 Just got through leading my first Vinyasa Krama yoga class.  I hope it  was as fun for the people in the class as it was for me!  I emphasized  mindfulness of breathing throughout the class as a preparation for  meditation.  The class meditated after 1 1/2 hours of asanas and 15 minutes of  pranayama.  The room was almost completely still and was very quiet  during the 15 minute meditation period.

The perfect complements to Chan meditation!
Several people came over and told me they really enjoyed it. While I've taught meditation for a few years, this is the first time I taught it integrated with yoga asanas. Great fun!
