There are many forms of exercise that require force, extreme tests of strength, competition, and pressure — but yoga is not one of them. With the intention to feel good in your body, explore the practice as if you were the teacher, guiding yourself into a series of postures that support you in releasing judgment, clearing negativity, and opening up to heal. We begin with a mudra meditation and a reading of chapter 4 in Living Your Yoga. The practice includes supported bridge, happy baby, spinal twists, butterfly, pigeon variations, forward folds, and leg tapping.

Living Your Yoga embodiment practice: Rather than approaching your yoga practice (or any practice) from an attitude of no pain, no gain, how about no pain, no pain?
Mantra for Daily Living: No pain, no pain.
