Flow into Balance

As we move into fall, daylight and night move into equilibrium, giving us a perfect opportunity to find our own balance in this flow of life! This workshop will take us on a journey through a Vinyasa Flow focusing on incorporating these powerfully effective, balancing poses. Adding innovative transitions will lead us deeper into asana, challenge our balance, test our strength and give us kick ass super powers! When we approach the flow from this different perspective, concentrating on how the core, quads and upper body work together, we can move more skillfully and flow into balance!

We will explore the stories of a few of the Hindu deities and the corresponding mantras. Using these mantras to practice basic the art of kirtan (“singing” devotional songs, usually practiced in a call-and-response group format with musical instruments.) Also exploring the subtleties of the energetic body (chakras) and ‘feeling’ how the mantras are experienced in the body.
