January: Restorative Yoga (& Sound) Class

Withdraw your senses, uncover your light, and let your mind become your best friend with this 'Sleepy Sunday' practice.

Dear Slow Members,

Today I woke up inspired to share with you a Sleepy Sunday relaxing yoga and sound experience. I hope you will gain as much from it as I did.

Inspired by a course I recently attended—Krishna & Christ—within the class I share some of the teachings I have found myself musing on in the past week. Namely:

Withdrawal of the Senses.
The mind as best friend or enemy.
Let Your Light Shine.

In this class you’ll enjoy:

• Two relaxing restorative poses (grab your bolsters, cushions and rolled blankets!), which you can do on your yoga mat, bed, or even your sofa.

• A short meditation accompanied by a couple of my Tibetan Singing Bowls.

• And I close practice by *singing a few rounds of the Gayatri Mantra accompanied by my harmonium.

*Please note, I don’t see myself as a singer! But I wanted to share this part of my personal practice with you as chanting can have such a profound and positive effect on our emotional self. If you feel inspired to join in, here are the words:

oṃ bhūr bhuvaḥ svaḥ
tát savitúr váreṇyaṃ
bhárgo devásya dhīmahi
dhíyo yó naḥ pracodáyāt
