 Welcome to Module 2:

Namaste! Hope you enjoyed the first module and getting started with a daily yoga routine. In this module we will start to build on the foundation, creating more namaskars from the foundational asanas, and adding core work. Following the physical dimension is the mental, which these introductory pranayamas guide you to observe with more sensitivity and curiosity. Your next assigned reading is a good one- it explores the Niyamas, 5 important principles of a yogic lifestyle that really begin to deepen your sense of self. I put a LOT of content in this module, try to practice with 1 video each day after beginning this module, and then spend the rest of the time practicing these on your own!

Assignments:

For your daily sadhana, please practice:

 ~an opening meditation (remember this can simply be a few breaths of a movement meditation and intention setting)

 ~a warm up (on some days try one of the 2 namaskars taught in this module, and on other days continue to experiment with poses in the Foundational Asanas section and play with variations and pulsations)

~then add some of the core work exercises

 ~followed by any intuitive counterposes to integrate your sequence (counterposes will be discussed more in the next module!)

~and a closing segment (Shavasana and/or Nadi Shodhana)

Post a photo of yourself in your favorite core strengthener on our FB group!

After reading the Intro to the 8 Limbed Path of the Yoga Sutras, make a post on the FB group mentioning one of the limbs that stands out for you as something you want to dive into more deeply during this immersion, and reflect on why and how you intend to explore it. You are welcome to research it other places online and add to the definition of it.
