| | Training quietly as a yogini, I am now holding classes! So grab your mat, and a bottle of water, we’ll be starting with simple stretches. It’s important to keep your joints flexible, and balance is good for your core strength and bones. Lay flat on your back and arms and legs out, stretching and reaching, flexing your feet. Tuck your knees to your chest and out! And in, and out. Now, tucking your knees to your chest, gently rock back and forth, stretching out your lower back. Great! Now, on to teach you warrior one!
Slowly closing my eyes, I sit and meditate on life and all it’s chaos. Breathing deeply in and out, I can feel the exhale slowly draining the stress out, and breathing in peace and prayers. Try it with me!
Gazing off to the distance, softening my gaze just a bit, I slowly transition from downward dog to warrior 3. Slowly I put all four paws back to the floor. Yoga always helps me with my balance, inner and outer. A smooth flow helps my practice, changing from one pose to another, remembering to breathe deeply. |
