I’ll be teaching at a great studio in Vista, called Yoga Vista on Sunday mornings from 9am to 10:15am.  It’ll be  a level 2-3 vinyasa flow, but all levels are welcome!  Yoga Vista runs a special for new clients:  Unlimited yoga for 30 days is only $30.00.  Come try it out; I would love to see you there!

Hi everyone!  For the next two weeks we’ll be focusing on the core, which is where the strength for all yoga poses originates.  As beginners, you may notice that limbs seem to have a mind of their own, working independently of the torso.  For this focus, we’ll be making sure that our limbs are an extension of our core–everything stemming from our Mula Bandha and Uddiyana Bandha.  At my studio classes, we’ll also be practicing Salamba Sirsasana (the king of all yoga poses, the headstand) and Ahdo Mukha Vrksasana (handstand).  Don’t worry, there will be many options! 

Also, I’ll be delving into yogic philosophies week by week.  This week will be the 1st Yama by Patanjali:  Ahimsa, which means to do no harm. 

Can’t wait to see you all!

Psssst!  I’ll tell you the secret to almost every single yoga pose:  CREATING SPACE WITHIN THE SPINE!  Space in the spine equals levity, energy and freedom, and who doesn’t want a little more of those?  We’ll be doing moon salutations for the first time in my class!  Moon salutations warm the joints while stretching the entire body, creating a cooling effect.  While sun salutations represent the hero’s journey stepping forward to face life’s challenges, the moon series enacts the journey of desent into one’s creativity and inspiration.  Through lunges, squats, heart and spine openers, we’ll feel more grounded, open to emotions and joyful.  Woo Woo!  See you all there!
