Description
This course is designed to help you regain control over the direction of your life, to make the shift from busy and stressed to joyous and peaceful. The course is comprised of four 45 minute lessons following the topics: Acceptance, Surrender, Emergence, and Gratitude. Each class begins with a breathing exercise (pranayama) and then moves through sequences of postures, ending with a supine meditation in Savasana.
Please note: If you are not able to do all the postures offered, just modify where necessary without any self-judgement. Listen to your body and observe how you react when challenged. The purpose of yoga is not to become better at yoga, but to become better at life. Yoga simply helps increase our awareness of the present moment so we become grounded and less reactive. And in time, our bodies do become more supple and flexible. Do what you can and leave the rest alone.
Bonus Meditation. This is a 5 minute guided meditation to give you inner strength. Use it as a stand-alone meditation or at the end of your yoga practice.
Bonus Yoga Nidra. This is a 5 minute body scan mediation, generally practiced lying down. Use it as a stand-alone meditation or at the end of your yoga practice.
