Every one of these looks like a different pose. In todayâs two-hour class, they were all the same pose.
Randy built the whole sequence around one action: the inner groins, the crease where the inner thigh meets the pelvis. It started on the floor and a bolster, in Supta Padangusthasana and its variations â legs going straight up, out to the side, bent and drawn in, the strap doing the holding so the mind could stay on the groin rather than the grip. From there the same instruction followed the class off the mat entirely: into Adho Mukha Vrksasana at the wall, into Urdhva Padmasana in Sirsasana, into a weighted Ardha Chandrasana with a sandbag hanging from the back foot to feel the inner grouns. It showed up again in Trikonasana with the front foot toes lifted, in Upavista Konasana and its twist, in Bhujapidasana, in Ardha Padma Paschimottanasana and Ardha Matsyendrasana II, and finally in Pindasana in Sarvangasana to close â and thatâs still only part of what the full two hours covered.
Thatâs the part thatâs easy to miss watching from the outside. It isnât twelve unrelated shapes strung together. Itâs one understanding, asked for again and again in positions that have almost nothing else in common â lying down, standing, twisting, upside down, balanced on the hands. The shape keeps changing so the action can be found more precisely each time.
This was advanced work, built session by session over years, not a sequence to lift and attempt on your own. But the principle underneath it applies at any level: notice what your inner groins are doing even in the simplest pose you practice, because thatâs the same seed everything else here grew from.
