In the morning yoga class, the teacher (Lara) told us about the 3 "A"s of Yoga - Attitude , Alignment , Action. (Attitude being the power of the heart and willingness; Alignment being the mindful awareness of how various parts of ourselves are integrated and interconnected; Action being the natural flow of energy in the body, which provides both stability and joyful freedom). This 3 "A" does not only apply to people who practise yoga. It applies to all of us, all walks of life. During a discussion with Stella, we've came up with the consensus that the dance students in Macau are in general lacking an intense initiative of learning or practicing. Students depend so much on the teacher to demonstrate the movement or sequence for them over and over, over and over, over and over again until they get into the movments. Morever, after teaching the right side of the movments, they think that it is the responsibility of the teacher to demonstrate and teach the left side. Here in summer intensive, the teacher will teach and demonstrate once, twice and maxium three times, then students should be able to do it , and for the left side, of course, students should be able to figure out by themselves. So this is the differences in the way we are trained.
Definitely, we have to contemplate on the 3 "A"s of yoga.
