Vinyasa Basics 12.28.09

When I was out of town I took class everyday. Coming back to Lulu's feels like coming home and teaching here is the greatest gift of the holiday season.

I was into backbends and heart openers today. It was easy this morning in my yoga home; I'm finding less and less the need to protect my heart.

I think external rotation of the hips would feel good after these sequences; didn't have enough time. Also wanted to play with a wall bridge I learned on the road. 

I vote for 2 hour yoga classes!
