Vinyasa Basics: The Feeling tone of Love. 12.6.11

Felt like I went on a huge limb to even attempt to touch the feeling tone of love. But in my personal practice lately, particularly playing in pratyahara, the feeling, sounding, tasting, smelling, and seeing word that keeps coming to me is love.

I was in the such a zone that the standing sequences took us to the end of class. Used the unusual transition to savasana to liken the busy mind to the quiet mind, which is the place the yogis suggest we have a deeper opportunity to touch the feeling tone of love.

Used waterfall pose and Rumi's quote "Love is the water of life" to set the stage, and 'Aham Brahma', asmita, sutra 1.2, and the elements of earth, fire, water, and air as talking points.
