Description: Welcome back to Five Parks Yoga’s online classes! Thank you to all who have reached out to me during this time. While I typically take a filming break while we are in CO for the summer, this break has been a little longer than usual. I appreciate all of you - my subscribers, supporters, and members - for your continued support and connection. No matter where you are in the world right now, the Coronavirus Pandemic has, no doubt, impacted your life on some level. Personally, we have been impacted in a number of ways. My husbands’ business has been impacted, as well as all three of my kids’ activities and school. The Costa Rica borders, (our second home where we film classes and host retreats), have been closed. We sent my oldest son off to college, crossing our fingers, that with the wildfires and pandemic, he would get to stay and succeed. We have two more kids dealing with online and hybrid school amidst new rules and new “norms.” If you are dealing with any or all of these changes or stressors, you are not alone. We are doing our best to adjust our mindset, expectations, and lifestyle. While we have not been able to film on our deck, because of the wildfires and smoke, we have decided to embrace our current situation and film indoors in our CO home living room space. While it challenges me to re-engage and step into a new “norm,” I just want to connect with all of you and let you know that I am here and I am invested in engaging with you via Youtube classes and future retreats. I hope you enjoy this “Let Go Yoga Flow” class. The focus of this class is to let go of tension in the body - via movement, to let go of stress - via breath, and to let go of negative thoughts via the mind. This class begins with a breathing exercise paired with Ganesha Mudra. If you are not comfortable with this hand placement, you can always rest your hands comfortably on your knees.  After you practice pranayama, this class moves into movement with a gentle warm-up, (at about the 7 minute mark). At the 13 min mark, we move into traditional sun salutations, which will lead you toward a standing vinyasa flow with standard postures - (warriors, high and low lunges, squats, chair pose, standing splits, chaturangas, and more). At the 35 min mark, indulge in deep stretches like wide-legged low lunge and crow squat (malasana). Enjoy a final energetic release with sunflowers and windmills before making your way toward your belly for shoulder stretches and then seated stretches for hips and hamstrings and leg lifts for your core. Your class will wrap up with happy baby, reclined twists, knees to chest, Savasana, and a quote from Rolf Gates, Meditations from the Mat. I hope you enjoy this very well rounded class that includes mind, body, and breath. Peace in your thoughts, peace in your words, peace in your heart.
