Working our glutes and quads in chair pose
Sharing mindfulness and allowing people to tap into their inner self is something I love to share through yoga.
community yoga classes are supposed to be fun and igniting
Today's class was really energizing thanks to everyone who came.
In my community, most people don't much know about yoga and some of them think yoga is religion and therefore it's a sin to practice.
Teaming up in dancer's pose
To get a larger group we needed to start small by encouraging and sharing with them
Then Community Class started with the children class, children are exciting and open to learning. I love being with the kids
kids class practising floor bow
We practised deep stretches, igniting poses, back stretches and lots of fun poses.
Adults came to join us in the kids class with lots of binding and bonding poses, we shared, we practised
Finding our balance in air plane pose
some of the them got to understand what yoga really is some groaned in pain to let out the stress they were feeling .
Some parents watched rather than practice.. Some were just teasing!
prayer twist
But,am grateful at the end everyone felt different and enlightened which is very important, they can now go home and share with friends and family .
A very caring sponsor got us water to refreshe ourselves after the class. We are so grateful!
Hopefully, we get to share with more people in the next community class.
Until then!
We closed with our yoga affirmation
"May we have thoughts of peace as we go through our days,
May we speak words of peace to all those we meet,
May we find love for all beings"
