✨ Open & Twist ✨
New practice recorded today, 10.28.2025
Breathing between the two poles of the body, we connect the silence at the crown and the silence at the base through the hollow channel at the center.
We begin by exploring new diagonal lines through the neck, rolling the shoulders, and rounding, arching, and twisting the spine. In variations of Baddha Konasana, we open the hips and massage the inner thighs, preparing the body to twist more deeply and rise to standing through a gentle squat.
Flowing through standing twists, we arrive in a twisted chair pose, grounding into the legs and lengthening through the spine. Standing cross-legged, we stretch the sides of the body and walk into a cross-legged downward-facing dog, landing softly into pigeon variations that invite space and breath into the hips.
Rising to standing through Padahastasana, we move between Warrior II, Skandasana, Tree Pose, and twisted balances — using the openness of the hips and the steadiness of the spine to flow smoothly through motion and stillness.
Before returning to the mat, Heart-to-Earth Pose lets us soften the upper back and release into the ground. On our backs, we lengthen the backs of the legs, in a gentle twist, then return to center. With palms resting on the body, we witness the movement of the breath — cultivating a quiet, lasting bubble of peace to surround us through the day.
