This episode was recorded without a class present. It is a slow paced and grounding practice. There are instances of flow and physical challenge. I thought I would end up shortening the class, but the opposite happened. Make some time, makes some space, light a candle, bath yourself in essential oil, take care, and Enjoy!

There was a concept behind this practice that didn't come together the way I had expected. I don't think this devalues the class, because I believe that every practice is a journey that relies on an openness to discovery. Come along on this journey and enjoy! 1 strap, 2 blocks, 1 blanket.
