Qi qong and meditation is often incorporated. Creative expression is encouraged. Everyone is free to go at their own pace to find their own rhythm. The waking of Shakti: the power of consciousness, happens when we move with intention and breath awareness.
Slow Flow with Yin
A slow pace of hatha poses linked to breath to create an easeful flow. for all levels. There will be time dedicated in each session for prop-supported restorative poses to release soft tissue and to calm the nervous system.
Gentle Flow
A simple set of movements strung together with gentle breath. No inversions or labor intensive postures are done in this session, leaving plenty of time to calm and center oneself.

Sacred Studies
An hour off the mat dedicated to a section of scripture, concentrating on an explanation of a deity, or breaking down a mantra to enhance one’s spiritual quest.
Yoga Nidra
Yoga Nidra progressively relaxes the body and allows us access to deeper levels of consciousness using visualization and cues. This couples well with a Flow practice prior. It is nice to do in the evening as it prepares us for deeper rest.
All sessions inspire a creative approach to inward connection and internal balance. We are a come as you are studio: nothing to know, everything to experience. Focus is on threading the breath through the body in such a way that movement becomes fluid and restorative.
