Guest guest Posted October 7, 2000 Report Share Posted October 7, 2000 Current gestation topic reminds me of one of my teacher's remarks on 1st series. <br><br>In his opinion, 1st series was a process of *re-birthing.* I was suprised to hear this, having never heard this view before, but the more I considered the structure of 1st series the more sense his POV made to me.<br><br>Working outward through the sun salutations (Vedically, the connection with the source of life's heaven- energy), we go through basic standing poses, then forward bends, (something like the folding process of fetal tissue development), heat and opennings increasing as we head towards the zenith of the 1st series -- garbha pindasana, the embryo in the womb.<br><br>Maybe this is just a metaphoric way of looking at 1st series, but I've always liked it.
