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.
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.
Authentic Flow: The Alchemy of Space
Authentic Flow: The Alchemy of Space – Tap into the element of space through bija mantra repetition, somatization, asana, and super slow movement meditation. No demonstration, but lots of verbal guidance.
Authentic Flow: The Alchemy of Water
We’ll be using WATER as our gateway into sensation, this includes the fluids of the body, the blood, and the fluids of the earth. We will also chant bija mantra for the element of water.
Authentic Flow: The Alchemy of Earth
We will use the EARTH element as our entry point to the embodied experience. The bīja mantra for the earth is LAṂ and we’ll start by chanting this and then go into somatic explorations grounded in the earth, our bones and invoking the red bindu which symbolizes EMBODIMENT – our bodies are made of earth, after all.
Authentic Flow: The Alchemy of Air
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: Agni & Bakāsana
We’ll invoke Agni with a mantra, then using the access point of Navel radiation we’ll activate the energy lines and release the blockages that prevent Bakāsana or Crane pose.
Authentic Flow: Mahāśakti & The Suṣumṇa
Use the seed syllable mantras of Mahashakti to worship the goddess in and as the central energetic channel or nadi. We do mantra practice, nadi shodana pranayama, and then keep our attention focused on the central channel throughout our movement practice.
