Today( 24/07/09)'s session at The Empire Country Club,we did at the roofed veranda, just outside the room we usually use, ROOM 19 .which is now occupied and used for the Brunei Open -golf tournament.
And the focus for the session was on Twists & Backbend. It was actually a Student's request beforehand;so the menu was tailored.
She asked ' Can we do the wheel today" i answered " of course" ,and added 'it is like having meals at a restaurant , you ask for the menu , or TODAY'S SPECIAL??' ". i told her that you were not the only one; sometimes it's interesting that some students from the studio , especially old student would ask what's the class today or tommorow???" or 'what's the menu today??'
The chef would have to brainstorm for the juicy menu every now and then,and so do i.
Basically , the menu for the session today was ;-
opening for shoulder 1 & 2 with a chair - passive shoulder opener 1 & 2 in prone position ( downward dog stretch in between ) - cat & cat twist with downward dog in between ) - Eka Pada Bhekasan half forg leg ( stretch the thigh & hips flexors) - Sun Salutation - Sun Salutation with High Lunge add-on - open twist - half seated spinal twist - the bridge - The standing backbend heart-opening - The Wheel - Supine Spinal Twist - Shavasana
My favorite stretch - the wall dog , /chair dog to open up from fingers to toes
another favorite - the chair hang to stretch the shoulder and arms
unknown name a passive shoulder opener
unkonwn name a passive shoulder opener
legs , hips , thighs work together , to strengthen for backbending
High Lunge to awaken the power of the legs
Open twist from Aadil's tricks. 
Half seated spinal twist after an open twist to get a deeper twist. hold each side for 2 minutes or so.
With the support , easy for some of them ,still stiff and tight in the shoulder to open and release
