Yoga For The Liminal Space
Before the end of the year, before a new one begins, we find ourselves in the space between, where we encounter the opportunity to rewire ourselves, to untangle some things and to restructure others.
This video begins with a conversation about the liminal space, the opportunities that it presents, and how to embody it, using a teaching from the Vijnana Bhairava (a text written in India in the 7th or 8th century). We then bring the teaching into practice through the body with movement and breath. We will end with a short and sweet meditation.
This practice will open your hips, strengthen your legs, and stretch your thighs and your spine, leaving you grounded, energized, and spacious..

    I should admit it, but only tonight I noticed you're celebrating the same Goddess 😂I imagined this is a series of separate stories. At the same time, I never imagined I could go with this. The narrative makes me think differently and more open to the other. Please don't stop posting 🌚

      I love that! It IS confusing! That’s part of the point I think. Because it is a story of one goddess, but she is many goddesses as well. So it’s a few different stories of a few goddesses. Just like us - we’re not just one thing, are we? She’s the invitation into our complexity. That’s why I love her!

    A new interesting story. What makes me confused the contradictions within the same entity...Dark & Light - Beautiful & Ugly - Love & Hate, etc. I can't absorb this idea. Also, my religious beliefs are always in the background. Could you please help 😊

    • @MamaMandala
      @MamaMandala 2 місяці тому

      Yes! We are all the contradictions. We are made of light and darkness and everything that’s in between. We have beauty and we have parts that are difficult to look at and be with. Everything that we feel aversion toward, exists within us as well. Like the planet, we cycle, like the moon, we phase. We have day and night, fear and anger and joy. love and grief cannot exist without each other. We are a walking , breathing paradox. Truth holds with it opposing energies. Nothing is just one thing. Everything is made of dichotomy. And yes - religion does stand in contrast to these concepts, because religion wants simple answers, clear solutions, and certainty. I think confusion and questioning are important and wise.

      I think you can try it with both intentions and see how it makes you feel. It is grounding and slow, but also shakes off excess energy and leaves you clear and ready for what comes next. Let me know what you think once you try it. I’d love to know how it affects you.

      Just finished the practice. It's a different experience to me and I like it. I used to deal with my emotions and live in the here and now through yoga nidra and breathworth. So, my practice is always static. The movement challenges me, I felt somehow distracted. Maybe because my usual practice is in the back of my mind 😀 In 2013, I tried different yoga styles but unlike pilates, I found it difficult to practice yoga on my own while watching a video. But you know what, your eagerness to know its impact on me, made me feel I'm not practicing alone. Thank you 🙏🏼
