6/26/2018

 
Strong Foundations Tonight
5:45 – 7:15pm at Yoga Lab
 
“The River”
 
Flow like a river
 
Find strength in softness
Like water over a stone
Smooth your rough edges
 
Free your fascia
Hydrate and lubricate your joints
Mobilize to energize
 
Move with fluidity
Access a deeper strength
Connect to your core and compassionate heart
 
Not swept away by strong currents
 
Paddle and steer with skill
Navigate the rocks and rapids
Roll and resurface when the boat flips
 
Take off your shoes
Sit on the bank of the mind
Watch the flow of thought pass by
 
Practice with patience over time
Observe subtle shifts and changes
Feel ease in your body and mind
 
Let’s Stream it Together

Strong Foundations Tonight: "Roots"

Strong Foundations 
Tonight at Yoga Lab 
5:45 – 7:15pm

“Roots”
 
The Great Banyan Tree in Kolkata India has approximately 3618 prop roots
Its canopy covers 1300 square feet
It has expanded way beyond the boundary of a small green fence
What looks like a grove of separate trees is actually ONE organism 
Sharing a common root structure
 
What a reminder of interconnectedness
 
To go back to your roots
Return to the source
A compassionate recognition of interbeing
Not division, not separation
Not a wall or a fence
 
Root down to rise UP 
Feel the points of contact with the earth
Ground reaction force connecting you to your core
Practicing together in a community
Recognizing the light in yourself 
Seeing the same light in others
Tapping into your strength
To better prop up and support each other
 
Yoga - yoke, union, unity 
Connecting body, mind, & breath
with the Earth
with the divine
with all beings
 
Rooted and connected
With a Strong Foundation
 
Namaste
See you there
