Celebrating Being Together: what needs to move through you?

Length: 90 mins

Teacher: Toni Cupal

Approaching the end of an era, Toni teaches her second to last online class before transitioning it to Yoga of Los Altos. While the cliche is true — change is the only thing that doesn’t change — more specifically, how do we be human (embracing ourselves as ourselves) as we experience change? This is fundamental to healing. Following the usual warm-up, practice steadying yourself with some creative balances before getting into our classic flow. What do you need to let go of as you move? Letting go of the familiar is scary yet it’s how to allow for the new to enter. This too is fundamental to healing. After a fun floor sequence in upavistha konasana, practice contract and relax breathing with the Coregous Ball on your naval. Can you invite it in as you soften? Emotions get stuck here. Where are you bracing? Use the ball to let go more. Take the ball to the breastbone. Where are you holding? How slow can you breathe? Conclude in savasana and receive.
