Anatomy Homework for November 28, 2007

This week in class, I used the screen door closer as an example of a pressure mechanism that illustrates how the bandhas operate to support and protect the spine. Can you think of any other examples of pressure devices that operate in a similar way?

Additionally, please read Chapter 7 of "Anatomy of Breathing," and make sure you've completed chapter one of my book.

I look forward to seeing you next Wednesday, when we'll learn about the structures in the pelvic floor region.

A Great Partnership Opportunity!

The Breathing Project, the NYC studio I founded in 2002 , is moving into the second 5 years of its lease. Due to an increase in rent, and an increase in available class times in our studio, we've decided to seek a local yoga program that may be looking for a wonderful new home.

If you are an e-Sutra list member in the NYC area, please circulate this notice to anyone you know who may be interested. We are currently meeting with prospective partners, and hope to begin this new phase of our mission by the new year.

A Great Partnership Opportunity!

The Breathing Project, a beautiful, sunlit yoga studio in the heart of Chelsea is seeking a partnership with a yoga or movement-based training program in need of a new home.

Our main studio is 24x29’ (about 700 sq feet - 30 students on yoga mats capacity), and is equipped with mats, blocks, straps, blankets and other props. There is also a small storage area, skeleton and anatomical models, massage tables, whiteboard, stereo system, a/c and 24-hour heat. There are two bathrooms/changing rooms (one with shower), kitchenette with stove, refrigerator, and sink, and a comfortable reception and retail area. We've created a warm, non-pretentious atmosphere with interesting people.

Your program would have access to new clientele, training and marketing opportunities as well as possible non-profit partnership for fundraising, special projects and grant writing. Available immediately. For information about studio scheduling, rental rates and other questions, please e-mail: leslie@breathingproject.org
