This Sunday, June 10th, I am teaching outdoors.  Beside practicing Pranayamas (Breathing Exercises) and Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutations), we will practice Warrior Poses.  

To Explore the “Warrior in Us”.  

Explore the WARRIOR in YOU.

These postures stretch and strengthen upper and lower body, as well as improve Balance.

But more importantly, they help discover Courage, Perseverance, and Self-empowerment.

They teach us to stand strong On and Off our mats.  Just as we strive to stand strong in the highest Truth of who we are, which in yoga philosophy is Peace, Love, Bliss, Divinity.   

In This particular ‘Reverse Warrior’ pose (Viparita Virabhadrasana), we gaze Upward, as if toward our Potential.  We also reach back for support.  We are thus, encouraged to call upon the Tools (meditation, self-inquiry, a regular hatha yoga practice, prayer) we need to navigate the Ego (which causes All our pain and suffering).

If you’re close to Aurora, Illinois June 10th, I hope to see you.
