EARTH PRACTICE - guided meditation

10/15/2015

The EARTH practice consists of 3 parts - Yin yoga, Yang yoga (Hatha yoga) and meditation. You can combine the three practices in whatever way you want.
This video contains just the meditation part - we start with a grounding pranayama, focusing on the exhaling part of our breathing cycle. I then guide you through a mindfulness meditation practice that includes breath awareness and becoming aware of our physical, emotional, mental aspects through witnessing.
Make sure your seated posture is comfortable - no pressure to sit cross-legged if that is uncomfortable. Try sitting up on a cushion or blanket, also sitting against the wall to support the back helps. If none of the floor positions work, then please sit on a chair with you back upright and straight. 

This video can be used on its own or in combination with any other practice. Meditation can be done before your asana practice or after - both options are legitimate, just experiment and find out what works for you. And remember, what works changes from one day to another. 
Here are the two other practices from the EARTH series:
  • the slow and stretchy YIN yoga - perfect to open the body for mediation or to use the quiet meditative state after your sit to explore the passive holds of a yin practice
  • grounding and balancing Hatha yoga - again can be used before or after your meditation.

The MUSIC used as a soundtrack in all these practices is created by my partner Eli Salzman and now also released in an album called Kukeranna.
The album is unique as most of the tracks were recorded when Eli played LIVE in my yoga classes at our annual summer retreat in beautiful Kukeranna, Estonia. 


This is a powerful soundtrack for yoga practice, meditation, ritual or simply relaxing and enjoying.

The album is available for download in iTunes,
 in Bandcamp (for €) and in CDbaby (for $). 

​NOW also available limited edition CDs with Yoga Guide booklet.


​Have a listen and share the good vibes!
