Focus on the Breath & Body to Bring Calm to Our Lives

Vinyasa Flow | By Jo Tastula on Aug 27 2012
Neuroscientist I'm not... but the brain science of today indicates that the nature of mind is one that is unpredictable and often stressful. Learning to focus on the body and breath is one way that we can elevate a stressed out mind and bring more calm to our lives. This is a rather playful class with sun salutations (surya namaskar a) warriors (virabhadrasana) triangle (trikonasana) half moon (ardha chandrasana). Look out for some tricky transitions with revolved chair (parivrtta utkatasana). Free time at the end for self practice and savasana to finish.

    By far my favorite yogaglo class so far - thank you, Jo, so much. You managed to make practice challenging and calming all at once. I had a headache for two days straight and I swear this made it so much better.

  • Deborah Moulton     Aug 28th, 2012
    great class Jo and good reminder re breath - could i do shoulder stands and plough for inversions???
    • Jo Tastula     Sep 17th, 2012
      Yes you can do shoulder stand and plough for inversions. Be very mindful when doing those poses though that you are perching at the top of your shoulders with weight on the shoulders and on the neck.
  • Vanessa Gatelein     Aug 28th, 2012
    Finally you're back!
    • Jo Tastula     Sep 17th, 2012
      Hi Vanessa!
  • Sarah Jones     Aug 27th, 2012
    Just took this class on my deck in the Rocky Mountains with my roommate as the sun was setting and moon was rising... truly breathtaking to match the breath with movement as the colors of the sky changed and to arise from savasana with stars above.... Thanks, Jo!
    • Jo Tastula     Sep 17th, 2012
      I want to be teleported to your deck... heavenly!
  • Alicia Stambaugh     Aug 27th, 2012
