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.

Katrina had been quietly observing the students working and she had to admit she was thoroughly impressed with the connections that the Hufflepuff Prefect was forming. But as he was one of the older ones, she wasn't the least bit surprised.

"Posture, yes. The Stadha part of the word literally refers to control of the body through posture. Very good," She noted.

She raised her hand after she came up with a conclusion. ”Isn’t one self control or wait no… isn’t it something like control of emotion?” Well she kind didn’t have the answer together. But she got it out and to the point.

Ah yes, she'd suspected Juniper to have a decent understanding, given her past successes that she'd reviewed. "Precisely right, Captain Primeaux, control of emotion is most definitely one of the goals of stadhagaldr"

Nope.

No thank you.

He raised an arm in the air and looked at both Professors with a panicked expression. "Do we have to demonstrate them.......?"

Had she not hinted already to the young fourth year Katharos about the demonstration, well, surely the Slytherin Prefect shouldn't have been that surprised. From what she recalled of his parents, they weren't the least bit shy when it came to demonstrations. Apparently, their offspring was though and the last thing Katrina wanted was to make students uncomfortable.

"Professor Davis and I would be happy to complete the demonstration with you. Or you may choose a friend of your own." Whichever made him more comfortable, but part of the activity, should they wish to complete it was, was demonstrating of their chosen runic routines. They didn't even have to explain why they chose those particular runes.

"I am sorry Professor" Arthuria said quietly not to disturb the others concentration.

Speaking of uncomfortable... Katrina hadn't expected a young first year's cheeks to grow red of embarrassment. "It's okay, let me know if you need assistance." She was awfully young for both lessons, which wasn't an issue as there were no age restrictions for subjects, but sometimes Katrina did forget how overwhelming it could be.

Catching Foster's signal about wrapping up, she went back to the front of the room. "So as I alluded moments ago, there are six main aims of runic yoga. Prefect Ashburry-Hawthorne and Captain Primeaux supplied two of them for us. The others, however, are Control of thought through song, control of breath, becoming aware of the rune realms of the self and world, and control and direction of the will." She flicked her wand as they appeared on the board behind her.

Quote:

Overall aims of the stádhagaldr are:

1. control of the body through posture (stadha)
2. Control of thought through song (galdr)
3. Control of breath
4. Control of emotion
5. Becoming aware of the rune realms of the self and the world(s)
6. Control and direction of the will.

"Unfortunately, we have run out of time, but please don't forget to turn in your parchments and change back into your uniforms before leaving." See, no Headmaster interruptions this time.

ooc: thanks for coming all! If you wish to play your characters leaving / finishing up their parchments / completing demonstrations, you'll have 24 hours to do so <3
