I did not blog out the sequence on Saturday. It is similar to the latest patterns.

I am pretty sure we played with establishing the actions in the shoulders, grounding down through the legs in Tadasana, and allowing the breath to open the shape. Moved towards inversion play at the wall. Finished with hamstring stretching at the wall.

Similar as lately. Play with Shoulders to then allow for enough space of individual exploration towards headstand, forearm balance or handstand. This sequence gives me a lot of space to be available for individuals which i really like. Dharma centered around creating the space and ease with which to slign and allow the slogan of today to become true for you.
