Episode 32--Forever Dance

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.
