Balancing Effort and Ease on Your Mat

Flow class [60 minutes]

Sthira Sukham Asanam. "Asana is a steady easy seat." This hour long flow class is designed to help you balance the effort and ease on your mat so you can practice balancing effort and ease off your mat. Recorded at Epic Yoga DC one rainy February afternoon.

Sa Hum Soothing Flow

Flow class [30 minutes]

This meditative flow is perfect when you do not have a lot of time but do want to roll out your mat to connect and refocus. You can actually get a lot done in that amount of time! Within this practice, I lead you through a kriya technique I learned from my teacher. Use the mantra Sa on the inhalation and Hum on the exhalation. This will help direct your energy and bring inspiration into your day. As you practice this technique moving through the asana on your mat, you will become more focused and present in your moment. After you get used to using this tool on your mat, you can practice this anywhere during your day to help direct and focus your energy.

Tapas

Flow class [60 Minutes]

This hour long practice flow focuses on tapas, translated as 'discipline' or 'austerity.' We sometimes hear it means to sweat and burn impurities. In Tantra we see it as burning out patterns that do not serve us and having the dedication to our practice that will move us through our karma. This class was recorded at Vida Fitness, Verizon Center.

Connect and Flow in Cuba

Flow class [90 Minutes]

This very special class was recorded March 15th, 2016, during our first morning practice at Mhai Yoga In Cuba. The word of the day was “connect.” Take 90 minutes to practice with us and connect to the space within that always exists. As one of the first American yoga retreat groups there, I am so grateful to Mhai Yoga and to Cultural Contrast for helping me make this happen. We will be returning to this incredible venue in March of 2017.
