Yoga Basics, Wednesday @ 5:15pm

10 Peeps

I am still in the process of trying to convey how to tap into and feel and source the subtle energies. So far I have been focusing on directing the breath and using it to access the currents. Since Sunday's workshop, I am feeling into introducing the bandhas even into the basics classes. Slowly navigating these waters.
