In celebration of today’s new moon, we move through a vigorous warrior and goddess vinyasa flow with plenty of side bends, arm poses, and core work. My hope is that your entire body will feel stretched and strengthened and ready to find JOY in your day!
Today’s class starts with a kundalini-inspired warm-up and moves into an active Sun Sal A & B flow — the perfect preparation to quiet the mind in meditation. Plenty of variations are given making this practice accessible to just about everyone.
Today we start a new theme considering renewal and what that means as the seasons start to change from winter to spring and we go through our own seasons in our bodies. This month we are going to integrate a Sun Sal A&B flow into each practice as a way to build muscle memory allowing our bodies to reach a flow state giving our minds space to open.
For a gentle rainy morning we start with a seated grounding sequence and move into a warrior flow — connecting with the earth and then exploring the space around us as we take flight in warrior 3.
We tend to hold a lifetime in our hips. Today we use the breath and longer holds to release the tension that may have been building for years. We try to soften, release, and let go — both in the hips and in our minds. We consider what it means to love it all and how we can create space for an intentional life.
Building on the deep stretching that we did on Tuesday, we start with some of the same yin poses and then move into a taking and sending meditation, and close the practice with an active warrior flow. All the things to start your day!
Today we let time do the work by easing slowly and gently into poses to release the fascia in our legs, hips, and torsos. We then move into a more active standing warrior flow to get energized for the day.
ONE DROP Today’s class focuses on side bends — slowly moving through the frontal plane to prepare for our standing flow that builds into triangle and half moon. We end our month considering what it means when one drop of action makes a ripple that expands out from the mat and into the world.
“You are everywhere, forever free…the single witness of all things.” Today’s class is psoas focused — a long floor sequence to lengthen and strengthen core muscles. We end with a warrior 3 flow and a meditation on witnessing through listening.
Today I share a quote from Sovereign Self by Acharya Shunya “I urge you to explore new pathways where none existed yesterday.” Plus, we do some yoga — testing our balance through tree pose and a warrior flow.
