The Ins and Outs

Welcome to another class of twists: spine mobility and back health!

In twists we work with the spine and the action of ‘lengthening’ is to create space between the vertebrae. When there’s a lack of space our spine tends to slump or get stuck and our energy levels drop. Through twisting SAFELY we lengthen the spine and get space between the bones. Then our energy can flow better.

Have at least one block ready. Breathe in hope, breathe out negativity…

Space Element – The Art of Expanding

In this class, we have come to our final element of the five: Ether (Space) Element

Space element is the place where everything happens and it connects all the other elements. In its most subtle form, it is the place before everything happens. The qualities of Space reflect that. It is still because it lacks the movement of Wind. It is cold because it lacks the heat of Fire. It is dry because it lacks the moistness of Water, and it is light because it lacks the weight of Earth. It is the place that is nowhere and so it is expansive, pervasive, and has no center.

The affirmations I deeply feel connected to Space element are:

I play in my imagination.
I create my reality.
I know and speak my truth.

What is Yoga?

What is Yoga? What does the word “yoga” actually mean? Is yoga something we “do” or something we just “be”?

Starting Fall (it is almost here), every month I will share with you a word, concept or source to dive deep into Yoga Philosophy. I’m really excited to educate you and also keep learning with you as the philosophical aspect of the practice is very valuable for me. Namaste.
