Purification Through Practice

32 mins

Participate in the process of saucha (self-purification) with this dynamic practice created to help restore a feeling of physical and energetic vibrancy. The practice includes standing postures, twists, backbends, jumping jacks, and a deep savasana. That’s right… jumping jacks. Don’t judge. The condition of your body directly affects your state of mind. Physical inertia, stagnancy and tension can suppress your mood and, over time, influence the way you think about yourself and the world around you.

Stoke your inner fire, known as tapas in the yogic tradition, through this energizing practice.

From here dive deeper in to several standing and kneeling postures, breath exercises, and then to the wall for the second half of your practice to engage in wall-supported poses to turn up the heat. Close with soothing floor based postures to cool and release the body. A blank supporting wall is needed for much of this practice.
