Authentic Flow – The Neck & Vishuddha Chakra

Authentic Flow – The Neck & Vishuddha Chakra

Using this portal of the neck, the throat chakra, the junction between the head and the rest of the body, we will enter into the space of direct experience, intimacy with ourselves and this very potent part of the body. We’ll chant the bija mantras on the petals of the throat chakra, the vowels of the sanskrit alphabet: aṃ, āṃ, iṃ, īṃ, uṃ, ūṃ, ṛṃ, ṝṃ, ḷṃ, ḹṃ, eṃ, aiṃ, oṃ, auṃ, aṃ, aha

Authentic Flow for Yogasana Practitioners

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.

Ritual Moon Practice – Chandra Namaskar – Soma Lunar Flow

Mantras:
-Om Somaye Namaha
-Om Shram Shreem Shraum, Sah Chandraye Namaha

In this 90 minute moderately challenging, slow paced asana class you will practice 2 different variations of Chandra Namaskar (moon salutations), as well as guided meditation, visualization, japa mantra (chanting), and silent meditation. Use this class during any time of the month to synchronize your sadhana with the cycles of the moon.

Authentic Flow – Mental Discipline Vs. Embodiment

After invoking Kālī’s bīja mantras to offer strength, energy, and sweetness, we go into an exploration and experimental practice contrasting ignoring the mind and sticking with a pose no matter what with complete freedom and embodying the deepest impulse we can get in touch with. Both practices are essential for the path.

Classical Surya Namaskars with Tantrik Bīja Mantras

Take part in this ritual practice. The first 15 minutes is instruction in the movement patterns and translations of the mantras. The rest of the practice is pranayama and steady namaskars, with mantras to guide our movements. Please note that first mantra in each namaskar is in stillness with hands in namaste.

Classical Surya Namaskar – Slow

Classical Surya Namaskar – Instruction and Practice
We’ll use Ganesh Mantras and a Ganesh playlist to help us overcome obstacles and get grounded in some of the basics of yoga. You will receive instruction in this sun salutation so that you can practice on your own whenever you want. And this will be a full sadhana as well including ganesh mantras, meditation and embodiment practice.

Bliss Pod – Restore

45 minutes of completely chill, relaxing stretches. If you have a bolster or two, that will make your practice more cozy, but not entirely necessary. I’m recovering from the flu, so this practice will be well suited to anyone who is recuperating, fatigued, menstruating, etc. Nourish and soothe yourself with this short asana practice.

Build Your Own Practice

Learn some short sequences and then take time to bring them to life in your own body. You will be given enough guidance that you are glad you came to class, and enough freedom that you start to feel what your own yoga feels like in your body – not my idea of yoga, or any other teacher. Start to find your own embodiment!

Diabolical Pigeons

Hip Opening & Strengthening (i.e. Diabolical Pigeons) – Challenge your flexibility, strength and balance simultaneously with this vigorous pigeon variation sequence. Your hips and lower body will feel light and airy afterwards! Meditation with the microcosmic orbit included.

Opening for Meditation

Opening the Energy Body for Meditation – 75 minutes total – Moderate. This is a full body practice that aims to open the entire energetic and physical body with the breath and asana for 45 minutes, then for a 13 minute silent meditation at the end, which can be extended as long as you like.”

Open to What Arises

a 60 minute Gentle class (with moderate options given for raising the intensity level) which will focus on inviting whatever emotions are ready to come up and be seen and holding space for these with meditation and āsana. Options will be given to allow emotion to be fully experienced through stillness, movement, posture, mantra and breath.
