Pickleball can wreak havoc on the shoulder, elbow and wrist. Epicondilytis, or 'tennis elbow' in particular, has curbed me and some of my friends in our capacity to play fully and frequently. Unsatisfied with feeling handicapped by the tenderness, I have turned all that I know about functional movement and physical rehab to hack into this condition and heal it. The results have been extremely positive. A lessening of symptoms on and off the court and better play. It turns out using the shoulder girdle well and supporting it with the internal and external core muscles is self-protective and creates a more powerful and controlled swing. This mini-class highlights some of the salient points from my exploration process, shared with a small group of student-friends who have reported back that it’s making a difference in their lives too.

There are a multitude of yoga techniques which manipulate the breath for a myriad of purposes. However, Patanjali’s pranayama sutras (sutras 2:49-2:53) consistently speak of pranayama, breath-control, as a means to still the mind and ultimately to induce samadhi. Over the course of a month, Robin has cultivated a life-time’s worth of uniquely meditative practices centered around the four phases of the breath. Through the deliberate application of mindful movement choreographed to the rhythm of breath, these sequences are layered with mantra, mudra, and sensory inhibition (pratyahara). Like a labyrinth, they lead the practitioner inward to experience a state of deep inner stillness, where all that remains is the silence between the breaths… between the thoughts…. (12 one-hour practices).

Following up on our deep exploration of yamās and niyamas in the spring, our fall Zoom Club will be a journey back to the basics of practice: body, breath, mind. October will provide an opportunity for us to explore asana through the lens of Patanjali’s teaching. We’ll take four weeks to study how our posture and movement patterns reflectduality: instability and poise; ease and rigidity; presence and distraction. In November, we’ll study the breath and the inner practices of pranayama and pratyhara, drawing from the Vedic texts for inspiration. In December as winter escorts us inward, we will submerge in meditative processes that cultivate dharana and dhyana, attuning mind and intention towards stillness.
