the field of now: 75 min Jivamukti Open

for this 75 min Jivamukti Open level class, the asana is oriented around inverting and backbending and then we put it all together with scorpion (Vrschikasana). You will need some wall space for the second half of class and a sense of adventure.

the dharma of this class is inspired by Simon Haas’ imagery around being in the here and now, and we chant a traditional mantra to the guru:

 om ajnana-timirandhasya / jnananjana-salakaya / cakshur unmilitam yena / tasmai sri-gurave namah
I offer my respectful obeisances unto my spiritual master, who has opened my eyes, which were blinded by the darkness of ignorance, with the torchlight of knowledge.

to protect our world, it's important to make the "field of now" a sacred space, free from negativity.
if someone carefully protects this space
- the field of now -
she protects the full extent of her perceptual universe. this is because all of life unfolds in one place only; the here and now.
this is the arena of life.

This class was recorded from my home as a Zoom call on July 31st 2020, from CA and around the globe. I call out the whole class and partially demonstrated (it was a video call). During a time while we are mainly staying at home, let us stay connected through practice and reverence. Join along and breathe with us.
