  • This is a 60 minute vinyasa flow. Part 5 of the On & Off the Mat Series where we explore how to integrate some of the concepts and principles contained in Patanjali's Yoga Sutras. In this class, we touch on the concept of Maitri.. The practice of unconditional friendship. This is a wonderful heart centered class that includes postures to open your chest, back & the musculature around your heart space so you feel spacious, more mobile, breathe better and feel more cheerful.
    For practice you may wish to have a blanket for comfort.

    I've been practicing Yoga for 14 years now. At 64 years of age I have my limitations and your flows are my favorite. Steady, calming and complete...I always finish feeling energized but relaxed. Really like the 60 minute practices! Thanks for all the efforts you put in to this channel!

    I had to stop Yoga for more than 2 years due to knee surgery, but when I came back to your page few days ago, I had the feeling that I never stopped.
    Not because of my level that went down but because of your cessions that are always very good, smooth and strong, strong and smooth.
    I love you teaching.
    Namaste
