Shiva Rea Advanced Teacher Training Day 2 – part 1
Fortunately, this day started to bring the Shiva practice techniques all together. There were no light outages, I slept, and was ready to start pedaling to the studio at 6am this morning.
We began the practice with 12 minutes of meditation. The goal is to get to 30 minutes. My meditation started with peace for the first, about 5 minutes. But then my hips started to get sore, and I lost my focus. That was where I was today. More tomorrow. Meditation is a practice, and for me it may take the rest of my life.
This morning’s yoga practice was a series of mini-vinyasas, and full vinyases. The Shiva flow is coming together, with the three-part vinyasa technique. Part one: Pulsation Vinyasa – guided or coupled by breath; Part two: Body Vinyasa – using the limbs, torso, legs, and the body to guide the body to it’s proper alignment and awaken prana, Part three: Rhythmic Vinyasa – the art of connecting two or more related asanas in a continuous flow to cultivate the circulation of prana.
All this, is the beauty of Shiva Rae. Yoga becomes a beautiful dance sequence.
This afternoon brought more beauty. Instead of a book, she gave us the tools and guidance to develop our own mini-vinyasas and vinyasa series of our own.
