Open-sky yoga at Lincoln Park will take place 6:45 to 7:45 on Wednesday mornings starting June 22. Hope to see you on the mat!    

Fourteen yogis gathered in a muddy Lincoln Park to align the spine and express gratitude. We treated the spine as one unit – being mindful of the movements of the neck in relation to the rest of the back. And we expressed gratitude for our practice (in its eighth week) together. Namaste.

In Friday’s class we talked about the importance of giving ourselves space – observing rather than reacting  and judging. A dozen of us expressed this notion through heart openers and back bends – allowing ourselves to be vulnerable and brave at the same time. Namasté.

Last week we had 19 adult yoginis and five teeny yogis twisting in utkatasana and lengthening in peaceful warrior while surrounded by traffic noise and ten-year old soccer players (turned out part of Watkins had moved their field-day to Lincoln Park!). It was an awesome sight. Talk about concentration.
