have been to his previous workshops when he was in Singapore and have enjoyed them tremendously.
This time round, there were many more people in the class, 55 of us if I am not wrong.
And it was “HOT” class… literally speaking. Everyone around me was perspiring and dripping all over. Gosh…it was a “sweat”shop!
However it was still good as he gave all of us a tiny taste of what’s to come next in workshops in the 2 days that follow. His yoga style is Anusara and this is the type of yoga I truly enjoy :
Having fun, opening your heart. A balance of softness and muscular strength. Grace and power.
A full expression of your pose.
Lots of downdogs and chaturangas with emphasis on our hands, the fingers digging into the mat, knuckles down on the mat, strong arms to create stability and strength. Plus the warriors 1, 2, triangles, tree with backbend, side plank with backbend, bridges, wheels with variations etc.
I wished I could have gone for the rest of the 2 workshops over this weekend but alas… next time!
