In this 90' yoga class, we will explore the
deeper meanings of the Sun Salutations, its ancient traditions,
origins, intended uses, benefits, and evolution through the years.
But more importantly, we will discover how to use them so to unlock
our divine potential, reclaim lost energy & to take control of
our life.
To better emphasize the transformative
powers of this practice, and to honor its origins as the
fundamental structure of popular vinyasa, we will break it all down
into three main layers.
Layer #1: The
Body.
We'll begin by warming up the muscles and by
prepping the joints, to then proceed by breaking down various
anatomical engagements, for safety and injury prevention. We will
occasionally use props and straps for added support & better
muscle-skeletal alignment, so if you have your tools, make sure to
bring them).
Layer #2: The
Mind.
The second layer introduces the appropriate
breathing techniques and how they support us on and off our mat. As
the parallels between modern-day neuroscience and Vedic wisdom
begin to surface, the bridging between the conscious and the
subconscious mind occurs, thus empowering us to become more present
and mindful throughout the day.
Layer #3: The
Spirit.
The third layer adds an active meditative approach
to the practice. As we journey through the postures and breathe in
and out of them, we'll call to mind specific universal principles,
virtues, and bodily functions. We are thus establishing a more
profound sense of self-awareness.
All levels.
