New ATM: Intro to Opening Hips toward half-Lotus

Monday, July 25th, 2011

Last tuesday, july 19th, I subbed for Anita Noone’s ATM class in Solana Beach.   I have been playing for myself with the theme of opening up the hip joints in the direction of going into a half-lotus yoga position.    There are a number of ATMs that help facilitate this.    The lesson I prepared was based on AY#389  which is as usual strangely but accurately titled “Ankle on Knee and Bending”.     Turns out that the realities of teaching ATM caught up with me and I had to improvise a number of changes to the lesson.    What is recorded is that improvisation with still the spirit of AY#389.      Up to about the 45 minute mark, the audio follows a standard ATM trajectory.   The last 10 minutes are not traditional ATM, but still interesting.     The students really enjoyed the lesson.   Let me know how you like it.

The mp3 of the lesson can be downloaded from the ATM Recordings Page or below
