Sweet Namaskar!

My parents were in one of my classes a few weeks ago, it was great to have them both there. A very happy and enjoyable experience for me, and very special too. The class focused on breathing, in particular Anuloma Viloma, and on an introduction to Uddiyana bandha and Surya Namaskar. They happened to be going to Mexico this past week, on the ocean, and as their week unfolded they found themselves on the beach, looking to the sun doing sun salutations together, all while bringing attention to Uddiyana bandha. My mom was so cute in telling me the story, and the joy that they shared was so evident. I am so thankful to share in their trip, and their experience, in this small way.

From my mom..."It was special doing the Surya Namaskar in such a beautiful place. It was fun feeling free to do it together on the edge of the shore. While walking, your father would get silly holding his bandhas—being stiff and upright, only moving his legs. But he could really see how it made a difference in his posture and his balance."
