Sweet Vinyasa Monday, 8:30am

11 Peeps
All Regulars

Question of why we do the Bandhas came up. I answered through the whole class but in essence the answer that came out was we "do" them for the same reason we "do" yoga. We do yoga to increase the possibility of experiencing Yoga. We do the Bandhas to help them spontaneously happen. Spoke about the word "lock" as in farming, to direct the water differently. Shared the translation of "interlock" that I found on Rainbowbody.org. I am trying to understand these questions myself so I was excited for the opportunity to start to try to answer it.
