LOVE THIS LIFE - Be Here Now in Gratitude. Yoga and Meditation for the Heart
Have you ever wondered why you feel so good after doing yoga, particularly backbends? Discover a transformative way of practicing that brings out your individual shining and makes you stronger! We will approach Backbends from the energetic foundation of Para Yoga utilizing the bio-mechanical principles of Anusara yoga. These two pre-eminent fields of yoga share the same philosophy of Tantra that reminds us that all of life is beautiful and to remember ourselves as Divine Joy! This is a full spectrum class which includes vinyasa krama(skillful sequencing of posture), pranayama(breath), bandha(energy cultivation), mantra(sacred sound), and culminates in a meditation that reveals the magic and light housed within your own heart. All levels are welcome.
