Awaken Your Heart - Sadhana

Taking your practice beyond the mat and into the heart

with Jo Tastula and Stuart Watkins

 

(Friday Evening Practice) Sacred Utterances ~ flowing with Mantra with Jo

As valuable as yoga asana is in the practice of yoga, there is also so much that encompasses a truly awakening and integrative yoga practice. We can dive deeper into the subtle realms and be transported by sound, breath and the sacred vibrations of mantra. Initially these utterances are like tuning forks, opening up pathways for energy to flow succinctly, but eventually the experience is one of realization and oneness with the Truth of what is being cultivated.   Join Jo for this juicy, heart-opening exploration with focused attention to realizing and embodying your most radiant, whole Self.

(Saturday Morning Practice) Frequency Tune-up: With Stu

Unpacking, tuning, opening and balancing your Heart energy. During this transcendental, liberating, yet highly integrative workshop, Stuart will guide you into intelligent usage of yoga asana to help literally raise your frequency, quite the mind, and open up your pathways so more prana and consciousness can flow freely, therefore your radiant heart can more easily shine at its fullest. To amplify this heart opening work/play the usage of pranayama and mantra will skillfully be woven into the mix.

(Saturday Afternoon Practice) DISSOLVING INTO ONENESS THROUGH BREATH with Jo

Jo welcomes you to join her on this journey of inspiration.  The breath is the current that unifies the experience of body and mind, and through the breath everything can be experienced more deeply and wholeheartedly.  There is both an exoteric and esoteric component to the breath as it takes us from gross to subtle, from our individual self to our universal experience and when utilized to its full capacity has profound healing qualities.  Our silky slow vinyasa style flow will bring stability to the foundations, strength to the core of the body and open the subtle channels so that the pranic heart of breath will flow succinctly carrying healing and transformational energies throughout.

(Sunday Morning Practice) JOURNEY TO THE STILL POINT with Stu

Join Stuart for this powerful class of going deep into the central column of the body and our Being. When this central column (the Sushumna Nadi) has been unblocked, cleared and balanced, this clear pathway opens the possibility for inner stillness, balance, meditation and even enlightenment.

Through contemplation, pranayama exercises, kundalini kriyas, and precise yet intuitive hatha sequences we’ll open up the potential for this still point to be more easily accessed, and ground this innate spacious clarity into all the various aspects of our lives.

(Last Afternoon Practice) Master Class: Chakras Flow and yoga Nidra: With Stu and Jo!

In the first installment of this master class, Stuart will guide participants through the central axis of the subtle body (the Sushumna nadi), which connects and flows through all of the 7 main chakras. With accessible contemplations, visualizations, intelligent usage of asana, pranayama and inner sound work, participants will deepen their skills and tools that helps one to balance the chakras and unblock the central axis, allowing the art of yoga to be further embodied.

 

For the second part of this master class, Jo will guide you through the sheaths and chakras of the subtle body for a deeply rejuvenating meditative experience.  Yoga Nidra is the yoga of aware sleep. It is a deep relaxation technique which enables one to access the unconscious mind in a conscious way. By traversing the two worlds of wakefulness and dream the contents of the unconscious mind can arise and be integrated into the conscious experience. Here you can plant the deep seeds of Sankalpa or resolve for greater health, abundance and vitality of life!
