Reaching and Returning

In yoga philosophy there is a belief that life - at its most basic level - is comprised of an endless flow of subtle vibrations. All creation is said to hum with pulsation, with a wavelike alternation of rising and falling, of reaching and returning, of becoming and being. The flow of these subtle vibrations is called spanda in yoga philosophy, and much of our practice is about settling into these waves of life with an ever deepening clarity and ease.This 27-minute reclined movement practice explores the lovely ways that life is expressed through us, as we move and breathe and rest. We explore the possibility of rooting - of reaching and of returning - in ways that key us into the springy and wavelike flow of movement both within and beyond us.Like waves, we aren’t meant to only rise or only fall. We aren’t meant to only reach out and never return home. Our lives are expression of the beautiful play of ebb and flow, of movement and stillness, of giving and receiving, of self and other. In each moment, we are invited to participate with delight in the ever-changing flow of life. Get full access to At Home in the World at claudiacummins.substack.com/subscribe
