Sweet Vinyasa: Of the Earth and the Heavens: Wednesday, July 24, 2013

The Rig Veda tells us we are "children of both the Earth and the Heavens". One significant feature of the mantra is a reminder to do our work here and now in this life. Its easy to get caught up in thinking what it should look like in this life, and key, according to the sages, is to widen your perception. This is harder than it sounds because it requires we drop into the unknown.

We were playing towards Hanumanasana and the spirit of devotion to the quiet within, but we didn't make it to the full splits because the temperature wasn't correct.
