express my name is bond suresh i'm your host for this program in episode number seven hundred we have a special treat for you a special teacher that i've been stalking and i say with in courts talking for the last three or four years and i'm going to save matt dreyfus i'm going to save his introduction to last before i move on i'd like to remember my maddest remember thank my crew brian still again a on camera so thank you so much for staying with us and for putting up with me saving the best for the last matt dreyfus recently came back after a month in india now before i ask you a little bit about yourself i want your well i don't know if i could say you have these different but also some things are distinguishing right as if you really penetrated into the depths of the os and as in a way which i think is unique and he understood them in such a deep way and he was able to express them and share them with people in a way that anybody could experience the essence of a posture right so one of the things he did was develop is a props and so for example if you could do a challenging posture that most people cannot execute but he felt the benefits right that a process of integration and that integration and connection and clarity was something he really taught in an extremely beautiful way right and just since i'm speaking of the  know your body is your st crop and the most important thing you knowing where you're going to is really learning how to use your body how to use your intelligence your mind and your rest together and right and then within that understanding of how you using your body then you can also start to use some of the support s perfect actually that's a very good transition into our theme for the day i know max for a fact that you don't like us using props because you feel we won't make the most of our own bodies but at the same time you are so good at teaching us how to use that this is a great moment for our viewers because they can learn that even if they're not quite there yet we all have hope so we all know we're all trying to get where you and other students are today we all want  want to get the main stream into the yoga stream but before i move on you also cycle a lot and i'm curious because you did mention that you came all the way to the studios on your bicycle how far did you have to travel well today i travel around the city and your sort of antigravity i don't like to do well that's ok if it's just because you don't like it then you should do it but if you have a reason not to do it like very few if you have an aversion to something i don't like to jump i don't like to go this front right and that's connected to my chest turning down to it or slightly which is not where i want it i want my chest facing forward right so i said before the body is the st proper right so watch we're going to take the hand down here and then we're going to use this arm here to help turn our chest a face forward like this while you see how they go together i can actually levy really starts to open up and then once that opening has come then i'm comes up in the arm feels like a helper in the pose right raz if it's not in a good spot shin and see do you have the same opening or did you lose a little bit so you're pretty good and you've got the same opening coming again but you can improve even a little more so take your right hand on your waist now press your feet into the floor and women  pull your chest away from your head and as you x however evolve your right shoulder further back turn your chest more and more toward the ceiling so you start to open and out keep your shoulders back in your chest open to your and i stress both arms away from each other the left hand into the leg on your ship and then take your left and down and as you press your feet down pull your chest away from your head and as you exhale revolve your left shoulder back more and more to help you turn your chest take the right side ribs the one to the bottom and put them up on the front of your mouth like that i watch here so the reason for this posture extending the francesa making more space in the front body is so that when we bend the body down over the leg there's a good space inside for the forward bending so from here and then my arms and i go down with your next acceleration bend your arms and let your trunk down your liking and then you feel of the boxers sort of in the way you can make them lower poster like that and let my head touch the floor and you see my shoulders are off the floor yes i'm going to curl my chest around the bolster until they rest on the floor so i lift my chest and curl my shoulders down now when i say my shoulders what i mean is this upper arm bone here is down the floor  upper arms are down so much escalation open and then i rest my arms like this palms facing up to the sides and from here we can keep the legs bent or you can stretch the legs out and this is a wonderful pose for breathing because of the way it opens the whole area of  as quieting for the mind because the back of the neck is long in the face is turned inward toward the heart when you come out of this push you just lift your hips up and slide the bolster away ok let's try to have a seat think that's an important thing you know when you're doing resting postures in yoga you should take your glasses off because then you'll be able to relax your facial muscles which is important for your legs to now you will stay here for just a minute or two but for now keep your shoulder to lean down and you can
