Episode 21: Be Here Be Now Gentle Flow

Flow With Me Yoga - A podcast by Natalia Emery Hastings

This is a 60-minute Gentle Flow. The focus of this class is experiencing the practice as a place TO BE as opposed to another thing TO DO, something to mark off your list. My offering is a breath-filled practice. Sun Salutations A feature sphinx and forearm plank. Sun Salutations B progress through lunging poses that build on one another, offering more challenge with each round. Classic Vinyasa transitions are nowhere to be found here. Instead of relying on momentum or muscle memory, you are invited to be fully present in this practice as it unfolds one breath at a time. We gradually transition from open to closed twists, honoring both the length of the spine and the length of the breath. There is a slow-burning intensity in this flow, and as you hold in dolphin pose for the second time, you will surely feel it. This class is a true moving meditation: it invites you to be fully present. If you have been short in presence lately, come to your mat and let me take you on a journey into breath and into ‘just’ being. Enjoy!
