Podcast #11 - Samskara (Pattern/Imprint) Level 1/2 Class


Listen Later

Happy New Year! With 06 behind us and

now 007 in front of us we are standing facing the unknown. We take what
we know (our habits, fears, loves, patterns) into the new year hoping
to do things better or differently. Samskara's are patterns/imprints that you are born with, impressions you created and show up like groves in a record playing again and again. It's up to us to step into the yoga and make better choices through contrast while we apply our willingness to be better on our mats and off the mats. We explore how we move and take ourselves out of the comfort zone to the unknown creating the known in a new way.

arch of the foot and moves up the leg taking the thighs back and
widening them. Third component is broadening which makes more space.
