Restorative 6.10.08

8 women showed up tonight, including 1 pregnant mama.
Felt like a powerful group of women. I ran with the flow of the energy in the room.

The sequence looked like this:

The ongoing theme has been the breath. Practice drawing the breath down towards the low belly, right below the navel. Bringing awareness to the subtle energies in the body.

Open with a seated meditation.

Supta baddha konasana with bolster and blankets under knees and head. 15min.

Slow transition, allowing for gentle movement, free form, reaching the arms over the head, stretching the legs toward the center of the room, ankle circles.

Side lying rest pose- about 5 min.

Supported pigeon- hip opener (both sides) 5 min.
length back of leg, draw heel toward the wall, elongate the spine.

Elevated twist on bolster with blanket between knees (both sides) 5 min.

All fours. cat/dog tilt. transition into supported childs pose with bolster.

Legs up the wall.

Sit
Namaste
