Reflections upon contrast.....
Tonight's class was Yin and Yang yoga.
It centers on the philosophy that we do some real practice with warming or heating ( our core bodies - NOT the room) Vinyasa poses, while centering and balancing that out with more restful and cooling poses. Alot of contrast.
Because it was the last class of the evening, in contrast to the morning and day time classes, we did many lunar salutations. Our breath flowed in and out while raising our heart centers up towards the moon. While the yoga itself was challenging, the movements were slow and concentrated, the poses were held for a deep inhalation followed by a deep exhalation before moving one. It was one big graceful flow of breath and movement.
I felt like a beautiful graceful swan ( or ballet dancer).
I loved this class both for it's energizing qualities yet contrasted by it's calming and restorative qualities.
Readying me for my journey to lunar dreams.
~Namaste~ from my heart to your heart.......
