This 90 min mixed level vinyasa class was recorded the evening following the full moon in Aug '10. It is a class that is bathed in the auspicious lunar energies of inner wisdom, balance, creativity and playfulness. With lots of heart and hip opening to allow the lunar love to flow! You may need a yoga block as we include Ardha Chandrasana (Half Moon) and maybe a blanket or padding for some kneeling poses. We work towards the peak pose of Galavasana so please ensure you're familiar with this before you start. Go to my gallery at www.bluelotusyoga.co.uk if you need to remind yourself of this posture! Hope you enjoy....Om Shanti xxxx

On August 22nd we were blessed with a beautiful sunny afternoon so eighteen yogi's took our practice outdoors!!! Deb Auden & I taught this 2hr flowing class to open the respiratory system and heart space to the vibrant outdoor prana! As we were outdoors and we had a warm breeze the sound on this podcast is not first class but...hey, ho.....you can still get the gist! There is a mid section where we did some partner work so if you don't have buddies with you when you practice maybe spend some time playing with half bridge, full setu bandasana (bridge) or chakrasana (wheel). Hope you enjoy! Would love your feedback....here or contact me at www.bluelotusyoga.co.uk Love & Light xxxx

Here's the last class of the term for those of you who couldn't be there! It's a 90 min vinyasa class and you may want to have a block in reaching distance. There is some partner work towards the end of the class. If you are working alone you could practice the tripod headstand with your back a short distance away from the wall and do a regular down dog and childs pose instead of the partner work! For details of the summer classes that I refer to on the podcast please visit www.bluelotusyoga.co.uk Have a great summer filled with love and laughter! xxx
