Synopsis

Lesson Outline
- Sit cross-legged. Bend head R; place R hand on L temple. Bend R and return. Let L shoulder lift. Change hands and notice what this does to head, how you site. Switch leg-crossing, and do this to other side. Elbow goes L, not forward.
- Same start: stay bent R, as low as comfortable. Slide L hand along from back of neck to R elbow. Slowly; not all at once.
- Other side.
- Sit, legs straight and spread. Lower head, and turn face L. R hand on L ear. Go towards floor (with R elbow, not body) and stay. Place back of L hand in small of back, and take L elbow backwards. Wrist bends. Forwards & backwards. L elbow moves relative to body.
- Same situation: move back to take L elbow backwards and R elbow forwards. (L elbow and body move together.) Stay down low & just take L elbow backwards.
- Other side: everything together, then rest, then just R elbow backwards.
- Sit with legs spread, backs of both hands on low back. Take both elbows backwards, as if to touch. (No rest): Lie on R side with R hand on low back/elbow like this, bent back, and place back of L hand on low back, and take L elbow backwards. Take the head back and this helps elbows come closer. Other side. Then sit and take both elbows backwards. Erect the back.
- Sit cross-legged. Lower head; turn face R, L hand on R ear, R hand on back of neck. Lift R elbow towards ceiling. Then turn with the whole back, so R elbow lifts and L elbow goes towards R knee.
- Change crossing of legs/other side. But start with whole back, and then stay low and just do L elbow up.
- Sit, legs spread, and bend head R, R hand on head. Tehn continue, place L hand on floor to R of knee/thigh, and go down to the R until elbow touches floor. Take elbow to L hand, and then backwards.
- Other side.
- Sit, legs crossed. Repeat second (sliding hand along arm to elbow). Then sit with legs long, lower head, and interlace hands behind neck. Open elbows, and turn shoulders so R elbow goes up and L elbow towards R knee. Change interlacing of the hands and go the other direction.
