Meditation, Music and Asanas music infused in any setting creates a deep connection from the outside-in it is not a way to hide or escape but rather connect and dance with your soul. (Nadam, inner sound) I am pleased to offer this new page as many beautiful souls have asked what was played in class. January Playlist "108 > 2008" most of these are available on i-Tunes One-Tina Dico Lokah Samastah Sukino Bhavantu-Sean Johnson and the wild lotus band Hey Amba-Tina Malia and Shimshai Alive (mantra) - Dingding Sa Elephant (featuring lottie child)-Sprial System, Havafen Fushi Numu-Issa Bagayogo The Preacher and Sunset - Nitin Sawhney A Perfect Rain-Anoushka Shankar and Karsh Kale Naked-Anoushka Shankar You Learn- Alanis Morissette Hidden Treasure-Traffic Bhaja Govindam-Dave Stringer Lotus Kiss-Alex Theory We'll Meet Along the Way-Hem & Funnel Cloud I hope this inspires dance with your soul. ASANSAS (our seat) you may see some laughing lotus inspired yoga asanas thanks to santa he sent me an inspiring poster with lots of playful poses, how i weave them, will that depend what day and the people who attend class. prepare for sponteniety flow, focus and balance and laughter.... our sutra of the class is openness , acceptance and giving .. some asanas have creative names (thats means you may have never heard of them) but are really to honor very ancient postures. Dancing Shiva may be called Dancing Goddess. Side Plank with a variation will be called sparkler... it will be all about your attitude towards these poses and yourself... be prepared to set intentions, smile and open to grace. "think of your yoga mat as a squishy play surface you might find at any playground where children play" dana flynn of laughing lotus ....

BREATHING MANTRA MEDITATION
Inviting in Openness I start my practice with these mantras. Feel free to find words authentic to you.
Inhaling, I breathe in this moment,
Exhaling, I breath out everything that is not of the moment.
Inhaling, I am here, in my body, in the present,
Exhaling, I let go of anything that is not of this moment.
Inhaling, I breath in spaciousness,
Exhaling, I breath out solidity, rigidity.
Inhaling, I breath in possibility,
Exhaling, I breath out expectation.
Inhaling, I Breath in the beginners mind, the unknown,
Exhaling, I breath out limitations; what I think I know
