This Weekly Yoga with Melissa yoga class is all about letting go with Jewel Mathieson's poem Be Danced. We will begin by opening your heart center in supported fish pose. From there we will continue to open your heart center and throat center with half bow and backbending pigeon with lion's breath. We will practice squat pose and cat pose to come deep into our belly. The standing yoga postures will allow us to let go into the empowering dance that Jewel Mathieson envisions with Be Danced. We will finish by letting go with dying warrior and savasana. 

Be Danced by Jewel Mathieson speaks to embracing the world as it is as Pema Chodron would say. With these teachings we agree to show up fully for all of life. We don't run away from any experience, we refuse to accept anything. Pema Chodron describes it as a complete acceptance and surrender to every sight, sound, thought, experience, person, smell and taste we are experiencing and encountering in each moment. The Poem, Be Danced speaks to a kind of openness to all of life, situations, experiences and emotions and a willingness to experience them fully with complete authenticity. There is a refusal to reject any part of the experience. With this dance you are turning toward your experience rather than away from it. Through the yoga postures, breath practices, and mudra we will dance into the experience with Poetry in Motion this week.
