"We practice to nourish our hope — our hope for a more settled mind, a more stable breath, a more compassionate heart. Our practice feeds our hope, and our hope feeds our practice. In fact, our practice is hope in action." Judith Hanson Lasater

What does embodied hope look like? Is life weighing you down or are you walking with your head high and with an open heart full of hope. This practice incorporates nourishing backbends like sphinx, floor blow and even an opportunity to cultivate Ardha Chandra Chapasana (half-moon bow pose). Backbends energize and help us counter and strengthen our modern and chronic postural patterns. You can take this slow or customize with vinyasa transitions to build heat.

Very basic easy back bend flow with wonderful message of hope. Nice stretching not particularly challenging.

I really enjoyed this class. A good variety and fairly powerful poses as well as the lovely passage about hope. Will definitely be doing this one again. I didn t find the back bends so strong and also thought the warm up adequate but my back is fairly strong.

Lovely flow. It started off slow, but it soon became "flowy". And it left me with lots of energy. My only suggestion would be to mention that this is a flow that is better to do early in the day than at night in the beginning, and not at the end of class.
