Spring can be a crazy-busy time. This is especially true in the setting of a college town like Oberlin, with everyone scrambling to finish the semester. Plus outdoor chores and recreation beckon.

We’ve learned that a slight drop-off in our attendance always happens this time of year, and because we’re facing many of the same demands on our time, we understand the reasons for it.

As much as we encourage people to make yoga a regular activity (that’s what we’re in the business of doing after all), were also aware that there are times when life just intrudes. And we want you to know that if the pulls of life have carried you away for a time, the studio is here whenever you find the space to come back, and we’ll be happy to see you.

If you don’t have time to get to Solaluna but are looking for a little guidance with a practice, here’s an audio recording of an asana sequence that strikes a balance between being accessible and challenging.

This recording does require familiarity with bridge pose, seated poses, downward facing dog, squatting and lunges, so it’s not for raw beginners and should be modified as appropriate by anyone with injuries and/or movement restrictions.

Want a visual reference for the practice? Stick-figure drawings of the whole sequence may be accessed here.  Feel free to download and print. When viewed in your browser, the drawings may appear to be grainy, but they’ll print just fine. If you have any trouble, contact us.

Happy Spring! Stay grounded.

Eric and the folks at Solaluna
