Leftfield Yoga Studio

Yay, inaugural Beginners Hatha Yoga at is done! Thanks to those who came in, took part & gave yoga a try. Today's focus was on what makes Hatha yoga, introducing breathwork, movement and meditation. Asana focus throughout this course will weekly consider the different energy centres of the body referred to in Sanskrit as Chakras.
Today's focus was on the root chakra. Next week we will be revisiting some of the asanas we covered today when we explore the sacral chakra plus an intro to the Yoga Sutra and the practising of Namas and Niyamas (ethics and personal self care). Next week - Ahimsa: non-violence and compassion to self and others in thought, word and deed, and Sauca: Cleanliness of thought, word & mind. These yoga sutras (lessons) facilitate contemplation of how every one of us has agency and power to create the world we would like from the energy we put out into the world: the stories we tell ourselves and others about the world & what is possible (hint: the possibilities are endless 🙂🤘)
