Kriya

What is kriya? Kriya teaches the laws of general conduct, including harmlessness, truthfulness, non-stealing.

Today in Sanieh's class, she began with kapalabati breathing seated. Then we went through a few rounds of sun salutations. Then while in Virabhadrasana I, we held the position and assumed kapalabati breathing.

We basically incorporated breathing techniques with the postures. At the end of class, she demonstrated uddiyana banddha where she hollowed out her belly. The class was stunned. She talked us through it. Then we had a few minutes to play with it.

For compensation, we were in a gentle dwi pada pithm. I used a block and rested. Savasana felt short today.
