In today's yoga class we will be exploring bird yoga poses, specifically eagle pose, pigeon pose and peacock feather pose. These poses facilitate flexibility in the joints, as well as strength in the upper and lower body. In order to prepare for these poses we will practice strengthening your lower body with bridge pose as well as release your lower body with shoulder openers. The class will round out with some reclined twists and forward folds. It also includes some breathing practices like the so hum mantra and alternate nostril breathing. 

This poetry in Motion Class focuses on Naomi Shihab Nye's poem Two Countries which allows us to open the doors of awareness to the wisdom of our physical bodies. Our bodies have been present with us throughout our entire lives and as such are an incredible source of knowledge and memory of our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual experiences. When we bring awareness to what our bodies are telling us through the practice of yoga we can uncover the depth of this wisdom and knowledge.
