The mind: Cultivating the mental qualities of discernment and attention. The body: Beginning with the upper body, chest and heart, the practice then weaves into Surya Namaskar with explorations of the upper back in downward dog and cobra pose. Sarahjoy then demonstrates an approach to cobra, seal, and upward dog (for those who want to rise into upward dog) and an exploration of anjaneyasana. The props: A rolled blanket, block, and strap. The pranayama: Inhale left nostril, exhale both; inhale right nostril, exhale both. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To support the continuation of access to these yoga classes for all, please donate at our website or FB page.
