From Brandon Calleja Shaw via Raz Ori. There is apparently a large problem with the translation (not a small one over word choice, but major errors in the lesson).
From article #2 onwards the lesson is true to the original. Raz’s notes are below:
Article #1 (which is missing many parts takes 27:00 minutes of the total 43 minutes lesson.
The easiest way for me to give you the corrections is to just outline the process happening throughout this section. I will give a number to each step but don’t confuse my numbers with the numbers in the transcript. So use the following to substitute entirely section #1 with its many sub-articles.
- On your back, left hand over your head, bend to the right in the plane of the floor, as sliding your left hand on the floor back and forth to the right. Slide your head to the right and bend your back to the right without lifting anything from the floor.
- Stay bent to the right, and keep sliding the left hand further to the right, lifting the shoulder and elbow from the floor (but don’t turn). Lengthen your right hand down your right thigh as you do so.
- Stay as bent to the right as you possibly can (within your comfort range) with your entire shoulder girdle bent to the right. Now place your right hand between your forehead and the top of your head, holding your head with your hand and bend your head with the help of your hand to the right and to the left (not turning the head, nose stays towards the ceiling)
- Stay with your head bent as far to the right as possible, place your right hand back down by your thigh and lengthen your right hand towards your knee.
- Stay there with your right hand and place your left hand on your head between your forehead and the top of your head to bend your head right and left. As you bend your head to the left, increase the folding in your chest, increase the lengthening of your right hand down towards your knee.
- Rest on your back (there were no rests until this point, and this took 8 minutes).
- Return bending to the right in the same way as we just did. Stay there, and with your right hand grab a hold of your left wrist over your head. Both elbows are on the floor. Now pull the left hand to the right using your right hand. At first you can lift your left elbow and feel your left shoulder wanting to lift from the floor as if turning to the right. But, then stop lifting and keep everything in the plane of the floor.
- Stay as far to the right as you can (still with the same hand position), slide your left leg right and left, keeping it straight, without lifting your pelvis.
- Keep your left leg close to the right and slide your right leg to the right and back.
- Keep your right leg open to the right and bend your torso further to the right with sliding your hand back and further and after a few times stay as far to the right again.
- Slide your left leg again right and left without lifting your pelvis, feeling the elongation of the left side of the back.
- Rest on your back (we are 15 minutes into the lesson and we only went to the right the entire time).
- Come standing, notice differences between sides, try bending your head with your hand sliding down the thigh on one side and the other.
- Repeat the whole process to the left, including coming to standing. This section ends 27 minutes into the lesson.
- Now article #2 from the English transcript begins at 27:50 into the lesson.
