Taught a vigorous Hatha Flow class this morning in Novato.☀️🧘🏻♀️ We kicked off the session with pranayama—four distinct breathing exercises to center our focus—before firing up the core and saving plenty of time for a beautiful relaxation at the end.
The Aum (“OM”) 🕉️ poster on the wall reminds us of the deeper philosophy behind our movement. The distinct curves of the Aum symbol reflect the four states of consciousness we drift through:
🕉️ The Lower Curve – The Waking State (Vaishvanara)
🕉️ The Middle Curve – The Dreaming State (Taijasa)
🕉️ The Upper Curve – The Deep Sleep State (Prajna)
🕉️ The Dot & Crescent – The Pure Being / Absolute Consciousness (Turiya)
Yoga helps us align these different states of being, guiding us back to the ultimate meaning of Home—the pure peace within ourselves. ✨
Never underestimate what a regular practice can do for you:
🌿 Greater mobility and strength
🌿 Enhanced balance and alignment
🌿 Lowered stress and tension
🌿 Heightened focus and a clear mind
🌿 Better breath control and relaxation
🌿 Increased physical awareness and vitality
