Beloveds,
SO happy to be here together. Thank you (always & forever) for sharing your practice. This episode features a 75 minute class I taught as part of Happy Mindful People's Chakra-Balancing Series. This class focuses on the Manipura Chakra. It is a little spicy! I hope you enjoy it.
A little about Chakras
Chakras (ch sounds like the ch in cherry, not sh) are part of the subtle body anatomy. Chakra means wheel in Sanskrit and refers to energy wheels or vortexes in the body along the length of the spine or central channel (sushumna in Sanskrit). The idea is that when the chakras are spinning like they ought to, we are flowing in all aspects, the central channel is clear and we may experience the serpent of kundalini rising up that channel. (See, this is the super- nutshell version. For a more thorough introduction read this.)
Manipura chakra, "city of jewels" in Sanskrit, corresponds in the physical bod with the solar plexus. This chakra relates to our sense of self, the truth we know in our gut, or true heart. If we are out of balance here, we equate our self with the duties, jobs and roles we play in our physical lives. Manipura invites us to see the self as the light, love and aliveness beyond those limited roles. When we align with the LOVE that is at our core, we realize the power of manipura.
This chakra is associated with the sense of sight, the element of fire, the Ram and (conveniently for our memory), the sound of RAM (pronounced ruhm).

Sweet loves,
It is so good to be with you here. I had an AMAZING trip to California last week and cannot wait to share the yoga videos I made there for Yoga Anytime with you.
Today's class is an open-level hatha yoga class focusing on this wonder-filled waning moon time we find ourselves in at present. We call on our capacity to appreciate potential, mystery, darkness and our rebellious spirit in this class. It was a lot of fun to teach and I hope you feel the LOVE of this community of practitioners.
Thank you SO MUCH for sharing your practice here. I appreciate you. Where-ever you are in space and time, I love you for just being here.
Jai Mystery Moon!

Sweet friends,
I am so glad you are here to practice together on Samadhi Rush. Today's class is a full-length gentle hatha class recorded LIVE at my Saturday morning class at The People's Yoga here in Portland.
Today's class was inspired by my LOVE of the Amazon Original show Transparent. (It is so good. And it just won some Golden Globes.) We begin class with a deep, heart-felt conversation about the desire to be seen and the challenge of seeing each other through our own thoughts. Such wisdom in community. So grateful for the sharing of this class. So grateful for you for being here.
Attention follows our interest.

Hello Sweetest One,
Welcome to Episode 127: a truly gentle yoga class that is SO near and dear to my heart. We talk about the book A Little Princess, By Frances Hodgson Burnett. The nectar of this story is that no matter what happens to us, no matter how circumstances change, we can choose how to feel and how to act. We can be a princess no matter what. (Princess in this book means more about kindness, generosity and ease than any of the cultural references we might currently associate with being a princess.)
SO happy to be here with you.
