“Clear, direct and vibrant instructions will inject energy into the class, and create a feeling of safety for the students.” ~ Gudjon Bergmann 🙇🏻‍♀️ . . What a beautiful space to teach. 🙌🏻 My new client/student had some knowledge of the asana practice, which made my job as a guide much easier. However, we spoke in depth on pranayama and how helpful it is at the beginning of each practice. 😌 We also went over alignment, flexibility and using props like blocks and straps to improve both. 😊 It was a great class (with a great student), and a BIG thank you to my dear friend Kim for taking the photos. 🙇🏻‍♀️ I am also catching up with Day 4 of the #gunasofayurveda #yogachallenge, increasing Sattva - Om Chanting or Anuloma Viloma. At the closing of the class we chanted softly, and I felt oneness in the room. Om Namah Shivaya. 🕉☺️💗🙏🏻🧘🏻‍♀️🌱🗽 Photo credit: 📸 @1stladycrimson 😘 . . . 🧘🏻‍♀Hosts:  @mintyogini @nishthabijlani @yoganama . 🎁Sponsors: @tri_dosha @paavaniayurveda @mystic.light @yogaessentialsindia @livingfood.co @yogitodayindia @herbivore.farms @vayumudra . .

Welcome to Day 2 of #YamasinYourLife, where we delve into the understanding of Satya or truthfulness. According to the Yoga Sutras 2.36, as truthfulness (satya) is achieved, the fruits of actions naturally result according to the will of the Yogi. 🙇🏻‍♀️ (satya pratisthayam kriya phala ashrayatvam). . . Today we look into heart opener postures. Many who see my posts assume that my practice is easy peasy. I don’t see asanas as easy, but a way to understand one’s truth. 😌Coming into Purna Dhanurasana was not an easy feat. Breath is life, and with more even breath comes stillness. 😌🕉🙏🏻🧘🏻‍♀️🌱🗽 . .

It’s Day 3 of the #GunasOfAyurveda #yogachallenge, and the asana in Bhastrika or Virabhadrasana (III) aka #warrior3 pose. 🏹 Tamas is the quality of dullness or inactivelity, apathy, inertia or lethargy. Tamas is the quality of dullness or inactivelity, apathy, inertia or lethargy, and that is exactly how my body felt when coming into the pose. Can you see it in my face? 😏 My body felt pretty lethargic after the crow pose variation this morning, so I’m resting after this. 😌🕉🙏🏻🧘🏻‍♀️🌱🗽 .

Last pose is Day 2 of the #GunasOfAyurveda #yogachallenge in Shambhavi or Viparitakarani aka #legsupthewall. I must admit...There are times when I prefer really push my body in the Ashtanga practice. Other times, Not so much. 😁Viparitakarani eases my troubled mind, and putting my hands to my heart brought inner peace. 😌🕉🙏🏻🌱🗽 . . . 🧘🏻‍♀Hosts:  @mintyogini @nishthabijlani @yoganama . 🎁Sponsors: @tri_dosha @paavaniayurveda @mystic.light @yogaessentialsindia @livingfood.co @yogitodayindia @herbivore.farms @vayumudra .

🎉NEW CHALLENGE ANNOUNCEMENT🎉 - BEGINS SOON! . Come join us January 10-14 in #YamasinYourLife, a challenge where we will explore the five Yamas described in the Yoga Sutras of Patañjali paired with yoga poses along with insights on the wisdom of the sutras and our modern take on how we can implement his teachings in our modern life. . "Undifferentiated by birth, place, time, or convention, concerning all conditions -- [the Yamas] are the great vow (Mahavrata)." (Yoga Sutras, 2.31) . Patañjali refers to the five Yamas, the ethical guidelines and first step for practice mentioned in his Ashtanga Yoga system, as the great vow to be practiced by all, regardless of any external circumstances. During this challenge, we'll take a closer look at each Yama separately to ponder on their importance and hopefully make sense on them, and find little ways in which we can introduce them into our everyday life to make our yoga practice more meaningful. . This challenge is for everyone, whether you are already familiar with the Yamas or a completely newbie -- let's explore them together 🎈 . . 📜How to play: 1) Repost this flyer and tag a few friends who might want to join! 2) Follow all hosts and sponsors. 3) Take a pic/video of the daily practice/pose and post it using the challenge hashtag.
