Namaste, dears.

Today’s episode features a video workshop on headstand (Sirsasana I).  This class is intended for students who have been exploring the possibility of going into headstand, but who could use a break-down of the various components.

Thank you so much for joining me.

Connect with me:  email me at sunroseyoga {at} gmail {dot} com; follow me on twitter http://twitter.com/yoginiinthehood/or on tumblr http://sunroseyoga.tumblr.com/.  Call our message line (we give and receive messages) 503-583-2599.

Yoga Journal outlines the many benefits of Sirsasana, including:

Before practicing sirsasana, warm up with surya namaskar (sun salutations), followed by core strengtheners (bridge, boat, locust, standing poses with belly pulled toward spine).

Follow sirsasana with sarvangasana (shoulder stand), halasana (plough), matsyasana (fish) or saddle, and apanasana.

Finish your practice with hip rolls, savasana (corpse, at least 5 minutes), and a seated meditation (need help starting? check out this video).

Namaste.

peace. & LOVE. always.

Considerations: Please do NOT begina headstand practice if you are pregnant, though experienced practicioners can continue practicing sirsasana throughout pregnancy.  If you have high blood pressure, heart conditions, eye injuries, neck injuries, or back injuries, please do not attempt headstand without first consulting your healthcare provider AND working with your regular yoga teacher in-person.  This video is intended for yogis who are familiar with headstand, but need additional mechanical advice.

MUSIC:  Seruiqam, Sevish, and Jack Jeffrey

Namaste, yogis.

Rest is an important component of our overall health.  Like the breath, our sleep can be both an indicator of and a product of our present mental state.  By that I mean that on one hand, an agitated mind can cause fitful sleep, and on the other hand, a night without rest can lead to agitation in the mind and body.  The sequence of postures featured in this podcast invite calm, to assist in creating an environment that encourages restful sleep.  You may wish to incorporate the whole sequence into your evening routine, or just a few of the poses that most assist you in transitioning from wakefulness to sleep.

This podcast features podsafe music by Seruiqam and The Eternal via Podsafe Audio.

Thank you all so much for listening.

Please do get in touch: email me at sunroseyoga {at} gmail {dot} com, follow me on twitter at http://twitter.com/yoginiinthehood, or follow me on tumblr at http://sunroseyoga.tumblr.com/.   Tell me your story.

Much gratitude to those of you who have donated to this podcast. 

My heart is open to you.

peace. & LOVE. always.

Namaste my dears,

Today’s episode features a live recording of my Monday afternoon flow class.  This class is a strong level 2 and focuses on the Manipura Chakra (solar plexus, seat of power).  The point of building heat and fostering strength in this practice is to let go of thoughts that interfere with our return to the divine.  Focus your attention on the process, rather than the “product”.  Feel prana penetrating each cell of the body.  Let go of what you do not need, and let your divine nature shine.

Begin in child’s pose (balasana).  (My recording began after we already assumed child’s pose.)

Thank you so so much for your support.

Thank you Miss Sara & Miss Amy for your sweet support!

Namaste.
