Style: Vinyasa Flow
Length: 60 minutes
Focus: Upper back and shoulders
Props:  Block and belt
Date Recorded: 23/07/2020
We will cultivate self-acceptance and gratitude as we flow through some shoulder and upper back stretches, acknowledging that there is an apparent paradox in our yoga practice. On the one-hand we are seeking to facilitate change e.g more strength, more flexibility, a greater sense of calm...but on the other hand we are working to accept and embrace our body and our personality - just as it is. We have to be careful not to create a never-ending to-do list of things to improve about ourselves and instead embrace our current position in life - just as it is. We can still seek change, but with integrity and an awareness of the motivation for this change. And all the while cultivating gratitude for everything we already have 🙂 x
