A creative vinyasa, which looks into how the mind can rebound back into our centre. We all have our own way of rebounding back - to refill our cup. But can we do this while exerting ourselves in our practise? Here we move though a dance like flow, moving from Warrior 3 into Warrior 1 whilst working through some side strengthening poses and asymmetrical lines.

Can we move with just enough effort. Can we watch as we arrive into a pose, feel the sensation of being held and then ride the wave as parts dissolve away. This is a dynamic practise looking at a variety of twist to wake up the heart. Looking at a creative variation on sun B’s, a playful transition into Prasarita and strong split legs into pincha. A fun, warming practise to wake up your soul and feel into our ground of awareness - with just. enough. effort. A test of staying calm in the eye of the pose!

Can we feel the ripple effects from the body into the mind and back again? Everything is so intimately connected, each breath, each step having a knock on effect across our being and beyond. We have become to so a-tuned in westernized culture to divide up the body but this flow looks at how we move as one unit, how one factional part effects the whole. This is a creative vinyasa flow, suitable for all levels, looking into lengthening our bone structure and widening out perspective as we float from one pose into the next.

Looking at our thoughts as feeling not as ultimate truth. This is a strong, fiery flow looking at back bends, open twists and a strong variations in standing splits. Here we draw our awareness to our thoughts, so much of yogi philosophy points towards the words ‘you are not your mind’ but how can we channel this into practise? How often do we begin a thought with ‘i am’? How can we move into neutrality, a calm state so we can begin to decipher what is real and true against what is emotional and reactive. This is a warm practise.

When you think of your centre, where is your awareness channelled to? What does it feel like? Look like? A line, a dot, an organ? What happens when we flow from centre? This is a fun vinyasa practise which play into variations of Sun B - to activate your abdominal walls and back chain. Poses here move past passive anchoring into more active holds. Expect some funky variations in down dog and navasana, a flow to open your hips and the lateral lines of the body.

This is a playful practise, expect to build heat as you flow through surya namaskar A and creative B variations. Philip Shepherd (who wrote Radical Wholeness) describes the body as a bell. Can we increase space within and surrounding us? So we can vibrate at a higher frequency and sense more clearly? The more we expand and flex the more we can feel into our resonance, our vibration which connects us to the world passing through us. Yogis should expect a lot of movement, a lot of sweat and more importantly, a lot of fun. Handstand option is given, but of course is completely optional. Enjoy my fellow yogis!
