Move into advanced postures by injecting the mystical into the physical. Ancient yogis understood that the body comes into the alchemy of movement when instilled with intention, purpose, and connection. Postures are skillfully introduced and sequenced with increasing intensity, infused with non-dogmatic Yoga philosophy, suggestions from one’s own voice as revealed in the chanting of ancient mantras, as well as the all-elusive sound of one’s own breath. Variations to optional advanced poses are offered so practitioners can work at their own level, moving through arm balances, deep hip openers, twists, chest expanding backbends and inversions.

August brings us incredible astrological events. In this ceremony we will embrace the opening of the lion's gate, the period during the leo season where the veil of spirit is thin and connecting to our inner lion, our true power, is possible. The Lions gate is a time to call back any energy lost so we can be more joyful and free. This August ceremony also falls during Mercury retrograde, where we can step back and realign any communication, interpersonal and professional relationships, and have a beautiful moment of inner reflection. Along with the spirit of cacao and drum, we will experience profound healing and connection to the divine wisdom and magic that lies within. We will sit in a traditional circle and drink ceremonial strength cacao at the beginning of the ceremony. All are welcome to join! Please do not eat 2 hours before the ceremony. Optional to bring water and a journal.
