Idol
Here we dive into what wisdom means to you, on and off your mat. Can we envisage who our wisest idols are? What is your epitome of wisdom today? This is really the last class to cover the Kosha system this month and in a way this practice bring it all together. Enjoy moving creativity as we approach half warrior 2, half reverse and even a half prasarita whilst enjoying a little journey through the mind, beneath the ego to our inner intelligence and great innate wisdom.

Annamaya

Perspective
Here to take a look into perspective. Taking todays theme from a new Netflix show called Abstract - the art of design. Here Olafur Eliasson looks at how perspective is created, how art requires three main things, the object, the seer (you the lens) and finally maybe most importantly LIGHT. In this vinyasa flow we take a closer look.

Focus & Control
A steady vinyasa which looks closely at our sense of control versus our intentions which focus the mind. It’s a tricky parallel to think about while floating from pose to pose but this vinyasa is slow enough to direct awareness into one stream of thought. What really is the difference between our ability to focus AND our abilities to find control - are these interlinked? Or can we find focus with a sense of ease? Enjoy this creative vinyasa, full of twists, turns, hip stretches like skandasana and full spinal stretches like anahatasana.
