The pace at which we practice yoga asana creates the framework for how we feel and connect to the moment just as much as the poses we choose to move through. In this episode Carling and Patrick chat about their journey's into various forms of yoga and how their practices have evolved over time.

While there are many optimal ways to live life some of them can feel very unpractical or unattainable.

Welcome to a new month on Commune Online! Here we are rolling right into spring with a focus on moving new energies into our practice. The sun is shining, birds are chirping, and it’s time to start defrosting from the winter chill. This month, we’re shifting our focus to the inner needs of clearing our new space and starting fresh. It’s time for a little SPRING CLEANING 🐣If our practice and our inner landscape is to be our home, our hope is to make it a place we want to live. To have enough space, nourishment, fresh air, and comfort that there is no where else we’d rather be.but, carving out enough space? Sweeping the dusty corners? clearing the cobwebs? putting fresh food in the fridge? wiping down the windows to let the sun shine in? THATS THE WORK.So this month will be multifaceted, largely living in the YOGA realm (especially compared to last month!) classes will offer cleansing breathwork & kriya, sweeping perspective shifting inversions, vinyasa challenges that ask you search for presence, fresh flows to let in new light, and soft landings to put your feet up (literally & figuratively) to rest after a satisfying deep clean.Join us today : http://www.communeyogastudio.com
