Episode 35-- SHINE! A look at Aparigraha.
Thursday May 13, 2010
Thursday May 13, 2010
Blessings, dears.
This is episode 35 of the Sunrose Yoga Podcast with me, Kelly Connor. Today’s class is about 40 minutes long, all levels. Our philosophical focus of this class is aparigraha, non-possessiveness—one of the yamas. I’ve been writing and talking about aparigraha quite a bit lately. You can learn more about it at here on my blog, where I’m also in my last leg of the 30 day video blogging challenge.

Thank you all so so much for listening. I appreciate your support and offer this practice up to you with deep gratitude. I just read the most wonderful tweet from Deepak Chopra and feel it’s most appropriate given my feelings about this podcast:
I make my vocation my vacation. I know that I am following my bliss when my work is an act of love and devotion. Every day is a joy to live!
I actually have a bit of embarrassing news: I have been giving out the wrong phone number for months…on accident! My google voice message line is ACTUALLY 503-583-2599. Please call. I update the outgoing message with something new all of the time~~ You don’t even need to leave a message, you can just call to listen.

Also, I have a teeny favor, since my birthday is coming up in June. If you enjoy the podcast, could you take a moment to write a review of it in iTunes? That would be fantastic! Thank you.
And so, with that. I wish you peace on your path, love in your heart, and light in your eyes until we meet again and always, Namaste.

Episode 34-- Spaces in Time
Tuesday May 04, 2010
Tuesday May 04, 2010
Jai! Yogis.
Welcome you to Episode 34 of the Sunrose Yoga Podcast. Today’s class is a live recording from an hour-long level 2 class where we turn our attention to the spaces between—spaces between movements, spaces between breaths, spaces between thoughts. This begins with a strong flow and works into some arm balances and inversions. I hope you love it!
There were technical difficulties with last week’s video class. If you haven’t been able to watch this 30 minute video class, please visit my blog—sunroseyoga.wordpress.com to view that class.
I thank you all so much for your support. Thank you Cathy and Sandra!

Episode 32--Forever Dance
Wednesday Apr 21, 2010
Wednesday Apr 21, 2010
Hello. Welcome loves.
Today’s class is 30 minutes and a strong level one-two. We practice headstand/ sirsasana, which I recommend doing for the first time with a teacher in class or by checking out my sirsasana video online. Please exercise caution on your neck and do not practice if you have glaucoma, vertigo, a headache or sinus pressure. If you are expecting a baby, only practice headstand if it’s something you’ve practiced pre-pregnancy with some regularity. Always listen to your body and use good judgment when attempting postures.
Photos of the postures are all available in this photoset.
The poem by Hafiz in this class is “Forever Dance,” and is available in the compilation I heard God Laughing.
