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.
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!!!
Somatic Asana: Simple Practice
Sit in silence for a few minutes before diving into a guided asana practice with lots of space for exploration and free movement. Moderate
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.
Somatic āsana: Spine, Ribs, Breath
In this twisting practice we focus on these three elements: spine, ribs, breath, especially where the spine and ribs come together when taking a breath to create space and free the spine and ribcage for fluid movements.
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.

Start to find your own embodiment!
