In the past couple of months I've had the opportunity to travel to
Vancouver to visit and was blessed with seeing the most amazing
blossoms (in the midst of rainfall) - cherry and magnolia (see in pic).
Please take in the fullness (Purna) and perfection these blossoms
radiate knowing that this too can come from within you especially after
churning and opening your body with twists.


When spring comes around its a wonderful time to cleanse and create
space for new opportunities as we transition into our fullest
expression. With our busy lives we forget to look up to take in beauty
around us or even look into ourselves to recognize it dwells there as
well. When we are pulled in to many directions we tend to loose our
footing if we are not grounded - this is like doing twists. From a
steady base there is the opportunity to ground down, hug in then churn
and move things around a bit to enjoy the unexpected on and off the mat.


What I love about twists is that they are subtle and powerful,
neutralizing and cleansing as they do their work. In twists we are
breathing more into one lung and when we come out our organs are
flushed with new blood - the power of healing with yoga.


See if you can do this practice 2 -3 times this week and discover
the opening your body will have along with the tapping into your core
or power. Also, you can be creative and do this with another 30 min
practice skip savasana and do backbend sequence or arm balances if you
desire a one hour practice.
