Shiva Shakti

Duration:

57 mins

A calming graceful sequence with strength and power!

Join Lalita as you explore the male and female within you - Shiva Shakti. These two forces are in constant flux inside us and in this class we learn a sequence of movements to help us harness their incredible power within us. This class incudes warriors, vertical alignment and heart opening arm movements.

Yoga class contents
	Activation Start your programme with body tapping known as a “Do-in”, followed by “breath of Arjuna” and gastrocnemius (calf muscle) stretching to warm and prepare your body.
	Shiva Shakti Sequence The Shiva Shakti sequence begins with flowing side bend to forward bend movements to help release any stagnant energy.
	... Flow into warrior 2 pose to unleash vibrant energy and willpower.
	... Rhythmic twisting with arm movements that open the heart in all directions, allowing stillness and joy to arise.
	Relaxation A relaxation including mudras that anchor the powerful creative energy generated in this sequence into the heart.

Thank you so much Lalita! This is one of my favorite sequence, gentle on one hand, but so power full and such a strong hart awakening movement! Thanks again for sharing your wisdom. Greets Raphaelle

A beautiful class that I really enjoyed, BUT the music accompanying the relaxation was so inappropriate, I felt like I should be doing a belly dance not relaxing!!

Hi Jane Thanks for your comment. So great that you enjoyed the class. Sorry to hear that the music for relaxation didn't work for you. Its often a very delicate juggling act to find the right piece that works well for everyone. Now that you know that this doesn't work for you can switch to anothe rrelaxation at this point or guide yourself using your favourite soothing music - or none - if you prefer. Padma

I enjoyed the class, but it was only at the end that it was suggested that it is best done in the morning as you may have trouble getting to sleep. Please put this in the notes as I would have chosen a different one on that basis.

Lalita this is SUCH a beautiful sequence. I watched it many times to get into the flow of it and now it's part of my daily routine. I LOVE the heart focus & sometimes just go around and around and don't want to stop. Thank you Lalita for sharing your love, your joy and your wisdom.
