Sahaja Vinyasa – Spontaneous Flow
Beginning with basic sun salutations, we’ll start with structured vinyasa practice and slowly progress to more and more freedom and spontaneity, with music and mantra.
Shake The Dust – What Is Freedom?
Meditate in stillness and movement, MOVE stagnant energy, and use vigorous perpetual intensification to feel what is arising in this moment and move through stuck habitual patterns.
Authentic Flow: Blood
Blood – the water of life that flows through each of us. The fluid that nourishes all of our cell tissues. The rhythm of life that pumps in our chest. I invite you to open a dialogue with your own blood and let it speak to you through your body. Who knows what it might say!
Shake The Dust: You Appear
Using repetitive and vigorous movement we’ll bring up what is ready to move and LET IT MOVE! Plenty of support, free space, and also lots of cheerleading from this end of things. Once we shake things up, move things around, and go into what is arising, then what is ready to leave can leave and YOU APPEAR.
Somatic Asana: Great Basic Practice
Move the spine in all directions, proceed through basic vinyasa patterns, and into slow and deep stretches, with exploration and using something other than thought to motivate movement.
Authentic Flow: Digest Experience
Cultivate the qualities and postures of awareness that help to facilitate the arising of that which wants to be digested: Safety, Willingness, Curiosity, Space, Attention, Patience, and more.

Proceed at a steady pace through about 30 āsanas, including sun salutations, to get into all the nooks and crannies, with a somatic approach.
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.
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 – Creation: The First Act
CREATION – The First Act – Today we connect to the point from which all things arise, the point of creation, or emission. Lots of free movement, no demonstration.
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 – 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.
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.

Motionless Movement – Using a moderate sequence of poses, and unstructured movement, focus on relaxed open awareness to perceive the vibrationless-vibration that is essential to Trika Shaivism.

Authentic Flow – Alignment for Energetic Activation
We will use alignment cues not for physical correctness, or safety or aesthetics, but instead to generate and connect to lines of energy in the body.
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.
Durga, Power and Pulsation
