Filmed live at the Hunuman Festival, this class with Sara Ivanhoe leads you through a Vinyasa Flow. So much of our yoga practice addresses our bodies through physical asana and our minds through intellectual knowledge of anatomy, but the soul is often forgotten or it remains mysterious as to how to access it. The gazing point of the eyes is called “dristi” and it is directly responsible for the flow of our energy. Where the eyes go- the energy flows. In this workshop we will address how to utilize the dristi to help bring us into balance and how the direction of the eyes either consciously or unconsciously is always informing our yoga practice and our lives. Through the structure of a STRONG VINYASA FLOW sequence, we will learn how to access the third eye, the eye of intuitive wisdom and how to direct our gaze and our attention inward, known as “Atma Dristi.” Beats by Damon the Zen Drummer and Ryan Narayan with special music performer David Newman aka Durga Das and co-teacher Amy Ippoliti. “The eyes are the windows to the soul…” William Shakespeare.

Some teachers choose to verbalize more than others as part of their practice, as some choose to show more of their personality than those that prefer to remain more formal and distant. None of these 'styles' are bad, just different approaches to teaching. That's good, because with the myriad of presentational modes/styles that are out there, this enables us to choose those teachers that align with our preferences.

This was my favorite MYO video yet once I got past all the chatter. The music took me where I needed to go and I felt like I wanted to do the whole 2 hours again after I was done. Highly recommended.

Excessive talking and instructor laughing was extremely annoying. I have never left a yoga class but I couldn't wait to leave this one.

Thanks for giving us a taste of the festival! It was REAL - raw video, not studio-recorded & edited perfection. Yes the music overwhelmed the teacher but I'm sure all that will be tweeked next year. This was the next best thing to being there - and it was a GOOD practice. I'm happy I made it through!

Annoying. At one point the teacher does her own practice and makes loud hissing sound. The music is jarring and interfering with the teacher's voice. It's good if you want a concert or an entertainment but I would not call it a yoga practice.
