Feel the Y O G A: Teaching Flow and Restore at 808 Wellness: Kihei, Maui, HI: November 15, 2019

Full morning moon is more my prime viewing time. “Ask for what you want and be prepared to get it”—Maya Angelou. All practices are here to prepare us for the Yoga.

The energy is thick and grounding. Maybe it's the Taurus full moon that arrived two days ago, maybe it's another week of a house crowded with furniture and a muddy backyard where once was a lush green yard. Pool building isn't for the faint of heart, especially when things are moving s l o w as molasses. Correction, slower.

Impatience will flat wear you out. It will ramp up your nervous system and make the world look like it's rotating the wrong way. It's a problem of not trusting the ritam, the divine order that is what's really going on but you just can't believe it.

The medicine has been to move slowly and as mindfully as possible. God is in the details, they say. It sure helps to put the brakes on; racing around trying to make things go faster isn’t working.

Why oh why can’t I learn this?

Next best thing is to make every day about trust and faith, mixed in with a sense of humor. So this is what consumes me and follows me into class..

I subbed three other classes this week. I didn't make the time to capture them but they were all snail pace slow and looked a lot like what we did in today's Flow and Restore.

Here's our sequence:

Sit-
Sankalpa mudra
Heart breath

Three way rock to supine

Supine padagustasana with twist
Savasana

Cat n cow with balance play and foot rocking
(some of the classes we did second heart calf accupressure play, I didn’t in the FNR class, though)

Low lunge salutes
Downdog

Tadasana
Three way block step with tree.

Tadasana
Lunge
Warrior I
Warrior II dance
Peaceful warrior

Health, Love, and Rock N Roll
