About this class

Yoga Sutra III:29: “Concentrated attention on the primordial navel center brings understanding of all bodily systems.”

In both Western and Eastern traditions the center of gravity within the pelvis is considered the calibrating keystone for organizing the entire body.  Sometimes referred to as the hara,dantien or the deep navel center, refining the position of the navel center gives us the ability to both release and contain the energy that moves through the pelvis.  Having a strong yet mobile core not only has a powerful physical effect, it also affects us energetically, emotionally and spiritually.

A particular emphasis of this class will be using the practice of yama or “restraint” as a way of bringing our fullest attention to stability within both the body and mind.  Stability is then used as the prerequisite condition from which to expand and a stable reference point to which we can return.  The mindful practice of yama serves to develop a sense of calmness in the nervous system and steadiness of the mind and heart.  

For this class, in addition to the Livestream Classes props list sent to you when booking, you will also need an MR ball and 2 tennis balls or something of a similar size and weight such as 2 lemons, or 2 oranges or 2 apples!  Your chosen prop should be small enough to fit easily into your hand. 

Please note:

As these are single 90-minute classes, the 15-day money-back guarantee that applies to longer-duration courses is not applicable.
