Haṭha Yoga: Daily Practice 1
With little verbal instruction, but lots of meditative demonstration we work through 30 poses plus sun salutations in order to move energy through the whole body. Short yet complete body scan in savasana.
Authentic Flow for Yogasana Practitioners
There is some kind of magic that happens with a combination of evocative music, a bit of guiding language and space holding (but not too much), and movement which can bring you into an altered state of awareness that often yields insight and/or a direct experience of reality, unmediated by your thinking mind. It does take practice. And it takes trust, and surrender to the process. It takes willingness to move out of the comfort of your beloved asanas and into the unknown.
Somatic Asana: Allow Everything
In this series of postures we explore the modes of imagining what it would be like to allow everything to be just as it is, and to move from something other than your mental activity.
Shake The Dust: Tirodhāna, The Fourth Act
The Fourth Act: Concealment – explore your contractions, habitual patterns, and occlusions through practicing perpetual movement and integrative stillness.
Somatic Asana: Yielding
Explore the process of yielding through movement meditation and a series of asanas. Merge with the flow of energy moving through your practice.
Authentic Flow – The Third Act: Dissolution
Samhara – The Third Act – Invoke the process of dissolution or reabsorption through your embodiment. Start with guided sequences and dissolve into free form movement. Begins with Kāli mantras and ends with silent savasana.
Shake The Dust – The Second Act: SUSTAIN
In this practice we will sustain. We will go into the patterns that we hold, that support us, that allow us to cope and maintain even during tough times. Sometimes these can feel repetitive, in a comfortable way or an irritating way depending on how you relate to them. Bring your patterns and we will Shake The Dust!!!
