Pose of the month
Ustrasana (Camel Pose)
by Linda Wilton
Ustrasana (Camel Pose) is considered a backbending pose. It stretches the entire front side of the body while strengthening the back. It is the reverse position of sitting and it is a terrific pose to undo imbalances leading up to poor posture. When we spend a lot of time sitting the front side of the torso and hips tighten, and over time the chest collapses forward, causing the shoulders to tighten as well.
If you ski, bike, or spend a lot of time recreating in a sport that is primarily forward moving, camel pose would also be a great pose for you to bring into your practice. It is a great hip opener, releasing the hip flexors, psoas, as well as the abdominal wall, chest, pectoral muscles, and front of shoulders.
In your emotional body, practice camel as a way to open your heart to love and compassion. For the month of February try practicing camel with the intention of stimulating your sacral and heart chakras (Svadishthana and Anahata). As you open your sacral and heart centers in camel, encourage vitality to flow into your body making you feel more positive and connected in your relationships.
Building blocks. Warm up by doing a few sun salutations and incorporating backbends such as cobra, upward bow, or bridge.
Step by Step
From downward dog, come onto your knees with your shins pressing into the floor. Separate your knees and feet hip-width apart. Bring your hands to your lower back with your fingers pointing up and thumbs into your sacrum. Engage your lower body, draw in your lower ribs and scoop your tailbone down and under. Scooping your tailbone is very important to protect your lower back!
Exhale and place your right hand onto your right heel and your left hand onto your left heel, if it is too much to have your feet flat on the floor, come onto your toes or keep your hands on your hips. Inhale and breath into your heart and chest, feeling a lift as you root down into your shins. Continue to lift through your heart and press your hips forward. Release your head back if it feels good, or extend through the crown of your head.

Event Details
My Barking Dog is a nightmare comedy that tells the story of Toby and Melinda, two lonely people whose lives are forever changed the night they encounter a starving coyote at their apartment building. Over time they grow to expect him, leaving ritual offerings to entice the coyote every night. Toby and Melinda forge a connection over this visitor and share curiosity and concern about his presence in the city. The coyote expands their world–until, one night, their world is shattered. Their lives are pushed suddenly into uncharted territory, sending them on a surreal odyssey that changes their city–and the world–forever.
Directed by LX Miller. Starring Max Schneider and Denise Hergett
