Buddha's Blessings - A Great Day, Warm Sunshine, Deep Stretches, Tasty Lunch & Laughter

Sunday, May 5th was one of the best days for me!
Our community event, "Buddha's Blessings" unfolded beautifully this past Sunday in Creekside Park. It was a balmy, warm sunshiny day with white clouds moving across an azure sky.
I had gone earlier in the morning to hold the wide expanse of grassy area for our Surya Namaskara practice. I spread all the mats across the grass, sat in silence and allowed the energy of the practice to become conscious in the park.
All the students arrived on time, dressed comfortably, carrying Yoga mats and lots of delicious food :)
Thanks and big hugs to Sharadha, Bharathi, Nithya Prakash, Nithya Nagarajan and Priyanka for being my committed volunteers for this event. We met a few times through the last 2 months to plan out timings, ideas etc.
We started with a round of Surya Namaskara sequence, breathing in the warmth and sunshine. Then, we practiced the Beeja Mantras with the Surya Namaskara sequence. 

Did you know that each pose in the sequence has a Beeja Mantra?
Chanting as we practice is a deeper, conscious way to connect with the Prana; connect the mind-energy to the present; seamlessly integrate Body, Mind and Breath into every movement.

Hope you shine your light everywhere!!
Namaste.
