Centering...talk about the battlefield
Arjuna the archer is your courageous spirit. Krishna is your divine nature. The Kauravas are all your familiar bad habits and past pains.

Closing: We practice yoga to skillfully engage in battle to overcome our injuries and pain that holds us back, so we can free ourselves to align with our hearts.
Success!/Concerns: Had some students with knee issues so spend time showing everyone how to properly and safely align legs in virasana with invisible line through second toe, heel, and knee.
Had several students after class with questions about using some specific poses to relieve chronic back pain. Pointed out poses we already did today that they can do at home to help. Also gave them a few other options.
Next week we're having mind/body weekend at the Y so my class will be a 1 hour workshop called Yoga Technigues for Anxiety & Stress Management.
