Today we will practice moon salutations. Moon salutations are incredibly strengthening for your lower body. Not only is it strengthening for your lower body, but it also increases flexibility in your hips, groin, hamstrings, ankles, low back, and spine. Your upper body reaches and bends in this vinyasa opening up your shoulders and chest as well, making space for increased breathing through your side body. This flow is incredibly grounding and calming. We will also sit with a mudra that opens up your chest to increase respiration and circulation. 

Today`s yoga class is the first in a few classes that are add-ons to the Cultural Conditioning Series from 2013. This was a favourite series for many Namaste Yogis. Today we will question the myth of the hero’s journey where we overcome some obstacle and then our life is smooth sailing. In reality, our life is a series of challenges, sometimes simultaneous that is much more cyclical in nature. Through the practice of the cyclical moon salutation, breath awareness and mudra we will explore these cycles that are present in our lives and nature as a way for us to awaken.
