This flow about covers is all! Back bends, twists, balancing, core work, fluid breath to movement practice, followed by long yin holds to drop of our your heads and the chitta (thoughts / mind stuff) and back into your body and presence. I open this video doing something that used to terrify me, singing. I share with you the Adi Mantra, "Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo." There are many ways to translate it, but one is, “I bow to the All That Is. I bow to the Divine Wisdom / Teacher within myself.” Perhaps you give it a try, singing the Adi mantra a few rounds before you practice. The Kundali Yogissay that "if you really listen to your own voice as you chant you are ‘tuning in' to a particular frequency where the understanding of kriya and meditation has been coded so that we might benefit most profoundly from this practice.” Enjoy adding a new element to your practice!
Lots of fun challenges in this practice, including the challenge of tuning out distractions! ;-) When things get more physically challenging, how do you respond? Keep your sense of playfulness and ease here as you face these challenges with a calm, cool, collected mind.
This is a fun and active practice, with lots of open twisting, heart opening balances, and LOTS of hip stuff at the end (lizard AND pigeon? Yes please!). It's fun and light and you should try it!
Lots of energy in this practice! Get a full body stretch and strengthen all your parts with lots of focus on your middle. This express practice will help you get moving and get your blood pumping, even if you're a bit pressed for time.
