In this 1 hour intermediate hatha yoga class we will explore this often misunderstood concept of karma. What is karma? Karma simply means deed or action. When we speak of the laws of karma it simply means that every action leads to a reasonable effect or that everything that happens can be traced to something done in the past. In other words, our actions determine destiny and we reap what we sow. The problem with this law of cause and effect is that we can get stuck in seeking pleasure compulsively, tying ourselves tighter and tighter to worldly responsibilities and opportunities and forgetting our spiritual life altogether. The solution then, is to perform our work like Hanuman, without selfish attachment to the fruit of the outcome. You will need a Yoga Strap, blanket, bolster, chair, and blocks for this intermediate hatha yoga class. We will begin reclined in hand to big toe class to release your hamstrings. From there we will practice some balancing in quadruped. Plank pose will work your core. In standing we will practice chair pose, high lunge and warrior three. Rabbit pose will allow you to let go of outcome. We will finish with a seated twist, half lord of the fishes pose and a seated forward fold.
