Class 13
The Weaving of Opposites: Sweeping Arms into 90-90 Rotation
Open to members
The notes and sequence for this class are open to everyone. Playing it needs a membership.
What this class works with
The third class in a continuing exploration of shape-shifting, this time centered on how the body meets space: a flexion can become a rotation, a rotation an extension, one shape continuously becoming another. Parveen adds a further layer, that within any extension there is already contraction, and within contraction there is already expansion, so the opposites aren't alternating but woven together. The class builds through pendulums and warrior variations into a kneeling sweep that spirals down into a seated 90-90 rotation, with three-legged dog flows on both sides, recorded from a traditional Balinese house.
In this class
- •Floating chair with internal and external arm rotation and pelvic tilt, imagining two towels crumpling front and back
- •Kneeling sweep of the floor and arms flowing into a seated 90-90 rotation, extending the free leg into a side bend, noticing contraction within extension and expansion within contraction
- •Warrior One built through low lunge, arms floating back and forward as the hips shift, expanding and contracting through the same pose
- •Three-legged downward dog into high plank, four-point kneeling, and the recurring child / cat / cow pattern
- •ragdoll with clasped hands extending toward the toes, windshield wipers into Shavasana
