Found this video through Tobye at Elephant in this article and as an experiment I went to practice right after watching it. It was magic!
Visualizing how the fuzz can go away was cosmically helpful. By fuzz I do not mean like when I am the one doing a fuzz... you know? like when I do not want to drop back. No. I mean literarly the fuzz that is in between our tissues or something, I do not know all the terms yet, I have to watch the video again. 20 times.
I want to share this with everyone who does not stretch daily. That will teach them! I am thinking, as if I had some power over anyone. I know I don't but it sure worked for me.

That was fun, thanks for sharing that Claudia, but tell me, will you be taking a rest day this week and what about the next moonday? Beware the fuzz! Ramaswami talked a lot about employing a wide range of vinyasa (posture variations) in our practice to access all areas of the body, makes even more sense after watching this.
ReplyDelete"We can see time...in fuzz" I love the fuzz speech! Thank you for sharing this, he's such a great speaker.
ReplyDeleteMind blowing right? I showed it to the husband as a "motivator".
ReplyDelete@Grimmly ha ha ha!, I thought about that,as you rightly imagined, got a bit paranoid and all, what about my fuzz on Saturdays! further more I think the moon is Sunday! I will be completely fuzzed up by Monday, it is not good. I remember Jen in India was talking about this too, but seeing the video, just as you mention after listening to Ramaswami makes a lot of sense. I like the visuals.
ReplyDeleteSavasanaaddict, I am a fan too... and yes he is good.
@Sereneflavor, did you? really? what did he say... hee hee I talked to J about it on the train ride home today, I will show it to him too see if he is more inclined to join me on the mat more often... hee hee again
junk.. junk science
ReplyDeletea pile of deceptive garbage!
why not talk about loss of strength, anaerobic or aerobic atrophy … I mean come on
Are people fooled so easily?
Hi Anonymous, I was totally fooled yes, I believed and hanged in to every word. Is this not correct? how so? could you illuminate us?

Thank you Grimmly!
ReplyDeleteWell that puts the "gross" back in gross anatomy :)
ReplyDeleteSo I know he's using the term "fuzz" to make this more accessible and maybe a little fun to learn... but then what does that translate to in our practices (and our lives in general)? Would 'fuzz' be the scar tissue that eventually forms those nasty adhesions in the muscles?
Liska, yes that is my understanding.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately everyone is looking for a free lunch…just look at society today.
ReplyDeleteThis can be seen with people looking to exploit for money or ego selling get healthy with little effort yoga classes, books on how this secret diet will make you younger. Buy our products, follow our “religion” / life style and realize we are right.
Yea, stretching (not some overpriced yoga class) is better than lack of any movement. .. duh. Or fall for the religion of anything “mother earth” or the cult mindset.
Snake oil salesmen, in medicine, politics, religion, or our Nobel peace prize winner all believe they can talk and scam the public. Lets get real and take out the fuzz.. fuzzy bullshit
Anonymous, not sure I follow your reasoning. I detect a bit of anger in your message, but fair enough, that is your view.
ReplyDeleteAnyone who's chosen Ashtanga as a means to get healthy "with little effort" made a severe miscalculation ;-)
ReplyDeleteLiska, that woud be a miscalculation, yes... :-)
