Loving Yourself

About This Class

This class is a richly layered, spiritually infused flow that blends physical asana with meditation, mantra (Om, Gate Gate), mudra, pranayama, and Reiki energy healing into a seamless, contemplative experience. Opening in Savasana and moving through gentle core work, the practice builds through standing Vinyasa sequences — including Warrior One, Warrior Two, Reverse Warrior, Half Moon (Ardha Chandrasana), Crescent, Prayer Twist, Eagle (Garudasana), Tree (Vrksasana), and Side Plank — before descending into deep hip openers like Pigeon Pose and Butterfly. Throughout, the instructor weaves philosophical teachings on meditation as the heart of yoga, the reticular activating system and vision-setting, and the importance of self-compassion. Long holds in hip openers and forward folds invite emotional release, while seated twists, supine spinal twists, and a closing meditation bring the practice to a grounded, restorative close. Ideal for practitioners seeking to reconnect with themselves, release stress and emotional tension stored in the hips, and cultivate mindful intention.
