Authentic Flow: The Alchemy of Earth
We will use the EARTH element as our entry point to the embodied experience.

We will use the AIR element as our entry point to the embodied experience. Using the mantra YAṂ to invite the experience of air into, through, and all around our bodies, we’ll then go into both structured and free movement to explore and invoke air, sky, and change, all set to some pretty awesome music!

Authentic Flow: Invite Kālī
Om Krim Kalikaye Namaha. This will not be a directed practice in that I’m not going to tell you exactly how to experience Kali. It’s more evocative, an exploration for you to invite the energy of Kali into your movement practice – however that shows up for you.
Gentle: Lakṣmi / Desire / Shoulders
Welcome in forgotten or pushed away desires as we work deeply to embody and nourish the shoulders with Downward Dog, Dolphin, shoulder focused sun salutations, and deep floor stretches focusing on the shoulders.
Authentic Flow – Desire
Cultivate willingness to feel all your desires fully. We invoke Lakṣmi with her mantra Om Shrim Mahalakshmiyai Namah and use hip openers and free movement to explore our energy of desire.
