Practice the first 10 classes (above) before our first day. Keep a journal of your questions, observations and bring them to Session 1.

Collaboration 
According to the following chart, I would like you to pair up for a zoom call. Please find out more about each other and offer support in case your cohort missed part of the weekend. Use the call to practice listening and sharing from your heart. Maybe there will be an opportunity to collaborate a bit and uncover a golden, helpful nugget.

Anatomy 
 Know the anatomical positions and directions of movement 
 Know the primary bones in the body
 Know the major muscle groups of the upper leg and how they move the knee and hip
 
Practice Teaching
 Teach Sukhasana to three people who (ideally) have not done it before. Ask the questions that inform you and them. Please keep it simple and observe the approach they take. Watch them move. Seek to understand before you “correct.”
 
Asana Practice
Class plans 1-10 are up on the Avita portal for your practice…and I know some of you have done them already. Practice from the video, but also directly from the Session One booklet. Feel the difference between being guided and practicing on your own. 
 
Siddhartha
Remember to get the edition from Shambhala Publications, and if not too late, please only read to page 28. I’d like to discuss the book in 4 parts and see if we can draw out the essence of the author’s creative motivation. You will want to finish the book in one sitting, but it’s better to take it in a slow stride if you have not yet read the book. 
 

1. To appreciate poetry, we learn to read between the lines. The poet’s words are symbols that point to a bigger idea or concept, the same way an artistic painter wants us to see something “beyond” the painting. Read Siddhartha like poetry. Much is conveyed in few words. Study the well-written introduction for clues into the author’s thinking and motivation. 

2. Consider the inner work Hermann Hesse did in his life (per the introduction). What do you think he is hoping to convey to the reader?

3. Herman Hesse heard two voices in his mind. Which did he listen to? 

4. What makes this a timeless classic?

5. As a teen, Siddhartha had everything but unhappy. Why?

6. On page 7, he reflects on the wisdom of the scripture, but it doesn’t for him. Why? Is it working for his elders? Does more knowledge = peace? His goal? 

7. Siddhartha and Govinda each have a unique approach to life. What is their one fundamental difference as it relates to this story? 

8. Could Siddhartha have taken a more kind and thoughtful approach to leave his parents?

9. On page 15, he has one goal. What are your thoughts on it? Is it one you would share? Have you ever considered living an ascetic life? Maybe you have experimented with living with less. Did it work? 

Journal
 Reflect on your life history to date. Think back on your life and note the key events that have led you to this moment. What key events led to your interest in yoga and the Avita training? Journal on this topic to prepare for the collaboration call with your cohort over zoom.
 
Movie 
Watch Temple Grandin. Pay close attention to her healing journey and how her liability became a gift, not only to her but to the world. Note how healing pressure was used to calm her body and mind.
