Extended Practice: OM and the Great Mystery
In this class we explore the rich and powerful teachings from one of the oldest of yoga texts, the Mandukya Upanishad. This short text provides insight into the nature of OM, waking, dreaming and cultivating peace. We will see how consciousness is inseparable from OM and discover how to heal the divided self. Through meditation, movement practice and discussion, this class embodies themes central to the heart of yoga.

Extended Practice: Stretching and Strengthening Inside Leg
Stretching the inner leg is essential to sustaining the deep life force in the body. Due to excess fatigue and stress, the inner leg is typically tight, weak or collapsed. In this class we stretch and strengthen the inside leg that is home to the deepest reserves in the body—in Chinese Medicine it is the location for the kidney, liver, and spleen meridians. Through both dynamic and restorative movements this class helps reduce fatigue, increase circulation and rejuvenate the entire body.

3-hr Training: Finding the Sweet Spot
Inside every pose there a point of tension and balance that opens all the connective tissues of the body. Thus any given movement requires finding the place where the bones, joints and fascia harmonize so the nervous system can let go and the breath move freely. In this class we practice finding the “sweet spot” in each pose in order to optimize the flow of prana inside.

Extended Practice: Fluid Hips, Sacral Waters
In the chakra system, the sacrum and hips are equated with watery flow. But over a lifetime the hip joints can become impacted and dehydrated. Today one in four people suffer from hip osteoarthritis. In this class we do movements to replenish the tissues around the hip through pumping, rocking, stretching and sliding. This class will bring a feeling of lightness, freedom and ease to your sacrum and hips.

3-hr Training: The Body of Delight
One of the goals of yoga is to embody the feeling of delight. Unfortunately, in our world today, many people more readily identify with feelings of discontent. Distinctly different than pleasure, delight in yoga is the basic nature of prana and awareness. In this class, we touch into the body of delight through movement, sound, meditation and by connecting to your deepest calling.
