Derf was going to keep holding the Perthro position for now, it was kinda comfy anyway, though he still wasn't entirely sure what he was supposed to be getting out of it other than...maybe relaxing? Though one needed to clear their mind for that and the Hufflepuff was entirely incapable of doing that these days.

Even more difficult to focus when they were being told to think, sorta, in two different directions. First with the chakras and what they knew and then those thoughts being interrupted with the pending task of making up a yoga routine of sorts. As Professor Davis spoke, Derf was reminded of something else his dad had mentioned once or twice - he really needed to start paying attention to the man....so his hand went back up while he finally broke position to get his Arithmancy textbook. Only he brought it back down almost immediately because...maybe it was best to just stick to these eight and not bring up the mention of some saying there were 12. Maybe it only had to do with Earth magic and that was an entirely different subject.

So...he needed to pick five chakras he wanted to focus on...which he supposed he could sort out easily considering the turmoil he found himself in on almost a daily basis, so he quickly scribbled on to his parchment.

Quote:

CHAKRAS OF FOCUS

Muladhara - tailbone - security and survival
Manipura - solar plexus or navel point - action and balance
Heart Chakra- middle of the chest - love and compassion
Visshuda - Throat Chakra - expression and communication
Aura- located above the body - connection between us and our higher selves

Tickling his nose with his quill, and glancing around to see if anyone shared similiar chakras of focus so maybe they could work together, his attention was drawn back to Professor Sabra who was FINALLY explaining more what these runic positions were. And, er, he was going to need his Ancient Runes textbook open too to cross reference things, clearly. And they were integrated into the daily routines of most magical schools? That was kind of neat...so why weren't they doing this at Hogwarts? Especially with this emphasis on them all having sharp and alert minds - which daily S.O.R.E's were supposed to help with. And, well, they did for him...but he had always run in the morning anyway so now it was just a little bit of upped intensity wise. He reckoned he could get an evening yoga routine in though, maybe before bed.

As to the professor's question....Derf figured it couldn't be all that far off from what yoga itself was meant to do. So....up his hand went while he continued to try and cross reference things - because surely there was a RIGHT way to match a rune with a chakra, you know? Runes had rules and stuff, certain traits and elements they represented, so he couldn't just assign things willy nilly. "Posture...like correct posture and having control over strengthening your bones and muscles."

Okay so...Muladhara...survival and security. Uruz was a rune that meant endurance which meant survival in a way...and it had the energy that transmitted survival...so since this was going to be an active harnessing of runic power that meant using its energy, right? But then there was Othala that GOVERNED security, safety, protection, the walls of Asgard....so maybe that was the more fitting one? Derf opted to just scribble down both options next to his first chakra for the time being.
