I decided that I was having perfectionistic procrastination on some of the homework so I decided to try recording myself today as I did my personal pranayama practice. These things I’ve already noticed:
- camera needs to be further back so I don’t show myself grabbing my crotch to demo proper seat. Likewise the remote microphone seems like an essential as the recording was pretty quiet even that close up (turn up volume)
- A less loose top will help me demonstrate bastrika and kalibathi better. A bra might be a good idea too
- I totally forgot the word kalibathi
- I need a better timer solution – looking for sand timers now
- It takes a LOT of concentration to demo and teach at the same time!
- I CANNOT manage to count on the inhale during nadhi sodhana very well, and I sure can’t do OMs and keep track of 8, plus I got mixed up on the sides once or twice. I just kept going
- Since I was doing the mala meditation anyway, I threw it in there. I think I did 109 OMs but oh well…
- Having the cat give me and herself a bath during the meditation was interesting. She LOVES being in videos for some reason.
