New Year's Day Yoga: Balancing

This is the replay for my NYD Class on 1/1/23.


Balancing on your hands or your feet means embodying the paradox of working with gravity to find levity, of pressing down to rise up. And if you don’t practice going upside down in quite this way, no worries — life will deliver this truth in other ways too �

Today we’ll mostly work with standing poses, to start the year with a firm yet supple foundation. This class is for all levels, and intermediate poses will be broken down, so you’ll get a taste of handstand if you want but it’s certainly not required. We’ll end class with balancing prāṇāyāma (breathwork) and an integrative rest in śavāsana to start the new year off with lightness, refreshment, and ease.
