Intense Side Stretch Pose
Parsvottanasana
Anatomical Focus: Brain, Hamstrings, Shoulders, Wrists, Spine
Contraindications and
Cautions: If you have a back injury or
high blood pressure, avoid the full forward bend; instead do Ardha
Parsvottanasana (pronounced are-dah = half). Perform steps 1 and 2 as described
above, a couple of feet from and facing a wall. With an exhalation lower your
torso parallel to the floor and reach your hands out to the wall. Press your
palms actively into the wall (preferably with your elbows fully extended),
keeping your front torso longer than your back.
Stand in Tadasana .
With an exhalation, step or lightly jump your feet 3½ to 4 feet apart. Rest
your hands on your hips. Turn your left foot in 45 to 60 degrees to the right
and your right foot out to the right 90 degrees. Align the right heel with the
left heel. Firm your thighs and turn your right thigh outward, so that the
center of the right knee cap is in line with the center of the right ankle.
Exhale and rotate your torso to the right,
squaring the front of your pelvis as much as possible with the front edge of
your mat. As the left hip point turns forward, press the head of the left femur
back to ground the back heel. Press your outer thighs inward, as if squeezing a
block between your thighs. Firm your scapulas against your back torso, lengthen
your coccyx toward the floor, and arch your upper torso back slightly.
With another exhalation, lean the torso forward
from the groins over the right leg. Stop when the torso is parallel to the
floor. Press your fingertips to the floor on either side of the right foot. If
it isn’t possible for you to touch the floor, support your hands on a pair of
blocks or the seat of a folding chair. Press the thighs back and lengthen the
torso forward, lifting through the top of the sternum.
In this pose the front-leg hip tends to lift up
toward the shoulder and swing out to the side, which shortens the front-leg
side. Be sure to soften the front-leg hip toward the earth and away from the
same-side shoulder while you continue squeezing the outer thighs. Press the
base of the big toe and the inner heel of the front foot firmly into the floor,
then lift the inner groin of the front leg deep into the pelvis.
Hold your torso and head parallel to the floor
for a few breaths. Then, if you have the flexibility, bring the front torso
closer to the top of the thigh, but don’t round forward from the waist to do
this. Eventually the long front torso will rest down on the thigh. Hold your
maximum position for 15 to 30 seconds, then come up with an inhalation by
pressing actively through the back heel and dragging the coccyx first down and
then into the pelvis. Then go to the left side.

I Taught Myself To Live
Simply by Anna Akhmatova
I taught myself to live simply and wisely,
to look at the sky and pray to God,
and to wander long before evening
to tire my superfluous worries.
When the burdocks rustle in the ravine
and the yellow-red rowanberry cluster droops
I compose happy verses
about life's decay, decay and beauty.
I come back. The fluffy cat
licks my palm, purrs so sweetly
and the fire flares bright
on the saw-mill turret by the lake.
Only the cry of a stork landing on the roof
occasionally breaks the silence.
If you knock on my door
I may not even hear.

Just fall in love again
Just one touch and then it happens every time
There I go I
Just fall in love again
and when I do
I can't help myself I fall in love with you

It must be magic
The way I hold you and the night just seems to fly
Easy
For you to take me to a star
Heaven is that moment when I look into your eyes
Chorus:
And though I
Just fall in love again
Just one touch and then it happens every time
