Saying Yes to Life: 90 min Jivamukti Open

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.

“Most of us do not take these situations as teachings. We automatically hate them. We run like crazy. We use all kinds of ways to escape -- all addictions stem from this moment when we meet our edge and we just can't stand it. We feel we have to soften it, pad it with something, and we become addicted to whatever it is that seems to ease the pain.”
-Pema Chodron

At the beginning of the practice we chant:

yaṁ hi na vyathayanty ete
puruṣaṁ puruṣarṣabha
sama-duḥkha-sukhaṁ dhīraṁ
so ’mṛtatvāya kalpate

Anyone who is steady in their determination for the advanced stage of spiritual realization (yoga) and can equally tolerate the onslaughts of distress and happiness is certainly a person eligible for liberation.

This class was recorded as Zoom a call. I call out the whole class also partially demonstrated.
During a time while we are mainly staying at home, let us stay connected through practice and reverence.
Join along and breathe with us.
