Living your Yoga Practice
You are Ethereal in Essence
In this recognition of your divinity, there lies the empowering truth: you are the creator of your experiences. The thoughts and energy you cultivate shape the reality you move through. You are in control, not by force, but through the conscious awareness that you have the power to craft your life with intention.
Breath, Balance and Bravery
Our sequence was inspired by a story from the Indian Epic, The Ramayana. The story of Hanuman leaping across the ocean to rescue Sita, is a metaphor for our own lives. Hanuman’s journey teaches us to take leaps of faith and trust in our inner magic, even when faced with challenges, just as he navigated his way out of the sea monsters' grasp. As we transitioned into longer, passive restorative postures, we reflected on times in our lives when we took brave leaps of faith, betting on ourselves. We get to consciously choose how we move through life, focusing on our internal experience when the external world is beyond our control.
Ghandi, Shiva and You in Warrior II
We stood with one hand reaching into the past and the other extending into the future, finding ourselves perfectly centered in the present moment. This posture serves as a metaphorical bridge, connecting who we have been with who we have the opportunity to become. It is a powerful reminder that we get to decide what we carry forward. What do you choose to bring with you into the next moment?
We often think of the third eye as a window into the future, a way to see beyond ourselves. However, we sometimes overlook that the future we foresee is shaped by the energy we emit in the present.
What you do today is who you will become tomorrow.
Finding Your Energetic Equilibrium
Nadi Shodhana brings awareness to the balance of feminine and masculine energies within. The feminine energy is nurturing, fluid, and receptive, while the masculine energy embodies movement, action, and passion. Both are essential in life, guiding us to know when to assert ourselves and take action and when to pause, be patient, and refrain from acting.
Breath, Balance and ‘So Hum’
"So Hum" is a reminder of our true nature. It encourages self-inquiry and self-awareness, leading to the realization that our true essence is not limited by our physical bodies or minds but we are part of a larger, infinite consciousness.
The Goddess of War & Feminine Power - Eris
