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 – 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.
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 – 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.
Authentic Flow: Shiva’s Favs
I wanted a practice with all my favorite poses, one I would do over and over myself. This sadhana includes mantra, free movement and a sequence of some of my very favorite poses to get into all the nooks and crannies, including toe stretch, squats, vinyasa with lunges, and more.
Ritual Moon Practice – Chandra Namaskar – Soma Lunar Flow
Mantras:
-Om Somaye Namaha
-Om Shram Shreem Shraum, Sah Chandraye Namaha
In this 90 minute moderately challenging, slow paced asana class you will practice 2 different variations of Chandra Namaskar (moon salutations), as well as guided meditation, visualization, japa mantra (chanting), and silent meditation. Use this class during any time of the month to synchronize your sadhana with the cycles of the moon.
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
Invoke the goddess Durga using her mantra both at the beginning and end of the practice. Pulsations will allow us to tap into our own inner power and strength, through gentle guided movements.
Classical Surya Namaskars with Tantrik Bīja Mantras
Take part in this ritual practice. The first 15 minutes is instruction in the movement patterns and translations of the mantras. The rest of the practice is pranayama and steady namaskars, with mantras to guide our movements. Please note that first mantra in each namaskar is in stillness with hands in namaste.
Tantrik Embodiment Sadhana – Kali & Slow Sun Salutations
This Tantric Embodiment Sadhana works with Kali’s mantra, meditation, asana and exploratory movement to open the body and release attachment and resistance.
