Soft Vinyasa, Saturday at 9am

21 Peeps

The group was so chatty this morning. Usually when I sit down and appear focused everyone goes quiet. But not today. Lots of catching up to do I suppose. But when the clock reached 8 minutes after 9, I chose to "ring the bell". The universal symbol for pay attention.

We moved towards Standing Extended Big Toe Pose Again. As we moved there I wondered if we might play with the twisting version or if we might translate it back to Side Plank with Toe Hold, but the mood seemed more mellow at that point. Talking points around making room for the tight spots, generosity of the heart and aligning within.
