Teaching My Family

My daughter, Kelli,  had been asking me when I was going to teach, so she could come.  So for her birthday I prepared a special class for her and invited all her siblings and any spouses who wanted to attend.  Syl was so kind to allow us to use the Bodhi Yoga Center for the occasion which also applied to some of my teaching hours.

 Hands on adjustments are very helpful and feel great.

We held a space in our hearts for all the family members who were not there including their father who passed away four years ago this month.  It was a wonderful bonding healing family experience. 

I honor and love them all. I am so very blessed.

Week 4: BREATH, BONE, GESTURE

Breath is Rajasic, Bone is Tamasic and Gesture is Sattvic

BREATH
Pranayama for balancing the Gunas can be used to either calm or energize.


BONE

Articulation, Alignment and Joint Functions 

GESTURE

Bandhas are gathering contractions deep in the body's cor line that help circulate heat through out the body and direct energy a d strength within the Asana.  When we get our Bandhas right, they actually unlock the potential of the pose and creates a deeper understanding of the potential of each asana, and is the foundation for the powerful Gesture aspect of the asana.
