    The "vayus" is an old, Vedic teaching based on the idea of Prana "energy" moving through your body like "the gods of the wind."

    This is a hybrid practice that infuses yoga, breath, shaking, jumping, squats and releasing tension from your mind-body-brain nexus. This is great if you want a faster class to release stress. There are moments of a quick sweat / heart rate increase as well which are excellent biomarkers for rele...

    This begins with a five min chat on dopamine and its relationship to our brain's ability to stay focused and in attention. We then do longer sets of intense breath to support adrenaline and dopamine release.

  • Aug 7: Cleansing Breath Series: Fire + Alternate Nostril x 3 (32 min)

    This is an excellent moderate/intermediate breath practice integrating "breath of fire" followed with two traditional practices: right and left nostril focused breathing and then both.

  • Aug 7: Dynamic Flow: "All the Planes" (65 min)

    This is a unique and therapeutic flow with the three anatomical planes as theme: sagittal (flex and extending at joints) coronal (moving side to side, laterally with your joints) and transverse (twisting and joint rotation). It is a juicy, sweaty practice for the full body. Enjoy!
