Student Survey

QUOTES:
    • Amy Matthews, paraphrasing Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen: “Healthy movement is well-distributed: a little bit of movement from a lot of places.” This was further clarified by Leslie: “a little bit of movement, coming from a lot of places, repeated a reasonable number of times.”
    • Conversely, Leslie Kaminoff says “Unhealthy movement is too much movement coming from too few places repeated too many times (repetitive stress).”
    • From Leslie’s work with Amy Matthews, which references her work with Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen: “Alignment is a clear pathway of weight passing through balanced joint spaces.”
    • Leslie Kaminoff: “The simpler the practice, the more sophisticated a relationship you can have with it.”
    • Leslie Kaminoff: “If once you arrive in an asana it needs correcting, reconsider how you got there.”
    • Leslie Kaminoff: “There is no such thing as an asana without the person making the shape. You can’t abstract asana outside of the person doing it.”
    • Leslie Kaminoff regarding the party chair trick: “Organized breathing organizes structure.”
