This saturday's class was really nice. We started in yin butterfly after a brief settling meditation. followed by yin pidgeon, and a dog, up dog, cat transition to the other side, transition again starting a standing lunge series, warrior 2, peaceful warrior, twisting lunge, warrior 1 with and without cactus arms. Then we ventured into the Warrior Advance and Retreat series! This was really fun, it got everybody moving and flowing, gathering and pressing chi, growing. Advance! Retreat! It's a great one because it's simple and if you do it about 4 times, it's pretty easy to remember. (Come to class sometime and you too can learn warrior series! ;) ) We slowed it down at the end with a little twisted roots, and then a final resting pose.
Teaching makes me incredibly happy. It has been such a good opportunity to be receptive, and so wonderful to meet new people in the Meiner's Oaks community. I am grateful for the space, I've bought some plants to make it more home-y. (Though we almost lost one... but I transplanted it into a terra cotta pot which should be a nice new home.... Next I'll transplant the begonias!) I am making it my mission to go to a class for myself because it's been too long since I've been told what to do. I am so inspired in life, but yoga for me is a part of my healthcare plan. I think yoga is excellent for cessation of MENTAL CHATTER! -Which is my biggest health problem. haha I've talked with pals about the feeling of being centered as sitting easy on a really big soft chair. When you are centered, decisions are made with an undertone of ease and flow. Couldn't we all use a touch more flow? yea! So I encourage you AND myself to get to a class so we can all flow 2gether! xo Megan
