Connect (v) to place or establish in relationship


Wave (v) to float, play, or shake : move loosely to and fro


introspect (v) to practice introspection; consider one's own internal state or feelings.
Yoga is about awareness. Through heightening awareness of the breath, the body and the mind do we encourage unity. Pranayam is the essential practice in attainment of bodymind unity, as prana, or subtle energy (pranamaya kosha) connects the energies of body (annamayakosha) and mind (manomayakosha and vijnyanamayakosha). Thus in this class we study the many practices of pranayama and their effects on bodymind, we move with breath or study the breath in held postures. We study also alignments and the muscles complexes that are strengthened and stretched, modifying as we need to and using props for individual needs, as every body is different. This class combines restorative, therapeutic and classical asana sequences with a focus on enhancing the flow of energy in the bodymind (the classical intention of yoga asana) followed by structured pratyahara (sense withdrawal) and Dharana (concentration exercises) that lead to meditative states (Dhyana, or meditation, is a state, not a practice). In both asana and meditative practices we study the bodymind and move more deeply into awareness—through introspection.

This class is moderately demanding physically (with modifications as needed) and more intensely demanding on the level of awareness. Asana practice always focuses on balance between strength and flexibility and between warmth and cooling, building toward more demanding stretches, but always with awareness. 75 minute class finishes with a 20 minute meditative, guided relaxation practice. Each class is different.
