three samsara rotation B's and if anyone just saw that on paper or just randomly watched you do it, they couldn't understand how this could be tough but obviously for you obviously it's tough but that's because we're going for quality over quantity. We don't do 10 push-ups, we do one low push-up per vinyasa so we did two plus we did eight push-ups but it was enough for your arms to shake and that doesn't mean that you're weak.
Well it does mean that you're weak because if you can't do eight really good push-ups you can't call yourself strong in your own mind right but it's because you're used to doing things sloppy. So we do things identical from the right to left side and we try to do 100% quality and slow things down so that all the weak spots bubble up to the surface so we can work with them. So the faster you go the more you can cheat and the faster you will run into your plateau. Okay see you tomorrow for next class, no don't see you tomorrow for next class, repeat two of these classes, repeat the same class twice or choose two classes that you do over again and then see you in three days for class number six.
