Full Moon in Sagittarius

Thursday 23rd May 2024

The Full Moon in Sagittarius ignites a passion for adventure and truth-seeking. Emotions run high with a desire for freedom and exploration. Advice: Reflect on your beliefs and aspirations, letting go of what no longer serves you. Activities: Plan a trip, engage in philosophical discussions, or start a new course of study. This fiery Full Moon encourages you to broaden your horizons, embrace new experiences, and seek deeper understanding in all aspects of life.

Yoga: The Extended Side Angle Pose (Utthita Parsvakonasana) harnesses the adventurous and expansive energy of the Full Moon in Sagittarius. Stand with your feet wide apart, turn your right foot out, and bend your right knee. Extend your right hand down to the floor or a block, and stretch your left arm overhead. Feel the stretch along your side body, opening up to new perspectives and possibilities. This pose embodies Sagittarius's quest for truth and exploration.

"켄 요가 시퀀스"

내가 처음 요가를 시작한 해는 아마도 1999년 아니면 2000년도였던 거 같다. 반년 정도 학원을 다니며 배운 뒤 책을 참조해 최소 주 1회 이상 요가를 꾸준히 했다.

오랫동안 하타 요가 동작 위주로 스트레칭 삼아 했었고 운동을 늦게 시작했기 때문에 이미 몸이 많이 굳은 상태였지만 큰 욕심 내지 않고 꾸준히 한 결과 나름 '인간 승리'라 자평해도 되지 않을까 싶을 만큼 요가 덕을 크게 봤다. 또 국내에 아쉬탕가 및 빈야사 요가가 소개됐을 때 이로부터 영향을 많이 받았다.

40대까진 무술 수련에 도움이 되기 때문에 했다면, 쉰 살을 넘기면서는 '요가 = 생명줄'이란 걸로 인식 변화가 생기더만. 즉 지금은 "살기 위해" 요가를 한다. 예전엔 주 1회만 해도 그럭저럭 본전치기는 했고 많이 할수록 몸이 좋아졌다면, 이젠 2회 이상 꼭 해줘야 관절이 굳지 않는 걸 실감하고 있다.

이 대목에서 쫌 재밌는 현상은, 평소 스트레칭을 안 해 몸이 굳어 있을수록 찌뿌둥 불쾌한 기분을 자각 못하는 거 같다. 나 역시 원래는 안 됐다가 꾸준한 노력 끝에 성공해 느낌을 체험하고 나서야 비로소 공감하는 경우가 있었으니까. 역으로 잘 되던 게 나이 먹고 안 될 거 같은 조짐이 보이면 답답하다.

내가 하고 있는 요가 순서를 70세까지 (살아있다면) 무리 없이 하는 걸 목표로 정했다. 시간이 흐르다 보면 순서를 까먹거나 수정하는 일이 종종 일어나기 때문에 훗날 점검용으로 이 시점에 한 번 정리해 놓은 것.

▪ 영웅자세 A(Virabhadrasana A) & ▪ 영웅자세 B(Virabhadrasana B) & ▪ 확장된 옆 기울기(Utthita Parsvakonasana) ▪ 다리를 앞뒤로 벌리고 상체 숙이기 : 무술 도장해서 했던 것
