Have faith that your hard work is going to work for you. Lydia leads a vigorous, fluid class focused on finding space in the hips and moving with self-compassion. We warm the body in Side Plank variations and standing flows with arm balance options in preparation for our peak pose, Eka Pada Rajkapotasana (One-Legged King Pigeon). Then we move into a back strengthening and bending sequence, preparing the core to support our work lifting into Wheel. We cool down in soft twists and forward bends before a brief viloma pranayama practice. You will feel relaxed, whole, and supported.
I agree with Christel. This was an invigorating class!
Been playing around with this mantra: "enjoy what you can't do, but be present with what you love." Obviously, I love yoga and all of this healthy insight.
I resonated with "these are just suggestions" and again with "this is your body and this is your practice". Yet, your comment about wholeness was a mind-opener.
David Goldstein So wonderful to hear how the language I have learned from my studies in trauma informed practice have landed for you David. Thank you for taking the time to comment. Warmth always, Lydia
