All parts connected: strengthening the heart as our guide into unity and freedom | Will Doran

This asana class will focus on moving the students into a deep connection to their heart as a way of merging with the bigger Heart of the Divine. It will take the students on a journey of experiencing the unchanging nature of ultimate reality of love expressed in our poses, and life in general. It will move from a grounding meditation through warm-up poses into expressions of the heart through strength and flexibility. Asana will focus on opening the upper body for backbends while not compromising steadiness and ease. We will explore how we are multi-faceted beings with vulnerabilities and limitations, and yet, with awareness, we can use alignment to move beyond them to deepen our connection to the experience of unconditional freedom (Svatantrya).
