Ashtanga 07/11/2020: Cultivating Acceptance

Style: Ashtanga
Length: 90 minutes
Focus: Ashtanga primary series talk-through
Props: Block and belt
Date Recorded: 07/11/2020
In this session we flow through the traditional ashtanga primary series sequence including 5 x sun salutation A / 3 x sun salutation B; standing postures and the vast majority of seated and finishing postures. Setting the intention to cultivate acceptance for what unfolds, just as it is. Affirming that there is no need to achieve or perfect; the discipline of this practise is to simply show up and stay open to what unfolds. Allowing the sequence to offer the opportunity of self-enquiry so we can accept ourselves, just as we are. Knowing that's it's still ok to have goals and to use our practise for self-improvement; but this motivation comes from a place of compassion and self-love, that any changes we aspire to make are to enrich us and bring us joy, not from a belief we are not deficient or lacking x
