Goddess Time
Friday the 13th at Red Pearl Yoga. Making new friends, Henna, and bellydancing. Very empowering. Sunday , back to Red Pearl for a restorative "Relax and Renew" class with Lisa and Joy. I was curious how teachers not trained in Iyengar Yoga could teach such a class. They were very sweet, if they get more Iyengar training their class will be fantastic. I could do without the poetry, while I'm trying to tune in to the soothing relaxing music. Loved the scalp and foot massage. (I just didn't want her to stop once she touched my feet.) I think their idea is great for beginners who need to learn to relax. For me, practicing Ujjayi in a semi-supported Setu Bandha Sarvangasana didn't work. I really got stressed when my forehead and right eye started burning from some orange aromatherapy something. When restorative yoga is combined with other stuff such as aromatherapy, poetry reading and pranayama, each element becomes diluted. I feel refreshed after my morning pranaya
