1️⃣ external pose most yoga class teachers will teach “pose” or “posture” this is the externals of how you look

just the idea of “doing yoga” can feel healing to people. it’s a very consciously experienced experience

2️⃣ internal pose these teachers who know more about body mechanics and angles turns out bodies are very different they’re thinking in terms of the internal dimensions of the joint angles and rotations than how it looks from the outside

these teachers tell you how it’s supposed to feel internally instead of just copying them externally this is experienced more on the bodily level. not the conscious level

3️⃣ energetic pose they tell you how it should internally, energetically feel from there, you can rederive the poses. the energy lines hold the pose up

this kind of yoga is primarily experienced energetically. and it translates into the bodily and conscious levels too

4️⃣ existential pose what is any of those all for? fuck the thing you’re supposed to do. what is your individual experience in this moment? from that too you can derive the energetic poses. this is the level these teachers teach

to focus on the individual nature of your being. to see how the rest of the stances emerge from it everything becomes ecologically embedded and infused with the weight of the whole thing. ultimate self-trust the thing you can never delegate no matter how hard you try

there is great grief, relief, peace; somberness. levity everything becomes rederived from the sovereignty of your experience. you realise you are only doing things because you choose to what to choose?
