Spring has sprung even though the temperatures and wind have been in a wild pulsation up and down. As I write this, various birds are chirping outside my window and Cooper is enjoying the emergence of grass in my backyard. Check out the photos from our recent Welcome Spring Kids Yoga class. We flew like birds, did flamingo poses, and ‘ribbited’ and jumped around like frogs and more!
Spanda is the Sanskrit word which describes the sacred tremor of the Spirit that is everywhere. Spanda is a pulsation, movement, motion or vibration and comes from the root word spadi with means ‘to move a little’. Examples of spanda include the contraction & expansion of a muscle in asana, the up & down of the temperatures, the vibrations of music as pitch changes high & low – the list goes on and on.
The warming temperatures and longer hours of sun offers us a multitude of activities and ways to experience spanda outside. But as you venture outside, make sure you also take time to venture inside to tend your Heart and reunite with the sacred tremor of the Spirit moving as you on the mat.
Love,
Denise
