Today’s Namaste Yoga will create self reflection through forward folding yoga postures that open up your hips, inner thighs and hamstrings. These yoga postures are beneficial for digestion, back pain, sciatica, arthritis, and will also open up your chest, shoulders, decompress your spine while providing relief from anxiety, mild depression, stress, menopause and menstrual symptoms, fatigue, all while calming your mind. Together with the yoga postures we will also explore pranayama or breath practice to bring our breath deep into our belly for self reflection. We will also employ a Saraswati mantra for self awareness to cultivate self reflection.

In the penultimate class of the focused living series we come to the niyama swadhaya. Today we will find focus through inner reflection. In our culture we overstuff our minds with information. It is my belief that at this time what we need is a deeper level of inner knowledge through self-reflection. Focus through inner reflection for me means coming to understand our physical, mental, emotional, energetic and spiritual bodies. With so many things in our lives pulling our attention up and out, from social media, our personal commitments, work, and social life, it takes a great deal of discipline and practice to turn our attention down and in for self-reflection. In our yoga class today we will employ yoga postures or asanas, breath practice or pranayama and mantra to bring our focus down and in for self-reflection.
