Grounded in LOVE.

Namaste, dear readers.

The following sequence promotes a deep connection to the core, to the core of the earth and to the core of one’s being. Practice with an intention of deep self-love.

Begin in Supta Badhakonasana (reclined bound angle) and practice abdominal breathing for 1-3 minutes. Let the hips relax and find a place of “zero muscle,” where you feel completely supported by the earth. If your hips feel tight, prop them up with firm pillows or blocks until you find that magical place requiring absolutely no physical exertion.

Mini-chakravakasana vinyasa.

Thread the needle, parighasana (gate pose), dancer’s melt.

Surya Namaskar (twice), plus the following add-ons with each successive cycle: utthita parsvakonasana, virabhadrasana ii, trikonasana; virabhadrasana i, parsvottanasana; and anjaneyasana, virabhadrasana iii, parivrtta anjaneyasana.

Vrksasana

Hip-opening sequence: adho mukha svanasana (down-dog), eka pada kapotasana (pigeon), gomukhasana (cow-faced pose), paripurna navasana (boat), sarvangasana (shoulder stand), matsyasana (lord of the fishes), and apanasana (double-leg wind-reliever).

Winding down with Jathara Parivartanasana (hip rolls) and Savasana (corpse/ preparation for rebirth).

Namaste.
