Movement as Meditation
This delicious and deliberate class with Guy uses a classical approach to dissipating physical and mental agitation and lethargy so that you can rest in clarity during meditation. It starts with a full-spectrum physical practice, followed by an extended savasana, and then into a breath practice and a final meditation. This is a great way to use your own body and breath to calm and center yourself, while fully experiencing the meditative shift from “doing” to “being”.
This can either be done as a stand-alone class or as Day 6 of Grounding and Strength 14-Day Beginner Yoga Challenge.

Wonderful class. I'll definitely be revisiting this one. Thank you Guy.
Don't ya wish the whole world would just do this class? I sure do. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
For me, a great class. It helps me to work explicitly with agitation and "get it out." Is this the only class that does this? It is helpful for preparing me for a more calm and centered state. I find these stages extremely helpful. I like the "powerful yogi" stuff!
That was a really great comprehensive yoga lesson. It's very interesting doing the 14 day challenge because you have no idea what your coming to each day(Idon't spend time reading or looking ahead-just go for it). I was so surprised with yesterdays "total relaxation"! And now today's really excellent yoga workout. I've been needed to move out of very beginner to some of the more strengthening movements, this worked for me ; as well as the very relaxing meditation and breathing. perfect for me today! Thank you very much!
One note; I'm noticing it is very difficult for me to move into the cobra or upward dog. I know I need more muscle strengthening exercise and hoping I can find it through yoga practice.
