This class was recorded at Ananda Ashram in Monroe NY. Ananda is the spiritual home of Sharon Gannon and David Life's teacher, Shri Brahmananda Saraswati. The class is part workshop, part open class with a mix of some anatomy, some yoga asana, and some thoughts on freedom. I donated my pay from the retreat to Southern Poverty Law Center, and I encourage all to make a similar donation or donate to aclu.org.

This is the story of an Octopus, read from "The Soul of the Octopus." This story takes place in an aquarium, which ultimately I believe all animals should be free from their cages -- perhaps the more we know about these amazing animals the less we will be inclined to keep them in captivity. In the meantime, what about the eggs in the fridge and the scallop on the plate? What can this octopus story teach us about the other animals in our lives.

Yoga primes us to see the potential for more than just one viewpoint, and opens up the potential for limitless possibility and and expansion of sense of self through compassion for all beings.
