Eye of the Tiger-ish

Yesterday was day 5 of our 21 day "Summer Mornings" Intensive. We are doing some variation or other of the "Eye of the Tiger" practice every Friday morning. This is a practice initiated by John Friend several years ago. The sequence I'm including here is NOT one of the classic Eye of the Tiger sequences ( I'll send those out another time). In my opinion there is nothing all that magical about the classic practices. They are - like this one - practices that include every class of pose, require you to really keep moving on through the asanas and take over 3 hours to complete. I have taught and practiced lots of Eye of the Tigers over time, and to be honest, I was not very excited about doing it this time. But people have been asking and I said "yes." I was surprised to find - to remember - that it is really a lot of fun. I practice along with the class rather than teach because if I teach it I keep wanting to, well, TEACH. I'll teach fine tuning and alignment which is great but we would not have moved through the 60+ poses in the sequence below.
So, we practiced the sequence below together. I definitely felt brighter and stronger after the practice. The room was warm - over 80 - and I was concerned that some of my students who don't do so well with heat would wilt in a hurry. But to tell you the truth, everybody did really well. About half of the people had to leave at 8:30 so I sequenced the practice to be a two part experience. Here you go!
