NOTICE: Change to the Schedule
The book says that the Week Eight sequence occurs just once, and then it changes again for Weeks Nine and Ten. However, we will practice Week Eight on July 6 AND July 13. Then, we will practice Weeks Nine (July 20) and Ten (July 27) as instructed, Weeks Eleven (Aug 3) and Twelve (Aug 10) as instructed, and then we will move immediately into Week Fourteen (Aug 17) without the pause as is suggested at Week Thirteen.
Scheduled to take place on Sundays, July 6 AND 13

Take a look at each of these poses before practice. Make note of their Sanskrit and English names, their rating (printed just next to the name), the instructions (including how long he recommends holding each one), and their effects. What stands out? What is interesting? or unclear? or surprising? Come to class with questions and comments.
REMEMBER even though the original schedule instructs us to change the sequence for Week Nine, we will be repeating Week Eight once more on July 13.
