VIP Class Notes (Jesse) [W]

read the writing from today and focus on pronunciation – AEIOU should be clear

I finish explaining the downward dog yoga pose. I put the begining again.

Explaining yoga movements in Spanish is not easy, and even more difficult in English. For example, downward dog? If you want to do that posture, first you need to put your knees on the ground and then your palms, then also your toes. You must focus that your palms are in right position, making a line from your shoulders, and your distance between the palms are same as your shoulders have, and your distance between your knees also are same as your hip and these make a line from your hip to your knees. After this posture, immediately that you have your extremities in right position, you should push down on the floor to activate your muscles and start to lift the hip as high as possible. Your coccyx makes a vertex with your hands and feet. Breathe all the time and don’t stop pushing the floor, making your back straighter, and trying to see how your body forms a line from your hands to your coccyx and from your coccyx to feet and your whole body an inverted V.

Now I will finish explaining the downward dog yoga pose. I will put the beginning of my last yoga writing again.

After this posture, immediately you have your extremities in the right position, and you should push down on the floor to activate your muscles and start to lift your hips as high as possible. Your coccyx makes a vertex / peak, with your hands and feet being on either side. Breathe all the time and don’t stop pushing the floor, making your back straighter, and trying to see how your body forms a line from your hands to your coccyx and from your coccyx to your feet and your whole body is like an inverted V.

Explaining yoga in English for me is hard

SVO = Subject Verb Object / Adj

Dancing is fun = your point

Fast ballet dancing is fun
Fast ballet = which ballet

Fast ballet dancing is fun for me to do every day
For me = who thinks this
To do = focus on the verb
Every day = time / how often

Add conjunctions to continue sentence but then SVO starts again 
On Sunday, very quickly, I woke up in my bed with my husband because we were happy so we had coffee.

Vocabulary

it just depended / it depends = there’s no specific reason

make sure = focus on it and make it happen
eg. you need to make sure that your shoulders stay straight
