Yang Yin with Pranic Balancing

Yoga teaches us we are much more than a physical body. We also have a mental body, a wisdom body, a bliss body and a pranic body that are effected by everything we do. Our pranic body is our energy body, prana is our life force. Breath practices along with many other things affect our vitality. This 60 min practice utilizes the breath in several ways to help harmonize our energy while the physical practice is a balance of more warming, followed by cooling postures. Enjoy!!

Deluxe Practice to Cultivate a Tranquil Mind

This 75 minute experience begins with a 10 minute meditation known to be helpful for the “pitta” dosha in the mind, an Ayurvedic concept that can describe the state of mind/body when we are pushing ourselves (and maybe others) to get things done, to achieve and do more, perhaps to the detriment of our energy and relationships to others and ourselves. The sequence is meant to be engaging and strengthening, ultimately supporting more contentment with the way things are, as they are.

Wake Up Happy

A first thing in the morning refresher. An invitation to focus on the good, get inspired, breathe and move in ways to uplift and invigorate (no yoga mat required- you could do it next to the bed!).

A strong practice featuring an engaging and relaxing breath technique throughout while tending to core awakening, twists and a challenge or two to help you work out the excess tension and stress and finally relax.

The yogic map of a human being consists of five sheaths (koshas) that we can work with to balance our system and connect with our true nature more often.

Use this morning ritual when you want to ground and calm a nervous mind and body and focus scattered attention.
