A Quick Word on Tittibhasana


I've received some questions about the tittibhasana sequence in second series from back home.  Here's the current scoop:  Jump on if possible, or arrange as necessary...butt down, feet up - not level.  The insect flies for five, lands for five, walks five double steps forward, five back.  That means twenty movements of the feet total.  Then the insect draws into its shell, feet close together for five.  Finally the insect lifts again for One - not five counts before flying back to chaturanga.  I hope that clarifies things.  There are many insects here in India.  Some fly, some creep and crawl, many are large and many are small.  All, however, are endowed with extra charisma and flair.  Be certain to put some attitude into your sequence to be an authentic India bug.

Hi Vivian - Thanks so much for the passing along the correct sequence! We have been discussing this pose at the studio so it's great to hear about the 'Mysore way'.

A cleaning routine has been established. Signs are up. Info sheets have been organized and are now in the slow process of being put into binders. If you have any other tasks that spring to mind, let me know.

Enjoy the enchantment. And the warmth. And the sun.
