Sweet Vinyasa Yoga, Monday @ 8:30am

22 Peeps
4 Drop Ins

First Class back.  Got in around 7pm last night from Kirpalu.  Super excited to wake up in So Cal.  Talk was about some of my learning this weekend.  The question of, "What do you teach," the inquiry of "Who am I" and the "nama, rupa, asti, bhati, priya".  Emphasis on GROUNDING, play with the chakra elements and we moved towards Partner wheel drop backs.
