Summary

Join Christen for more vinyasa yoga classes, here: https://bit.ly/2MnUs0j

Our bodies follow our minds. AND our minds follow our bodies. When we feel down or think discouraging thoughts, our posture follows suit. Sometimes it is tricky to change the mind, so our practice can redirect the mind. Change the body, change the mind and even our relationships, community, and the world.

This FREE simple flow with our heads up and our hearts strong/forward, will gently teach the mind that there is a lot to "look forward to."

No chatarungas, no complicated transitions. Just simple breath and movement with clear intention.
