AIM: To give a 90-minute class with the build-up towards DOLPHIN (Makarasana) pose.

DOLPHIN SYMBOLISM: Allow yourself to have more fun. Dolphins are known for their ability for having fun. They are playful and filled with joy. They are also nimble and strong. Allow yourself to become a dolphin and be aware of all the things to be joyous of in your life right now. Joy is your birthright. You don’t have to ‘do’ something to deserve basking in joy.
