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.

There are many intermediary steps along the way in this dynamic flowing practice. Make sure you have some wall space available.
