With this class series, the number in title gives you the indication of how long we sit in silence for our meditation, offering the ability to work your way up to a full 18 mins. We will first do some pre meditative asana (movement). This particle meditation helps collect ourselves when we are feeling fragmented, and brings us to a place of feeling more whole. Create alignment within yourself and therefore alignment with your purpose and direction in life.
In this Ankh Body Signature Charka series we are balancing each charka with a similar sequence but tailored to the specific energy center. These chakras have to do with our survival , family, finances. Our desires, likes. and dislikes, intimacy, emotions those things relating to your “Self.” Our ability to lead and see clearly and release vanity, destructive behaviors and criticisms. Our self acceptance and love, empathy and compassion, as well as our close relationships. And more.
In this Goddess mini series, designed to slip in a little rejuvenation whenever you can, Goddess (Supta Baddha Konasana) is our feature. We will do one or two other restorative poses, and end with Goddess. I’ll leave you with a gentle waterfall sound and come back to bring you out. Breathe, relax, nurture, replenish, & enjoy. Namaste
