divine appearance: Jivamukti Open 90 min

On the auspicious day of Krishna Janmastami (appearance of Shri Krishna) we flowed through this dynamic Jivamukti Open level class, the asana is oriented around hip opening and balancing, Visvamitrasana (compass) and Eka Pada Koundianasana are the peak postures.

the dharma is oriented around the focus of the month found here ,we explore the role of the teacher, and situations of our life as teachings, through shining light on even the darkest corners of our hearts and minds. “ Numerous are the gurus who rob their students of their wealth. But I consider it rare to find a guru who instead steals away the miseries from the student's heart” -Mahadva in Skanda Purana.

at the beginning of the class we chant:

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.

This class was recorded from my home as a Zoom call on August 11, 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.
