Sweet Vinyasa Yoga, Monday 8:30

Title: Earth in the Hands, Water in the Neck

Teaser: We connect to the Earth in the Legs and Water in the Sacrum with Standing Postures.  Then we turn it upside down for Adho Mukha Vrksasana, or Downward Facing Tree Pose.

Sequence Short: We tune the chakras and their elements with a lunge sequence in preparation for handstand play.

A new day for me.  I am on a mini sabbatical from my regular life.  I am house sitting for a friend and caring for his pets as an opportunity to be away from the computer for the evening and morning hours.  This is providing a new solitude and this morning I woke up experiencing a new deep sadness which is not as accessible when there is so much to do.  This made the class quiet.  Especially since I had been sitting in the studio for almost an hour before anyone arrived.
