Our Sanskrit focus will be Satsamga, or ” a company of truth, a community gathering”, or “keeping good company”!!! Which celebrates what YFL is all about!!! Our mudra of the week will be the Pushpaputa, which focuses on openness and acceptance. The hands are placed palms up, and fingers gathered together like empty bowls or open hands. This mudra represents open hands that enrich the world. It is only with an open heart, mind, and soul that we may receive the riches that the Universe gives us.

GOOD MONDAY MORNING YOGIS AND YOGINIS!!! This week we will explore the importance of twisting through asana practice. Twists ignite the Vayu (life breath) in our belly, and activates prana and all the body’s systems. Twisting is particularly important in aiding good digestion. This week’s Sansrkit focus is Vayu, and our mudra is Pran: this mudra improves our vitality and vision, and reduces fatigue and nervousness. We will explore the 5th brocade of Quigong. Come on into YFL  and let’s twist together!!!—Namaste’, Deb
