Today we wrap up our monthly theme of liberation and move through a warrior-based vinyasa flow with plenty of planks and core strengthening poses.
Today’s class builds a strong core for both physical and mental support. We use breath work and longer holds to remind us how we use our abs in pretty much every part of our daily life. A strong core will help us have better posture allowing us to breathe more deeply giving our brains more oxygen and space to clear out the ‘ick’ and let in the goodness.
Hips, hips, hips! Today’s class is a lovely balm for sore, tight, and tired hips. Often, we hold our lives in our hips so the more stressed we are the tighter our hips can be. We start out slow with a hip releasing floor sequence and then move into an active standing flow. We end with a guided meditation all about reminding ourselves to simply let go.
Inspired by a talk by Ram Dass about karma yoga (yoga of action) we will try to move through a familiar practice of sun salutations with a deeper sense of presence and fresh eyes. In meditation, we’ll remind ourselves that we need not compartmentalize our practice from our everyday life. Every action and interaction is an opportunity to tune in deeply to our lived experience. With each task, may we do so with great intention and compassion.
