Tonight I attended my very first jivumukti class with NYC based Anna Carbonell.
And OH MY GOD did I love it!
I love how it flowed so fast. I'm so happy I did hot vinyasa first because otherwise I'd totally get lost in class!
We chanted in class. Hell we even sang! Well, only on the first part of the class. It was so relaxing!
But what I loved the most about it are the poses: I feel like it's advanced class on a faster pace.
And dig this:
We were asked to go on the full side plank (both legs extended).
Next, we were asked to do tree pose while on side plank.
Then, we held our big toe on the bent leg, extended the leg up in the air, moved that leg in front of our bodies....
.... and then land in a split!
BAAAAM!
I was so happy I actually nailed it! 1 of the 3 in class who actually did and the other 2 were yoga instructors! YAHOOOO!!!! I was so happy!
It's by far the most relaxing yoga class I've ever had. To think I had done laps in our pool then an intense plana forma class before that. I wasn't tired, I wasn't hungry nor was I weak. I'm just so happy I nailed it!!!
I love variety. I love challenging myself to do things I never thought I could do. And I'm really blessed that I could try different kinds of yoga practice to satisfy my craving for challenge.
Beyond that, I learned more about meditation. I learned cleansing breath, I learned how to meditate in order to let go of bad thoughts. It all seems like bullshit to a lot of people, but like I say all the time, don't knock it till you've tried it.
Weeeeeeh!!!! Can't wait for October when Anna comes back!!!! =D
Namaste.
