Here's the # 1 rule for today's class.... there are no rules! I want you to follow the cues that your body is giving you today and move in a way that feels supportive and intuitive. You wanna go right when I go left, do it! You wanna shake or shimmy when I twist or circle, beautiful! That's what somatic yoga is all about. Use these postures as a guide and don't take it too seriously. I felt amazing after this practice today and I know you will too! Time to get dancy!
I practiced with no mat on a slidy surface today. You can do all of it right on your living room carpet/rug or where ever but I would recommend NOT using a mat if you that's available. Have fun!
