Have you ever noticed in a yoga class that if you look around, it’s much easier to lose your balance?
Have you ever compared yourself to another person in class or felt the need to move at the same pace as the person next to you?
Our minds are so easily distracted by our eyes, so yes, where your eyes go your mind goes! But what happens if you take away your sense of vision? In Yoga, the withdrawal of the senses is called Pratayahara – meaning in part to bring your focus inward to your true nature and not follow every sensory input.
To achieve this wonderful state of Pratayahara, this 90-minute specialty class will use comfortable blindfolds to make the withdrawal of distractions a little easier. Together we will move slowly through poses that invite us to tune in to our True Nature and just ... Be.
Samantha will provide a blindfold, help you tune in, feel present, safe, and grounded, and guide you through a slow-flowing practice. Moving with your breath and allowing your practice to become a deeply meditative state of awareness: awareness of all the sensations as you move, awareness of the present moment, awareness of you as the observer, awareness of ... Your True Nature.
If you have never tried blindfolded yoga, you will be surprised how much it can expand your senses, learn to trust your body, and bring into focus the intentionality of your yoga practice!
