Working With Blocks with Nikki at Maui Yoga Shala, Wailea, HI: May 25, 2017

Whenever I work with blocks I am always reminded on the kleshas: Avidya, Asmita, Raga, Dvesha, Abhhinivesha, and sutra 2.1 which roughly translates "yoga is for the removal of the kleshas".  Yoga is freedom from our blocks.

Its not that the blocks ever really go away, but I have had experience with diminishing their harm because I get to see them.

Lots of great poses with  blocks today and my favorite was half janushirsasana with two bricks and using the opposite tricept pressing on the block to open.

And my favorite was jumproping through our arms. If the hands are the motor organ of the heart, staying connected is the play, and hard to do when moving too fast, or perhaps at all.

Feeling more like Maui is home today and losening the grip on the klesha of asmita because I'm learning I do deserve to live my dreams, to live in Maui, to swim in the ocean and see magnificent sunset every day.
