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.

Episode 29--Spring Sensations
Wednesday Mar 31, 2010
Wednesday Mar 31, 2010
Namaste, dear YOGIS.
Spring blessings to you! Today's class is 30 minutes in length. This is a level 2 class (basic knowledge of postures is implied in instruction) focusing our reconnection with Earth-energy during the glorious months of spring. We come back into our bodies during this time. Let's connect more deeply with the natural world around us. To that end, find your favorite animal or plant posture and practice it often outdoors! {To view photos & videos of today's class, click this link.} The music you hear in the background of today's class is by Deva Premal, who I had the great joy of experiencing live in concert last week. If you have the opportunity to hear Deva, Miten & Manose, you simply must-- they bring such love to the music. Introductory music is by Seruiqam via Podsafe Audio. Thank you, dears, for your sweet support of this podcast. Special thanks this week to Peggy, Jenny & the other lunchtime yogis who practice with them! I am so happy to be a part of your practice. A shout-out to Ms. Audrey who let me know she stepped into the world inversions this week and is now dancin' on the ceiling! I hope you share your yoga story with me too-- or just let me know you are listening.*Connect*

Saturday Mar 06, 2010
Namaste, dear yogis.
I hope you are enjoying every breath this week. Thank you so much for joining me for the Sunrose Yoga Podcast. In this episode, we begin to play with the concept of santosha (contentment), which is one of the niyamas (personal observances) described in Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras.
II:42 From an attitude of contentment (santosha), unexcelled happiness, mental comfort, joy, and satisfaction is obtained.
Please get in touch with your yoga stories!
ALL LOVE,
Kelly

Episode 25--Flow Like Water

Thursday Feb 25, 2010
Hello hello, dear yogis.
Thank you so much for joining me for Episode 25 of the Sunrose Yoga Podcast. Today’s episode features an hour-long, level 2 class exploring our relationship with resistance. I hope you love it.
*
You may have heard the expression that your nature isn't revealed by what happens to you, but how you respond. In today's class, we explore the idea of softening into resistance...in the hope of turning perceived obstacles into inspirations!
I’m adding two public classes to my schedule next week at a brand new studio—Yoon’s Yoga Bliss in North Seattle (15823 Westminster Way North-- near Paper Zone). In honor of the grand opening, I’ll be teaching a free 90 minute class Friday night at 5:45pm—come join me!

Thank you Karyn for your kind words about the podcast. I appreciate your energy!

All of you, thanks for your emails, comments on the blog, and donations. If you have a minute, please review me in iTunes!! I love it!

Episode 15-- Open your Heart to JOY!
Tuesday Dec 08, 2009
Tuesday Dec 08, 2009
Namaste dear ones! Thank you so much for sharing your time with the Sunrose Yoga Podcast. I am so grateful for you and your support. This week's class focuses on the ultimate heart opening postures: back-bends. This class is the first in a two part series on back bends. Today's class emphasizes the anatomical subtleties of these postures, culminating in urdhva dhanurasana, while next week's class will turn to the energetic properties of the same postures. Backbending postures require strength in the quadriceps, shoulders and core. To create space in the low back (instead of compression), we draw the tailbone toward earth, while widening our pelvic bowl (spreading the outer thighs and sitting bones). Lift the heart, while relaxing the shoulders. Fill your heart with JOY in the postures! With love & gratitude, Kelly Please connect with me: email: sunroseyoga {at} gmail {dot} com phone: (503) 583-5299 twitter: @yoginiinthehood Thank you thank you! Leslie, for the sweet review in iTunes! Amy for your donation! Listeners, please visit The Prana Mama, a donor to this podcast. The postures: Easy seat, anjali mudra. Bhaktasana (devotional pose). Adho mukha svanasana (downward-facing dog) to three-legged dog. Deep lunge. Ardha uttanasana- uttanasana (1/2 lifts). Anjaneyasana (crescent pose). Plank. Sphynx. Bhujangasana (cobra). Adho Mukha Svanasana. Utthita Parsvakonasana (extended lateral angle). Virabhadrasana i with garuda arms (warrior i with eagle arms). Natarajasana (dancing Shiva). Dhanurasana (bow). Eka pada kapotasana (pigeon i, ii). Setu Bandha Sarvangasana (bridge). Urdhva dhanurasana (upward bow). **Tip: if you are fearful about upward bow, begin by backbending over an exercise ball (photos to follow). Happy baby. Savasana (pose of rest). OM! Shanti!
