Gentle Vinyasa, Mantra and Mantra Meditation, pay what you can

After a recent trip to the Himalayan Institute, I decided that it is time for me to start teaching mantras and mantra meditations on a regular basis. Mantras, when practiced daily, awaken our dormant inner light. Just as the Bible tells us that "God is the Word and the word is God," so the ancient yogis discovered that sacred mantras awaken the light of God within the practitioner. I started practicing mantra 3 years ago and now feel prepared to share some of my experience with you. It is my hope, that as we practice these mantras together, we can illuminate ourselves and thus bring more light into this troubled world. Please join me for this adventure.

Meditation Class

Come and learn how to use your mind to quiet your mind. The aim and practice of Classical Yoga is to still the conscious mind, allowing the unconscious to rise to the surface and become conscious. As this happens we view the unconscious dispassionately cultivating what we call “witness consciousness.” Through meditation we can learn to observe own own minds thinking and come to realize that we are not our thoughts. To the contrary we are “that which perceives our mind thinking.” In this way we learn not be reactive. Meditation teaches us how to rest in the stillness of the Self, that aspect of ourselves that is clear, discerning, wise, steady and forever peaceful. No yoga or meditation experience necessary._

Shakti Flow

• As a teacher my intention is to create a space that is peaceful and supportive for people to explore their abilities, and to move beyond limited beliefs. To provide tools that empower students to take responsibility for their quality of life. • My approach is a combination of precision to alignment and intuition, strength and fluidity, and wisdom in action, all initiated by the breath. It is pure vinyasa flow. Vinyasa comes from the Sanskrit "naysa," which means "to place", and the prefix "vi," "in a special way" • The flow of a class unfolds through dynamic and creative sequencing designed to wake up all parts of the body. By moving into and out of poses in unique and sometimes unexpected ways we travel trough the layers to connect to the body, mind and spirit. • Classes/practices vary. Sometimes the focus is on strength and endurance, tapping into ones inherent power. At other times the focus will be geared towards balance and grace, while another might be low to the ground exploring roots. All classes have a conscious focus on the breath, and whether the practice is vigorous, or slow moving, the over all lasting energy will be one of balance an deep relaxation. • I also like to introduce the other aspects of yoga with in my asana classes. • Hopefully the student will be able to translate what happens on the matt (and sometimes off) into every day life. • I hope to challenge, nurture and inspire my students to connect with their true essence and embody their aliveness and creative potential.
