Merry And Bright: Teaching Gentle Yoga: Wailea Yoga Shala: Wailea, Hi: December 24, 2017

Mele Kalikimaka from Maui.

Its Christmas Eve Day and the island is busy with the holiday tourists arriving. Maui is even more joyous than usual. This class was built around tree pose, and happiness and a celebration of light as the solstice was just  a few days ago. We played with the Rig Veda alignment of satyam, ritam, and joytir, and worked with a general easy all over stretch to bring us to a place of "merry and bright".
