Just a general class exploring some of the more common standing poses, building strength and practicing alignment. If you haven't tried downward facing dog with your heels up the wall, give it a try. It changes the entire feel of the dog...in a good way.

The quote for tonight is actually a Sanskrit chant (translated): "May all beings in all realms experience joy."

I think there are probably as many variations on the Moon Salutation as there are yogis practicing. To me, a moon salutation should revovle around the side body (whereas Sun Salutations are usually front/back body focused). So starting with Mountain and working through forward fold, then reversing the poses back to mountain (first one side, then the other) creates a version of a moon salutation. Be creative and do what feels good!

Tonight's quote is about attitude: "There is no duty we so much under-rate as the duty of being happy. By being happy we sow anonymous benefits upon the world." -Robert Louis Stevenson
