Sweet Vinyasa Yoga, Wednesday @ 8:30am

Title: Watering the Downward Facing Tree
Teaser: We play with the earth and water elements to get grounded in handstands.

Sequence Summary: We open the leg and side body channels seated.  Using Tadasana, we connect with earth and water elements, playing with the chakra bijas through a lunge sequence and moving towards Adho Mukha Svanasana.

Opened with a talk about injuries.  Shared about my shoulder.  This lead into a dharma talk about this practice being one of learning how to touch ourselves, become intimate and see it all.
