Moon Shine

Yesterday morning I logged into this livemag site at "Yoga Journal", http://www.yogajournal.com/livemag/lmcontent/77, and was blown away by the beauty of the practice called "Moon Shine". It's the sister to Sun Salutation, but it is meant to be done in the evening or when your energy is low, and you just can't muster up the strength and courage to do the heat-building Sun Salutation.

Shiva Rea demonstrates this sensual practice and it flows just like the name says--can't think of a name better than Moon Shine.

What I liked most about this practice is that it is accessible to EVERYONE, not just the athletic yogi types. I began this practice yesterday morning and felt my endorphins soar. Wow! This was so beautifully gentle. I can only imagine what it will feel like to do this everyday!

Hi Amy,
The video of Shiva Rea doing "Moon Shine" was inspiring. This is a beautiful, sensual, flowing, expressive form of yoga that is probably my favorite because it feels so natural. I have a DVD of Shiva Rea which is called FLUID POWER, Vinyasa Flow Yoga. When I watch and do the yoga on this video, I feel like the 'energy' is moving me. Very cool! Thanks for the suggestion!
