Opening Meditation & Thoughts to Begin Class

Maybe you notice that you feel a little lighter? Let’s continue through our practice today to bring release and lightness to heart, mind & body.

Meditation for Shavasana
Close the eyes or soften the gaze and allow the full weight of your body to sink into the mat. As your muscles release maybe your heart feels a little bit lighter. Maybe you have more space to breathe. Feel the beauty of just resting and breathing. Any thought, sensation or emotion that comes in that doesn’t feel light, let it go with your next exhale. Let your body rest here in tranquility.
