KarenParkerYoga's video: Restorative Evening Hatha Yoga Salute to the Inner Calm with Peace Shanti Chant Full Class

This is a deliciously languid yoga practice to prepare the body for sleep or anytime you feel like a very gentle hatha yoga practice. We tap into the nurturing and supportive energy of Mother Earth by staying close to the ground throughout the practice. The closest we get to standing up is Anjaneyasana (low lunge) on our knees. The hips are loosened in Meru Akaranasana (stretching the spine and inner thigh), and Supta Eka Pada Rajakapotasana (reclining pigeon). We connect mind, body and heart in a soothing flow called Salute to the Inner Calm whilst chanting shanti, shanti, shantihi (peace, peace, peace). The flow features Anahatasana (Heart Pose), Balasana (Child Pose), Vajrasana (Diamond Pose) and a supportive inversion - Shashankasana (Hare Pose). This complete yoga class is suitable for new and experienced yogis.
