Authentic
Join Hala Khouri for a spirited yoga practice from the Hanuman Festival and explore the relationship between embodiment and love (for self, others and our planet).
Our bodies carry a lot of wisdom. When we learn to be in relationship with our bodily sensation, we develop embodied intuition, which can guide us through life’s challenges and opportunities. Yoga can help us distinguish when we are being reactive and fear-based, or when we are being pro-active and clear. Being grounded is the key; from there we can truly open our hearts without getting stepped on or enmeshed.
Courageous
There are 3 rhythms in the body, that of the heart, the breath and the brainwaves. This short but sweet namaskar with Clara Roberts-Oss connects you to these inner rhythms. As you move through this sequence, you will be reminded to listen to how these rhythms change and how they affect one another. In A Heartbeat is a well rounded and concise class. Close your eyes and listen.
