Get Fired Up With A Mandala Flow

Mandala yoga is a great way to aid meditation, and when we practice a Mandala Vinyasa Flow sequence, we make a circle or travel 360 degrees around the mat through a four part sequence. The sequencing may have a single focus, such as opening the hips, or combine multiple areas of focus. Today's practice will focus on twisting. 

It's great to loosen up the back, reduce pain, build strength and lose weight.

Tripsichore Inspired Mandala Yoga

Today's mandala power yoga flow is inspired by a recent Tripsichore training I did with Edward Clark.

Taking the idea of one breath per movement, I created an opening flow that targets the hamstrings. With every inhale you grow and lengthen and with the exhale you fold a little deeper. This continuous movement that flows from the origin (or root) of the spine to the tips of the fingers and toes, both grounds and energizes you.It's a great group of guys, pretty sure they all think I'm a little crazy, but I love it! Last night I took them through a modified version of this week's Water Mandala power yoga flow.
