Today we are having a LIVE class :) This is REal Yoga for REal People so you can move better, feel better and connect with your true nature, Welcome back to the Moving at the Speed of our Body Series, this class is about yoga and living without effort. Today’s yoga class will be all restorative yoga postures: child’s pose with a bolster, downward facing dog with props, a reclined twist with a bolster, reclined bound angle pose and a side lying savasana. By practicing on our mats without effort we have a perfect container for letting go of striving and struggle in our lives as well. 

You have a choice whenever you do something, to try harder, to apply effort or to let go and allow yourself to flow naturally with the world around you. Focus on what you are doing, allow your attention to go into it, but you do not need to strain. As we are only a couple of days away from the Christmas here, it is easy to get caught up in the energy of excessive effort and struggle. We overwork and exhaust ourselves. Today we will explore letting go of effort, starting right here.
