“If you knew yourself for even one moment, if you could just glimpse your most beautiful face, maybe you wouldn’t slumber so deeply in that house of clay. Why not move into your house of joy and shine into every crevice! For you are the secret Treasure-bearer, and always have been. Didn’t you know?” -Rumi This weeks class is an Ocean Flow practice!! It is a bit fast paced, so feel free to pause the video and move at your own…
Yoga is practiced many different ways in many different places. This week, I thought I would switch it up on how the practice is delivered. The practice above is a beginner flow, designed to help one balance and ground. Flip your way through the poses, pausing, passing and modifying as necessary!

Being on a tight budget, but also having the desire to have something for everybody (that they would actually like) can be a bit of a challenge, to say the least.
