Moon Practice: Centering and Balancing

Activation of the lunar force establishes a foundation for healing, peace, and wisdom. These practices stimulate the nurturing energy that allows us to remain calm in the midst of turbulence, steady in the midst of change. They are key to awakening hidden intelligence, intuition and set the stage for the deepening practices that follow.

Sun Practice: Awakening the Sensitivity to Life Force

We focus on the approach to practice that links us to prana or life force. Sun practices allow us to increase vitality, subtle awareness, passion, and power. “Solar” energy leads to shining, both internally and externally. It is the basis for increasing the capacity of a practice to yield more and more powerful benefits as well as leading us to the final and most powerful stage of practice.

Fire Practice: Discovering and Living the Ultimate Aim of Practice

The ultimate aim of Yoga practice is to awaken our inner fire­­––the force of Spirit. Activation of the subtle force of fire leads to extraordinary perception and living. Practice focuses on generating the energy that dissolves inertia in order to access the sacred force residing in the spine called shakti––the power of soul.
