This is a new start of an 8 week period for some and the end of 8 weeks for others. Perhaps a theme on beginnings and endings would have been in order. Alas, it is not what I chose. This week we're talking about the 3 A's of Anusara Yoga, which are Attitude, Alignment, and Action. The focus will be on Attitude.
A person with a positive attitude or outlook on life can be referred to as an optimist. In Dr. Weil's writings on managing stress, he suggests that optimists have healthier and happier lives.
In class, we'll follow our breath and work with backbends in order to find more openness in our hearts and fullness in our breath. Both of these qualities help in feeling more contentment and joy inside. Beginners may check out Setu Bandhasana or Bridge. Continuing students might like to work with Urdhva Mukha Svanasana or Up Dog. Bring special awareness to keeping the spine long, heart lifted, and tailbone scooped.
See you all in class :-)
