#0927 Hands and Heart, Yoga and Meditation, 61 minutes
Get in touch with your Hands and Heart! Great poses like Crow, Side Scissors, and Titivasana. Do your hands sometimes hurt? Are you feeling clumsy or unconscious in your hand movements and in your hands in general? With postures that encourage your heart to expand and accept more space and breath, this class will encourage you to open and listen to your heart while at the same time stretching and flowing your hands and arms freely and softly. We start class firmly entrenching in ourselves with extensive Breathwork (pranayama) and Abdominal exercises. We will then proceed into a fusion of grounded standing postures and watery flowing arms and hand movements that will begin to reconnect your hands and your daily actions to your heart and your true desires. You may notice that you are going through the motions in some areas of your life: it's better to see it. Yoga will help you feel your experience of your life almost as clearly as a blueprint in your body's movements while you are on your mat. Your arms and hands will be encouraged to flow like water while the grounding postures you are guided in will keep you firmly connected to your feet and your intention. You will begin to reconnect your spirit and action in your body and those newly activated neuronal pathways will begin to implement themselves, as a natural extension of what you are learning experientially in yoga, into your daily life and interactions. In this class we will also explore the secrets of some elusive postures including a Standing-Twist Balance sequence, Side-balancing Scissors, and the always amazing One-Legged Balancing Squat into Arm Balance and then softly Jumping back into One-Legged Down Dog. Neck release will ensure you do not get off of your mat without feeling completely relaxed and unwound! Enjoy exploring some of these more advances postures!!
