Yoga teaches that life is truly a precious gift, not to be forsaken, and we show our gratitude for our life by trying to live fully each day. In this episode, we will practice Vinyasa, moving fluidly with the breath in a series of poses to express this fullness.
Every pose has a center of gravity that you draw into with strength and out of which you extend. The sense of direction refers to the subtle movement of your breath. Together, gravity and direction transform the practice into a moving meditation.
This class begins by awakening the body with a slow and steady flow to prepare for stillness in a guided meditation that will infuse tranquility and peace. A little movement into the body with awareness of the breath, profoundly helps quiet the mind, turn the chatter off, so you can settle into meditation with less resistance and more ease. The class begins gently and gradually builds into variations of sun salutations to get the blood flowing and awaken the energy centers in the body. Once the body lies down after the standing flow, it is like a sponge and soaks in the guided meditation to rest and let go deeply. In stillness, you pause, let go of what's not serving you, to release, relax and fill up on peace. Experience tranquility.
