May: Peacocks and Parrots

Peacock posing….

Eye of the Peacock!

SUGGESTIONS:
1. Display and camouflage! How do these factors play out in your life? In your yoga life?
2. What is the relationship between your interior and exterior being, and to Manipura Cakra?
3. This session we focused in yoga on our back bodies and our eyes. Can you continue exploring how simply being in your back body, and spreading your feathers and your “peacock eyes” impacts the way you move in the world?
4. Exploring the hands and the Mayurasana pose - Any luck?!!!

RESOURCES:
1. Great Green Macaw - 10mins Audio from the Animal Sense Maker - Interesting that this birds bright colors are not for show, they are protective so it can blend with the exotic verdancy at the top of the trees.
