Uplift the Heart

Opening Meditation & Thoughts to Begin Class

Let’s become fully present in this room…..on your mat…..connected to you. Pratyahara, the withdraw of senses, the withdrawal of external stimuli, and the turn inward. With your eyes closed, use your senses to explore the the room around you. And then the space of your sanctuary on your mat. Now tuning in to the breath and to you. Feel the breath moving through you….. Bring your awareness to the lift of your heart with your inhale….. Let’s connect to this energy as we move today. Letting our practice lift our hearts with calm, beautiful energy.

Meditation for Savasana

Let your head settle on your mat. Release the weight of your arms and legs. Let the rhythm of your breath rock and soothe you. (pause) Let your dristi move inward. Bask in the experience you have created for yourself today. Let it flow over you, through you and from you. Allow it to heal, revive and rejuvenate…..
