This week’s Yoga with Melissa West combines the best of yoga and qigong to intentionally cultivate gratitude for all the gifts in our life. We begin by opening our heart center with supported heart bed posture and then open the heart meridian with some arm movements. The Inner Smile Meditation connects you with the healing energy of the sun’s radiant light and clears out any negative energy from your body. Cat pose releases your spine, gate pose releases your groin, pigeon releases your hips. The standing yoga postures ground and strengthen your lower body, help you find balance and create flow in your upper body. We finish the class by opening up your hips with cow’s face pose. 

This week’s poetry in motion class focuses on Hafiz’s poem So Many Gifts. Throughout the class we will focus on all the amazing gifts available for us to enjoy in our world around us when we harmonize with nature and all living beings. We will also take time to express gratitude for and recognize the miracle of our physical, mental, emotional and energetic body with the teachings, yoga postures, breath practices, meditation and mudra.
