Yoga with Melissa 127, Ganesh Honours his Parents is a story that teaches us about intelligence and honour. Ganesh takes the time to tune in to his inner knowing and seek higher knowledge before making rash decisions or having a temper tantrum or losing his cool like his brother. In the story Ganesh honours his parents and in this honouring and intelligent response wins the contest over speed and physical skill. In our class today we will practice honouring ourselves and honouring the human spirit through the warrior poses. We will also work a bit with peacock preparatory poses in honour of Ganesh’s brother. 

The yoga postures or asanas in this hatha yoga class focus on hip opening poses, inversion preparation as well as many variations of the warrior poses. The poses in this class follow the story of Ganesh, his brother and his parents. We finish the class with some seated forward folds, twists and a mudra of inner self.
