Session Description:

.January is Kapha season in North America.  Kapha is the element of earth, combined with water.  When our kapha dosha is out of balance, earth/ water becomes mud, or tamas.
Kapha dosha rules the stomach/spleen, in Ayurveda (Indian medicine).
All of life slows down in the winter and water freezes.  Rain turns the earth to mud.
This asana class will focus on opening our stomach meridian, thawing the buildup from the winter.

Notes to Participants:

You will need two blocks, a strap, two blankets and a folding chair is wonderful to have on hand. This class is for students with a firm Iyengar foundation and ready to deepen their awareness. It is not an athletic practice, it is for those desiring to embody more of their subtle forms.
