    Reveal Your Magnificent Self Flow Flow Yoga

    A slow flow class that opens the shoulders and side body takes you through dancing warriors, breath of joy, handstand hops, and backbends from the ground to strengthen the back body. This class opens with a poem by Hafiz and a mantra for peace. A great option for practitioners who want to move a little to release static energy and create space through a gentle flow and deep breath. Style: Slow Flow Duration: 40-minutes Level: open  Props: 1 block Focus: full-body, shoulder opening, back strengthening. Location: Vancouver, BC Music: Your Magnificent Self Spotify Playlist Poem from class: They Call to You to Sing by Hafiz Stones are longing for what you know. If they had the graceful movements Of your feet and tongue, They would not stop laughing Between their ecstatic dance steps and unbroken praise. Your heart beats inside a sacred drum, Its skin is tanned and stretched— Our skin is alive and stretched— With the wild molecules of [our] Wondrous Existence. Your mind and eyes are an immense silk cloth Upon which all your thoughts and movements paint. Your soul once sat on an easel on my knee. For ages I have been sketching you With myriad shapes of sound and light; Now awake, dear pilgrim, With your thousand swaying arms That need to caress the Sky. Now awake with your love for the Friend and Creation, Help this Old Tavern Sweeper, Hafiz, To celebrate. No more enemies from this golden view— All who have entered this holy mountain cave Have dropped their shields and swords. We all cook together around a fire Our yearning music builds. We share our tools and instruments and plates; We are companions on this earth As the sun and planets are in the sky. We are all sentries at our sacred humble posts. The stones and stars envy the movements Of your legs and tongue And call to you to sing on their behalf. The atoms in your cells and limbs are full of wonderful talents; They dance in the Hidden Choir [we] conduct. Don’t sleep tonight, dear pilgrim, So I can lead you on my white mare to [the] Summer House. This love you now have for the Truth Will never forsake you. Your joys and sufferings on this arduous path Are lifting your worn veil like a rising stage curtain And will surely reveal your Magnificent Self So that you can guide this world… In the Hidden Choir [Of the Divine] and [their] friends will forever Conduct.

    Do It Fully Vinyasa Yoga Class

    A smooth, full-body vinyasa with leg balancing, twists, core and hamstring strengthening, and supported backbends to close. This class opens with a quote from Paths to God by Ram Das   A great class for those who spend long periods sitting, this class strengthens and releases tension in the psoas (hip flexors).  Style: Vinyasa Duration: 41-minutes Level: open Props: 2 blocks Focus: leg balancing, hamstrings, core, twists, shoulders.   Location: Vancouver, BC Music: Do It Fully Spotify Playlist "Once you've decided as best as you can [on what you're going to do], you act, keeping in mind that you are not the actor. While you're acting, you don't second guess yourself; you don't waste your time wondering whether you made the right decision. You're done deciding--now you're acting: Be present with your actions. After you've finished, if you want to, you can sit back and reflect and say, "Was that the right choice?" That's different. But while you're doing it, do it fully. When you're making tea, make tea. When you're brushing your teeth, brush your teeth. When you're making love, make love. Big acts, small acts, whatever it is, be fully there with it. Stop ruining things for yourself with that self-conscious, judgmental holding back." Ram Das, Paths to God For more yoga classes with Clara Roberts-Oss, join Practice with Clara Virtual Yoga Studio - start your free trial today!
