"The goal of asana practice is to live in your body and to learn to perceive clearly through it. If you can master the Four Noble Acts...of sitting, standing, walking, and lying down with ease, you will have mastered the basics of living an embodied spiritual life" - Donna Farhi, Yoga Mind, Body, & Spirit
Part 1 - Sitting
This class kicks off a micro-series that explores the "Four Noble Acts" of functional movement. Explore how to release tight muscles in your trunk and hips to prepare for sitting, and learn what props your soma truly requires to sit well for extended periods of time. We conclude with a short seated meditation.
Props: chair (possibly 2 chairs, or a couch), strap, optional props to support ground sitting (stacked blankets, a block, or a foot stool)
