Description

When our eyes can soften away from task and focus we can receive more of what is here. In Day 5, we move with and through the sense of sight. We begin supine with eyes covered and resting, allowing our other senses to become more curious. We find a seat and experiment with focusing and then widening our gaze, letting less or more content into our view, and noticing how what we see can come to and touch us. We transfer this discovery into our movement practice through fluid dynamic sequences and strengthening held postures. After this class, you might like to sit with another person and see them, and invite them to see you.

This episode dove deep into the idea of sight and offered some inventive ways to explore one’s relation to seeing and how it moves the body. Very cool! But what I really loved was the way you pulled the other four senses along for the ride, making this a complete and satisfying final episode of this series. Thank you, Suniti - this has been divine 🙏🏻❤️🦋

Jane T, Thank you for your share! It’s an honor to be here on yoga anytime and it’s sweet that we connected here! Michael Stone was a dear friend and his online library is such a gift. I’m glad you are enjoying it. I love that you moved through both of the series and felt nourished. 
Sending love!

I love and relate to all the other beautiful comments. Every session has been so powerful and this one with sight especially so as I usually practice with my eyes closed.  
Dissolving the resistance to open my eyes, I found them come alive and truly lead my body into some amazing spaces. Thank you as ever Suniti for your thoughtful, sensitive and delightful teaching.

I did both your somatic series and loved every minute of it. Instead of getting somewhere to stay with the sense impressions is yummy. Your sensitivity and readiness to feel is liberating. Thank you for your refreshing classes.
