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.
Somatic Asana: Yielding
Explore the process of yielding through movement meditation and a series of asanas. Merge with the flow of energy moving through your practice.
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 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.
Gentle: Elemental Water
Beginning with mantra meditation and progressing from free movement to more structured āsana, we invite the water in our bodies and the quality of fluidity to inspire our movement.
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 Air & Prana
In this practice we aim to inhabit the body, rather than have awareness of it as a separate object. Includes mantra, breath meditation and gentle poses invoking the air element and prana
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.
Gentle Winter Solstice – Mantra & Prostrations
Gentle Mantra, Meditation, and Prostrations for the Solstice – Agni and Gayatri mantras, free movement, and devotional prostrations to candle light.
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.
Gentle Authentic Flow – Neck Release
Neck Release & Meditation – use slow, explorative movements to release the neck while gently opening the whole body, ending with a meditation on the central channel.
Recovery & Release – Shoulders
Use this session when you are recovering from physical activity, or mental and emotional stress. Release and relax the shoulders and all the joints of the body, going deep into silence and stillness, interspersed with gentle movement.
Sacred Stillness
Gentle Embodiment Sadhana: Practice a few gentle stretches, Samavritti pranayama, and a body scan which includes the 3 bindus.
Deep Stretch Shiva Practice
Deep Stretch and Stillness Practice – Embodied Yin – Have a strap, block and bolster, or a big pillow and a scarf and get ready to relax, go deep, and allow.
Authentic Flow – Navel Radiation
In this authentic flow practice our access point will be the navel center. Deep diaphragmatic breathing or kapalbhati are your pranayama choices, followed by a navel radiation meditation, and then movement prompts using the navel as our starting point and guide.
Authentic Flow – Red Bindu Activation
Explore the lower belly, low back and pelvis with awareness, movement and meditation. Activate the Red Bindu energetic center. With music.
