Most of us identify with our past, specifically our past scars -- the experiences where we feel someone else has hurt us. This identification with past injuries limits our perception of ourselves. The goal of yoga is to clear out all the gunk, all the baggage, all the dirt, so that we can live harmoniously, in tune with others and with nature.

Everything is empty of meaning from its own side, and is perceived according to the nature of the mind that is doing the perceiving. The more we are able to expand our perception, the more we are able to let go of the clinging to identity.
The class is a very hamstring focused physical sequence.

The five koshas or bodies are the layers or sheaths of embodied experience. The goal of all yoga practices is to purify these sheaths to uncover the Atman or the Divine Self, or "unconditioned consciousness."

Inversions are about going upside down, changing our perspective, expanding our sense of self, and shifting the cultural paradigm. Saleiu Suso plays kora throughout the class. The physical practice includes a few tripod headstands, which you may skip or modify if its appropriate for your practice.

Love is messy. Spiritual practice is sometimes rife with doubt and questions. Embrace both darkness and light as part of the path. Use every experience to lead you closer to the light of Self-realization, enlightenment.
The sequence is a little twisty and turny with lots of right/left switching. Listen carefully and do your best!

Sound is vibration. Thoughts are the subtle vibration of electricity through cells and synapses. Our thoughts affect our minds and bodies, our words, our actions, our habits. Every suggestion the mind makes, sends a direct message to the body. Change the thoughts, change the habit!

We all have a limited time in this life, and none of us knows how much time we have. Awareness of the imminence of death can powerfully change how we use our time day to day. Death awareness can be a powerful way to ensure that we live as happily and compassionately as possible in our lives and without regret.
The physical sequence in this class focuses on hips and shoulders, and leads up to standing marichasana. You can always skip this peak pose and just stay in your yoga squat (malasana)
