This one hour beginner level class moves towards Natarajasana in a fluid and gentle way. This peak pose combines backbending and balancing and so requires bravery and openess. The aim of the class is to open the body, release fear and embrace freedom in our hearts and minds. You may need a yoga strap and some wall space for this practice Enjoy xxx

During this 90 min class we journey to the peak pose of Vasisthasana. Complementing the vinyasa practice is the story of the sage Vasista... this story teaches us to quieten the mind chatter and recognize that the Divine light lies within us. The story is taken from the book Myths of the Asanas by Alanna Kaivalya and Arjuna van der Kooij.....A Fabulous book that helps us to understand the essence of individual asana! Enjoy!
