Tantra Vinyasa: Awaken the Creative Force

According to Tantra, Spanda is the ecstatic pulse of the unmanifest, the source of creative energy, the soul of the material world; it is also the yogis’ bridge to spirit. In this class you will be led through a sequence of asanas (with an emphasis on twists), pranayama, and meditation –– practices that awaken your connection to eternal creative energy and the inner pulsation of your spirit.  Some theory gets us started.

Sattva Vinyasa: From Detox to Freedom

The teaching of the Gunas––the three essential attributes or qualities of the natural world––may well be the yogic tradition’s most essential teaching on mastering both our inner and outer universe. Of the three, Sattva is the quality of clarity and balance that leads to ultimate freedom and revelation––the recognition of spirit’s effulgent light. Through lecture and practice we focus on the yogic approach to higher stages of practice, allowing us to unlock awareness that leads to the vision and the power of soul. In addition to Asana, Bandha, and Mudra, there’ll be some chanting as well as Kriya and Tantric meditation techniques.

Moon Vinyasa: Deep Stillness, Healing Power

Activation of the lunar force invokes the power of steadiness, immovable resolve, and the qualities of self-knowing. In this practice we’ll stalk the inner moon and invoke its nurturing and sublime forces through a powerful, yet deeply soothing asana, pranayama, and meditation sequence for body and mind. Through experience and some theory, you’ll cultivate the forces that lead to calm in the midst of turbulence and that awaken peace, intuition, and courage.
