Yoga with Melissa 352 Back to School Yoga: Yoga and Body Image 

Today’s intermediate yoga class focuses on yoga postures that will allow you to shift your attention from an externally focused yoga practice focused on the achievement of yoga postures and shapes to an internally focused yoga practice focused on the sensations of your embodied experience. In an online video culture that focuses predominantly on how the body looks in a yoga pose we are focusing on something quite different in Yoga with Melissa classes. Rather than looking at our bodies from the outside, we are bringing awareness to our experience from the inside. In our yoga practice we ask the question: what is happening inside my body? Our awareness turns inward.

This way of experiencing our yoga practice from the inside out is a subtle and more mature form of awareness. When we turn our awareness inwards to mindfulness from the inside of our body, we let go of knowing what we will find when we turn our attention to our physical, mental, emotional and energetic experience. We come to our experience without expectation. Each time we turn inward it may be different. Join us for a yoga class that honours the real life messy experiences of human beings that come in all age, shape, gender and sexual identities.
