Yoga for the Legs

As humans, we can be very forward thinking. We can spread ourselves way to thin. If you think about dogs, a well-behaved dog doesn't live out on the edge of its leash always pulling toward the next thing. A disciplined dog knows how to heel. Since we aren't dogs, by no means is this practice meant to treat you like one - however through the playful exploration of many of the dog poses AND anchoring ourselves here and now, we will work on the discipline it takes to heel. And through this heeling, we might activate your own healing. This vinyasa class is well-rounded, but with a slight emphasis on hamstring opening.

This class is apart of a zodiacal series to attune the physical and subtle body to the energetics of the Moon in Gemini. It works to open the side-body, chest, and diaphragm. It strengthens the inner to outer communication, focusing from inner self and intuitive expression.

It can be practiced when the moon is in Gemini, each month, or if your birth moon is in Gemini and you'd like to accentuate the physical and mental qualities.

This practice focuses on the interconnected relationship of the body and the mind and how our awareness of one, directly affects the other. In a yin practice, we disengage the muscles of the body to access the drier tissues within and at the same time we can also observe the mind expand.

Dancer's Pose is one of the most potent and difficult postures. It's a balancing pose that asks us to stay strong amidst our wobbly times in life. It also asks the shoulder to open deeply into the backplane. We start slow and work steadily towards opening our hips and shoulders through balancing poses as well as taking our shoulders into the backplane. Though it's a slow-moving class we go deep. Jeanie uses a strong and steady tree to balance on for the full expression of Natarajasana with a strapm as this class is offered from the beautiful Eldorado Canyon State Park on a windy Fall day with lots of challenging obstacles to balance. The theme is steady yourself as the wind attempts to blow you off your midline.

The Sage, Vasistha, and King Visvamitra are the inspiration for this class. The King is enamoured by the Sages inner powers. In fact, The King has a cow that brings forth anything he wishes for.

The cow is now for sale however and the King must learn some arduous lessons that only deep practice can offer us. This class is a playful and guided practice into these challenging arm balances. I break it down so it's possible to get into it!! Have fun, enjoy the outdoor setting of Eldorado Canyon State Park
