Sweet Vinyasa: Inviting Grace: Wednesday, December 11, 2013

For inner peace Buddha suggests mindfulness in the body. Patanjali recommends quieting the mind. These practices can be hard to do when a lot is happening in the life. Next door, for most of the class we had a bulldozer plowing. It was a perfect opportunity to deepen our practice.

We also experimented chin mudra and how considered how friendliness (maitri) might be a useful alignment for holding our heart to prepare, best we can, for the flow of grace.
