- AY Volume 7, Part B.
- Reel 22, Track 4, Lesson 4
- Duration: 43 minutes
Synopsis
- The title is incorrect. At no time does one use the hand to lean on the knee.
- This is a nice preparation/clarification of some functions needed in the Yoga pose “Downward Dog”
- The first part of the lesson investigates discovering a clear and simple “side flexion” from the head through to the pelvis /sit bones while on the side, supported by the elbow.
- Then, given this relationship being possible, we support ourselves with the Right elbow and left foot and explore ways to move the right leg, forward, backward.
- Eventually hopping, that is, on hands and knees (toes long), raising pelvis and straightening legs, landing on the feet, then returning — with the constraint of minimal sound upon landing.
Lesson Outline
- A highly condensed outline of key movements could be added later.
