Rajas Guna: Aspire, Empower, and Expand
We discuss the role of rajas and its relationship to evolution and expansion. Through practice we activate the qualities that help us overcome inner and outer limitations. Specific postures, sequencing, breath and Bhavana awaken the force that fuels growth and transformation.

Tamas Guna: Stability and Grounding
Steadiness in the midst of change and confidence in the midst of uncertainty are the hallmarks of self-mastery and the culmination of asana. Practice will emphasize yogic techniques that lead to being still, grounded, stable, and calm.
Wednesday 9 - 11:30 AM
Sattwa is the balance that leads to clarity, calm, and the recognition of spirit’s effulgent light. Our focus is on the practices that unlock awareness and the power of soul, that allow us to fully shine internally and externally.
