LEAPS OF FAITH - PART I
Teacher Seán Johnson
PROPS: None
LEVEL: Advanced
LENGTH: 1 hour, 36 minutes
STYLE: Power Yoga
DESCRIPTION:
Sean begins this class by telling an abbreviated version of the great Indian epic The Ramayana, paying particular attention to a hero from this story- the great monkey and 'servant of the heart' Hanuman, whose heroic feat is an incredible leap of faith. Sean explains how this story, and particularly Hanuman's leap, reflects our own spiritual journey and can inspire and bring more life to our yoga practice. With this story in our hearts, a dynamic practice begins. You'll be invited to jump playfully on your mat, like Hanuman, making some leaps of faith. You'll be led through a juicy series of standing salutations, hip openers, arm balances, and then an extended series of progressively deeper backbends to flood your heart with aliveness. Poses include downward dog, three-legged dog, lunges, warriors one and two, shoulder stretches, squat, crow, boat, cobra, bow, upward dog, camel, bridge, wheel, plow, shoulderstand, fish, and more. The class finishes with a series of delicious pranayama (deep breathing) practices to flood your being in peace; a powerful guided chant "Ram," accompanied by Sean's harmonium that awakens tremendous energy in the heart; and a guided relaxation and meditation period to soothe your soul. (Coming soon-- Leaps of Faith!-- Part II-- where Sean will share more fun leaping transitions.)
