THE WATER PRACTICE

28 MIN

PROPS NEEDED: a comfortable place to be still for time (we suggest your bed), blanket and pillow

Water holds an important role in yoga philosophy. We hear the word ‘wave’ as a description for both our breath (the waves of your breath) and for how our thoughts move (the waves of the mind.) The motion of water is depicted as subtle and sublime. One doesn’t fight a wave, but rather watches it, or rides it.. or a little of both, depending on your persuasion. In this practice, you'll explore water in both ways: watching the water-like nature of your being, as you scan the body and breath. But also, allowing your awareness to be like water… somewhat meandering, unconcerned with the path you’re taking… moving for the sake of moving.
