Sweet Vinyasa: Asmita, Attachments, and Freedom: 9.24.12

Attachments get a bad wrap. As Ravi Ravindra has said, Asmita is a good servant, but a terrible master. We played in the realm of feeling asmita and used movement, breath, and mantra to make our way to freedom, just on the other side!

Some of the physical landmarks were the feet (motor organ of the will), the hands (motor organ of the heart), the manipura, and the anahata.
