Get to know your body, mind and spirit on a deeper level by practicing yoga asana (physical poses) organized around the wisdom found in studying the chakras (energy centers within the body). The knowledge of the power of the chakras, as well as all aspects of yoga, come to us from the Eastern traditions of Hinduism. A dharma talk (a philosophical focus) related to that day’s theme will begin each class as well as be woven throughout the physical practice. Breathwork and meditation will also be included. The instruction of the poses will incorporate important alignment principles, while still offering opportunities to build heat through flow. We will use the wisdom of yoga to build both outer and inner strength and flexibility.

Practicing yoga offers me tools to become more present with my body, mind and spirit and live in tune with that to the best of my ability. I hope to offer that space and these valuable practices to our community as we continue to do the difficult work of standing up against racism, oppression and other forms of hierarchy.
