Episode 3: The Infinite Breath of Life

Namaste, dear yogis. Sunrose Yoga Podcast is back with episode 3.  Today's episode features a full-length yoga class, deep relaxation, and short chant.  This class is inspired by the following sutra: Yoga Sutras II: 47-48 The means of perfecting the [yoga] posture is that of relaxing or loosening of effort, and allowing attention to merge with endlessness, or the infinite. (prayatna shaithilya ananta samapattibhyam). From the attainment of that perfected posture, there arises an unassailable, unimpeded freedom from suffering due to the pairs of opposites (such as heat and cold, good and bad, or pain and pleasure).(tatah dvandva anabhighata) Asanas {postures}: Chakravakasana Adho Mukha Svanasana 3-legged dog Uttanasana Half-way lift Surya Namaskar A {Sun Salutation A} Utkatasana Surya Namaskar B {adds virabhadrasana 1/warrior 1} Vasistasana {side plank} Surya Namaskar C {adds vira 2, trikonasana, utthita parsvakonasana} Bhaktasana {devotional} Anjaneyasana {low crescent}, Parivrtta anajaneyasana {twisted crescent}, Lizard Natarajasana {dancing shiva-cosmic dancer} Janu sirsasana, ardha matsyendrasana Sarvangasana, halasana, matsyasana, setu bandha sarvangasana, urdhva dhanurasana Happy baby, apanasana, jathara parivartanasana, savasana.
