Greetings from YFL, and Happy Halloween!!! This is BONUS WEEK at the studio, as it is the 5th week of the month!!! That equates to voting for what type of practice you want at each class that you attend!!! Here are your choices: Restorative, Yin, or Sukha-Stirrha!!! Our Sanskrit focus is ‘SUKHA’, or the ‘Good Space’ in life. Our mudra (hand gesture) is the ‘RELAX MUDRA’. Let energy flow, and remain soft into that flow of energy. Our meditation focus is ‘BE KIND’, and may be contemplated while listening to ‘Kiran Murti’s’ ‘Sweet Indian Dream’.

This week’s Yin practice will focus on hip opening, or ‘Happy Hips’ week. We will use props, breath, and hold to increase the effect of the posture in stretching our connective tissues (fascia, tendons, ligaments), as well as our muscles.
