How do we become our best friend in this lifetime?

Yin | By Felicia Tomasko on Jun 15 2012
This practice is like upgrading your operating system for the body, mind, heart, and spirit. With a sequence that includes alternating forward folds, twists, and hip openers, our primary aim is releasing tension in the neck and shoulders. We do this by paying attention to the length of the spine--from top to bottom--in this class that allows us to befriend the concept of surrender. Instead of giving up, we are deeply connecting with the different layers of our body: physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, our higher knowledge, and our sense of bliss and connectedness. How do we befriend our body, mind, heart, spirit? How do we become our best friend in this lifetime? This is the aim of this practice--go deep, slow, and potent.

    Sat Nam Felicia! I loved this class. It really has a lot of self-compassion and love in it! And I really needed to show that to my body after being sick with a cold all week. I dig the kundalini tunes in the background. I am going to use this for my night time yoga practice for a while. I need it! Thanks. Namaste! Juliana
    Oh, do you have a Yin Yoga or Restorative Yoga class that focuses completely on neck tension. I have 3 herniated disks and some arthritic facets. I think you would do a great class on that. Just a special request!! Lol!! (:

    beautiful, thank you, love your classes
  • Jennifer LaFleur     Aug 5th, 2012
    rejeuvenating and delightful as always! I especially appreciate your comments about the benefit of surrender, which often gets a bad name. It was one of the most interesting and important things I learned in cancer treatment: acceptance is not resignation; it's what gives you the space to cope and to heal. Thanks, Felicia!

    Thank you, this was my first class since signing up on 'yogaglo' .... I loved it! I will be back for more. I liked the cue 'draping'...I saw the visual of a heavy velvet curtain. Heavy but also very soft and beautiful. Yummy :)
