This is a dynamic balancing and forward bending class, heron is the peak posture. We explore the teachings of the Dalai Lama's morning prayer:
“Today I am fortunate to have woken up, I am alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others, to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings, I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get angry or think badly about others, I am going to benefit others as much as I can.”
This strong and well rounded Jivamukti Yoga practice gives some extra attention to opening the hips, an area relating to karmic ties with past lovers, business/creative partners, those we were very close to. We explore the ideas of softening to the challenges of life, rather than turning the other way.
