Open Heart, Open Mind: Teaching Yoga on the Grassy Knoll: Kihei, Hi: July 21: 2021

An open heart is an open mind—-Dalai Lama

There was nothing fancy or complicated with our practice today. Straightforward yoga. All yoga, bendy, twisty, fast or slow, makes an effort to align our head with our heart with greater awareness and clarity. Since everything starts from. within before any external alignment happens, the house suggestions were to allow our hearts to be inspired by our personal intentions and the great personal alignment of "here and now" .

Because "here and now", when you're really in it, is the place of joy.

Here's our sequence today:
