Sādhanā: Vārārī, Meditation, Mantras
Goddess of Discernment. In this session we spend 30 minutes on gentle stretches, then kapālabhāti and Nādī Shodhana prāṇāyāmas, mantra meditation on Vārāhī’s bījā mantra Aiṃ Glauṃ Aiṃ, then silent meditation
Somatic Asana: IT Band
Begin with a short meditation and then proceed through mostly gentle asanas (only 2 standing poses) to bring our awareness into the legs, soothe and stretch them.
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.
Gentle: Earth’s Lullaby
Using the bija mantra for the earth element, meditation, and slow deep stretches and free movement, we commune with the earth. Our experience of grounding, fertility, stability, nourishment and support are invoked, cultivated as well as our energetic connection with the earth below.
Gentle Inquiry
Chant bija mantras of the goddess Om Aim Hrim Srim, energy body meditation and use gentle hips openers to inquire to the body “if you had a message for me what would it be?”
Gentle Kālī: Black Radiance
Using Kali’s mantra, a somatic meditation and poetry, we slip into an energy guided gentle practice on the void within. Please have a strap and a block and set your Spotify Playback to Crossfade 5 sec. In Spotify go to Profile > Settings & Privacy > Playback > Crossfade.
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.
Embodied Yin: MahāŚakti & The Suśumṇa
Honoring the goddess in the central channel, we practice alternate nostril breathing, mantra, and yielding, grounding and balancing poses on the floor.
Embodied Yin: Pose As Prompt
Slow, relaxing and deep stretches with guidance to use the pose as a prompt rather than a directive, and feel into the energy that wants to move through you, even as tiny subtle movements.
Embodied Yin: Gentle Devotion to Lakshmi
Through mantra, prostrations, and gentle yin poses including inversions, we evoke the abundance and generosity of the heart of the goddess Lakshmi in our practice.
Bedtime Yoga
This is a practice that can be done on your mat, or in bed. Start with standing forward bends and progress into hip openers and leg stretches to put you into deep relaxation, followed by a body scan that may lead you right into sleep!
Sacred Stillness
Gentle Embodiment Sadhana: Practice a few gentle stretches, Samavritti pranayama, and a body scan which includes the 3 bindus.
Gentle Forward Bends
In this gentle class use forward bends to open into relaxation and feel energy move through your body freely and spontaneously. Integrate with free movement.
Joint Mobilization & Kundalini Frogs
In this 50 minute practice meditate for a few minutes then go through all the major joints in the body and move them in all directions to promote lubrication and circulation. Then create full body circulation with kundalini frogs and relax feeling your whole body renewed.
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.
Deep Stretch – Shoulders & Hips
Focus on the shoulders and hips, with deep breathing and meditation. This class will be a simple, therapeutic practice curated to help you nourish and recharge after the holiday celebrations. It will be mostly gentle, with just a few full body circulation moves to get clear, fresh energy moving through our bodies.
