Water is the source of life. It nurtures, cleanses, and renews. Our bodies, just like the Earth, are made
up of a significant amount of water. As we come to your mat today, draw inspiration from the fluidity of water, allowing it to guide your movements and refresh your spirits. Just as water ebbs and flows, so does life. Practice to connecting to the graceful, adaptable nature of water, flowing effortlessly from one posture to the next.
"Be like water. Soft enough to flow, strong enough to break stone." - Lao Tzu
Todays class is an all levels Vinyasa with a fluid creative flow. Transition between postures as water would- seamlessly, effortlessly with grace and purpose. Allow the poses to cascade into one another, reminding you of the continuous flow of rivers and streams.
Water does not force its way through obstacles. Instead, it finds the path of
least resistance. Allow your mind to emulate this quality, releasing any tension and seeking ease and flow in every posture.
Remember the words of Bruce Lee:
"Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless, like water. Now you put water in a cup, it becomes the cup; You put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle; You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.' Let us carry the fluidity and adaptability of water into every facet of our lives. "
Namaste.
