Greetings!!! Yes, it is the first week of May, so that means it is time for weights!!! Come to the mat ready to sculpt, tone, and strengthen, as we incorporate weight use into our asana practice. As we work our core this week our Sanskrit focus will be the “solar plexus chakra”, or “MANIPURA” the lustrous jewel. It is the seat for self-confidence, self-identity, and will power, and is associated with the element of fire. Our mudra focus will be “KATARI”, or “Final Relaxation Pose-Savasana”. This whole body mudra promotes deep breathing, regenerates the autonomic nervous system and organ activity, and relaxes the entire body. Our meditation music is “Piano for Relaxation”—The Butterfly Waltz, and our meditation focus is “Slow down”. Have a great week, and always we can’t “weight” to see you on the mat.
