Waking Up | Yoga for Fluidity and Grounding of the Body and Heart | Our Echo Yoga

This is a practice for grounding and fluidity, and really WAKING UP. Waking up to what's alive in the body, what is needed. This practice is inspired by the book Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts. Often we enter romantic relationships because of something we like and need. Do we want to die with this person? When we step into loving relationships, something in us dies while something new is born and blossoms.

The pain and grief that can come with love and heartbreak is what Shataram calls "assassin's grief". Before stepping into relationship, we can ask ourselves, will this person be in the trenches with me while I move through my trauma, my layers, will they stand by me while I move through what I need to?
